Thumbs up Wheel help ! Varrstoen !

Hey guys, been quite the while since ive been on here. Anyways ill just be quick, need some advice on my ISF and wheels, im really diggin the Varrstoen E6s. My car is still stock with the stock springs and stuff. So what offsets would you guys suggest and tires if i was considering going 19X9.5 and 19X11, or if i should go down a size to 18s, also im worried about rubbing so if you guys can give their opinion. If someone can gimme some info or anything wheel clearance and all would be greatly appreciated !

Cheers

lol if you're going anywhere below 30 offset then you're going to have a bad time.

Unless you run skinny tires/a lot of camber

your choice.

There will have to be some kind of compromise. There are some great wheels out there with low offsets that don't particularly cater to what the IS F fender wells can safely accommodate. It all comes down to what you want to do with your ride. But to get a great set of wheels and not have to touch your camber, the general consensus would be high 30s (front) and 40s (rear). I'm not a fan of running skinnier tires, as this is a performance-oriented car after all. But we all know that there are some nice Fs that are more for show than go, and that's a decision each owner has to make.

I have the SAME wheel size on my Varrstoen ES112. The rear wheels would stick out 2 inches further out compared to the stock wheels. I want my F to be functional so the wheels are just sitting in the garage (for sale BTW... : P).

19X9.5 +30 should work. I'm running +22

19X11 that will be a challenge in the offered offsets. I have 19X10 +35 and I had to roll my fenders.
