if i were to get Volk GT-C these are the fitments i would go with. 19x8.5 +30 Face II and 19x9.5 +37 Face II. with the +30 you will have a 55mm lip (a little over a 2 inch lip) and the +37 will give you a 61mm lip (about a 2.5 inch lip). depending on what suspension you go with and how low you go, you'll probably need minor fender modification.
