I also think the Volks look WAY better than the SSRs. The SSRs aren't bad, but the Volks are just so much better. Do you have some normal pictures of the front, back, and sides yet?

I'm going to get Compomotive MO 18x8 rims for my VR4. Compomotive list the offset range as 23-35 and backspace range as 5.3"-5.8".
I looked up the GVR4 Tire & Wheel Knowledge database but I don't understand it. Probably because I am DUMB !!!
So someone tell me please ... will these fit in the existing arches or do I need to flare !!!

[You will need a wheel spacer to make them fit (Stick out properly)... you may want to rethink that.]

They are pretty close. I was one of, if not the first to put a T/E/L real in my Galant VR4. I was messing with you.

Thank you.
[Edit] I was being sarcastic on the sticking way out thing and not know the TEL and Galant are similar. I changed it so I don't confuse anyone. Sorry.

VOLK GTP's- Talk to Ron, I think he is the one with a set of volks that have an offset of over 40 and are 8". He said they worked.
Harry, I think you've flip flopped the offsets. Should be the less offset you have (closer to 0, or negative) the further out it pushes the wheel from the body. Mating surface to center of wheel. So if you go to a 43, or higher offset you have issues with the struts and fender liner.
Those wheels are so illmatic, I don't think you even need fender flares. Just dial in the camber in the front and leave the rear...its not that bad. Plus, tires that stick out a tad make the car look super mean! Please take more pics /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif
Oh, Paul-
They should fit if you go with the higher offset (35), and actually they'll work all the way down to the 23 but if you go 30 or lower you might want to flare. If you look at harry's wheels, you can see that if you got a 30mm offset on your wheels they should stick out 1/4" less than what harry's do.....I think

I edited my respond so I won't confuss anyone: I was being sarcastic on the sticking way out thing and not know the TEL and Galant are similar.
I wanted to pick on him just a little.

The car definitely looks sweet, Harry. Glad you like your Volks, too. 
Bronze Volks, of any style, will make ANY car look VERY good. You could stick them on a Kia and it'd look good.
Once again, congrats!

Thanks Nate, You should stop over and check out all the changes. (house and car)
The wheels are growing on me. I don't like them yet.
But I usually find that I like things better in the long run if I don't like them right away, if that makes sense.

Volk did mine at +43 but i figured they knew best, so I went ahead and got them. fits perfect.
But how wide are they? My SSRs are +42 and fit perfect but are also only 7" wide.
