Default Volk GT-7's

I have a would this fit question, I'm looking at a set of volks locally but they came off a G35 and I'm not sure if they'll fit, the offset seems pretty low...

This is what is for sale:
Front:
19”x9.5”
+30mm
Toyo Proxes T1-R 245/35/19 @ 85%

Rear:
19”x10.5”
+24mm
Toyo Proxes T1-R 275/35/19 @ 80%

Will these fit without any rubbing if I'm lowered about 1.5"?

Thanks for your input!

those would fit BUT

you have to change the tires. either 215 or 225 in front and 235 or 245 in the rear.

this will not happen forever, even with major fender mods, you will still have hard time to fit the front set-up unless you wanna run 215 tires, but noway the rubbing will be completely gone, not in this planet

9.5 in the front? Ouch.

I'm running GT-7s on my car. Here are my specs (no rubbing on coilovers, mild drop, neutral damping):

F: 19 x 8.5, +36, 235/35-19
R: 19 x 9.5, +36, 265/30-19

Come on guys, these will fit with a roll up front and a cut in the rear.

I ran a 9.5 + 34mm with a 235/35 and NEVER rubbed in the front while I was tucking tire.
I'm on a 10.5 +22mm in the rear now. I'm tucking tire rolling on a 265/30. And I only rub on huge dips at 70+ MPH. And its not a bad rub.

Thanks for all the feedback - I guess the consensus is that I'll have to do some major fender rolling/cutting to make it fit.... hmmm, not sure if I'm that committed to this cause

itll fit with no problem. Just roll your fenders. No MAJOR fender work really. Id say get smaller tires in the front too. But why not get em if its a good deal. Rolling or cutting fenders is hardly considered being "committed".
