I need a little advice on this one guys. I been searching but I can't find a concrete answer on this one:



20" XXR 526's

20x9 +15 F
20x11 +15R

What do you think will need to be done to make these fit? I'm going to have coilovers but my drop is only going to be either equal to or a scosche lower than the DF210s. As for tires I was thinking of running 225/35 up front and maybe 255/30 in the rear. Any input?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking into getting a set of Varrstoen 1.1.2's, but their new sizing is wack.

They offer a 19x9.5 in +22 and +12, and a 11 in +25 and +15.

I really want the staggered dish that the 11 will offer, So im opting for a 9.5+22 front and a 11+25 rear. Tyre wise i will try stretch a 245 on the rear and a 225 will fit fine on the front.

With the rear gaurds, what mods will i have to do? I know you speak about "shaving" what does this refer to? how intense will i have to flare the rears? Has anyone on here got any pics of a GS running similar offsets?

Also, car will be low low low.

You're going to need at least a .5 inch pull with stretched tires. Probably more. I have a set of 20x11 (+26) and I think I'll need a very slight pull (few mm's) to clear mines even with a 245/35. Link to my test fit

I have the same rims & run the same size on the fronts with the slight pull but the rears are 10.5 +22 with 255/35 and i rubbed like crazy even with the slight camber. So my suggestion is on 11's you might wanna shave first and camber it a bit to see how you like it since you gonna run 245's anyway..hope this help.

Cool cool, what's the easiest way to get camber out of them? I'm new to toyotas (im used to nissans and adding a set of 200 dollar camber arms to fit wheels) i understand it isnt that easy with these haha. What's the max camber you can get with stock arms? It adjusts from the bottom right?

The lower you go the more camber achieved, There are people in the states making arms, so cost isn't that bad.
