Default Varrstoen ES1

Anyone recommend this fitment with Tokico + H&R sports setup?

Varrstoen Es 1 - 19x9.5 F+12, 19x11 R+15

Would 9.5's all around look better?

Want a flush tucked look.

Have '06 IS250 RWD.

Appreciate feedback!

This are my es2s and im only +22 offset all around 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the rear... So with those offsets you are looking at some extremely aggressive wheels and a lot of work to avoid rubbing im still working on my front fenders to stop the rubbing... But also depending on your tires just from me dont go bigger than 225/35 up front i regret going to 235 cause im rubbing all over the place hence why im doing a lot of cutting this weekend... The wheels are sick but for just a flush tucked in look you could do +30 or +25 and +22 would be like mine hopefully this helps you bro but nice wheels and I love Varrstoen

if you want a tucked look, then those specs are too aggressive. you will need a grip of pull, stretch, and camber to get that to work, and even then barely

Nice ride, more or else what I am trying to achieve. Appreciate advice, have no clue about effects of different offsets. Don't mind rolling fendings, just can't see myself tolerating lots of rubbing as a daily driver. With the offsets I mentioned, when you say aggressive, your mean what has to be done in order to have a smooth ride? Sorry, new to this. Thanks again

Thanks for the feedback. Ya, trying to avoid doing that... Is it the offsets that's making it tough or the rim size or type of rim in your opinion?

I have the same wheels but in 19x9.5+22 and 19x11+25. So that setup would be 10mm wider and let me say it has been no walk in the park fitting the setup I have. I have camber arms, rolled and pulled fenders, shaved fender liners and relocated bumper bolts and I still rub. So to sum it up if you don't want to rub I would say do something a little less aggressive (not such a low offset and wide wheel) when I had the es2's it was 19x9.5+30 and 19x10.5+30 and that was a much more managable set up.

I agree with static, if you went with a +30 your wheel will not stick out as much making it easier to fit, with +22 they stick out as far as mine do and therefore you need a lot of fender work I had to roll my rear fenders and now looking for some camber arms to pull them in a lil more and stop rubbing in the back... For the front to avoid all rubbing just pulling the whole fender liner off and cutting off bumper tabs and replacing with Password JDM bumper fastners... Its all duable just gotta find someone that will roll your fenders, then remove your fender liners and IMO spray some truck bed liner in there to protect the metal from the elements, I will be cutting mine out but leave enough to provide some protection for my fog lights, I also live in Tucson so I can get away with no liner... If I were you I would not go any lower than +22 on your wheels and just dont go as low, like my ride see how all I did was get rid of the gap but not tucking or anything and the front just gonna drop maybe 1/8 more to make it look nicer and still DD functional

i had 19x9.5/10.5 22 all around. the front needs roll flat and deleted the bumper tabs and i still rubbed and rears are rolled flat and pulled. i was about an .5 to one inch lower then dannyboy26. it looked nice, but i heard rubbing everyday.

So my guess you were tucking in the front? I still have about a 1/4 gap in front so will go a little lower upfront if I rub may end up doing some
Camber up front too but im not rolled upfront just removing fender liner and bumper tabs

Too aggressive for a daily in my opinion.

^^ agreed.

I have 19x9.5/10.5 +22 and it's a little bit aggressive for a daily. I did a lot of fender work so I don't really rub at all unless I go through a dip to fast or take driveways incorrectly. But then again, the roads here in Irvine are nearly flawless haha. But yeah anything less than a +22 offset and lowered seems too aggressive for a daily

i think it can be done..i've seen 19x9.5+8 f and 19.10.5 -4 r. Henry is running 19x9.5 +12 f and 19x11 0 r. Although im not 100% sure those cars are daily driven. Possibly though bc they both are on air bags.

its the offset basically, thats it. now if you wanted a clean, tucked look and still be able to go low, i would look in the higher end of the +20's offset, lower end of the +30's offsets. thats about perfect on these cars.

anything south of +25 whether it be 9/10, 9.5/10.5, 10/11.... its going to take work but can be done. if youre not willing to pull, stretch, camber then i would stick in the +30's offset and let a nice pull and natural camber handle the rest
