*help* Volk Gt-n 18x8 Offset??


I ordered a set of Custom White Volk GT-N Rims about 2 months ago from Japan and they are still not here. =X arghhhh!!!

I asked my friend yesterday for ETA on the rims. He got back to me today and said its gonna take another 8 weeks!

He also explained to me that I might need spacers to clear the brembos. Apparently Volk had made 1 rim and it came really close to the caliper. So they are gonna make another rim w/ a lower offset. Does anyone know what offset will clear the Brembos?? The rim size is 18x8. If anyone has Volk GT-N 18X8 please help!!
Thanks!

Lawrence

First,I ordered some 17 x 9 +35 offset volks & It's going to be like March until I see them.
and 18 x 8 with a 30 should fit since 17 x 8.5 30 is factory my .02


you going to maybe have to wait until the wheels get there and see

My friend said if i get a lower offset than +30mm the bigger the lip. So like a +22mm or +25mm offset on a 18X9 would have bigger lip. Anyone hear of someone with this low of a offset on a EVO? and do you think it will fit?
