Need help deciding on wheels.
Long story short my wheels were ruined by the tire shop while trying to mount the tires. They reimbursed me for the wheels and now im on the hunt for new wheels again.
Old Wheels & tires:
19 x 10.5 +30 R
19 x 9.5 +30 F
275/30/19 R
235/35/19 F
The old wheels did not clear my front brakes. I had made a thread regarding the issue and was informed that i needed a high disc wheels. Now that i have an option to do it all over again, i would like to avoid spacers. I understand that extended studs maybe required but no spacers if at all possible. I am keeping my tires since their brand new.
Im open to any and all opinions. I just cant figure out what color wheel would go well with GFM.
Currently lowered on BC Coils with 1 finger gap riding my stockies.
Your input is appreciated.

ok well i had the varrstoen es 2.2.2. i would deffinitely buy them again but the front brakes didnt clear. Ive been informed of getting them in a +12 offset which is extremely aggressive. Has to be a high disc wheel.
More research shows that 19x9.5 +22 will clear the is350 brakes but thats extremely aggressive. it will definitely require fender tab relocation along with roll/pull. As it sits only my rears are rolled pulled.
i looked into vossens but i couldnt get my head around it. I like the varrstoen for the design factor.
Maybe a silver wheel, 5 spoke, im looking for close to flush.

Do you want deep dish wheels? Step lip? Concave?
Sounds like you want something aggressive so I would maybe look into Work Vs-XX or Volk TE37s?
Vossen doesnt make fitments that aggressive (at least not for our cars) and you said you dont want to run spacers.
I know that k3projekt makes a nice 5 spoke and is aggressive

Once again thank your for your help.
