Default IS250 AWD + Varrstoen ES2 question

Hi guys,

Was wondering if someone can help me out here! I have a 2007 AWD and really would love to get the Varrstoen ES2 19 x 9.5 +22. I was wondering what kind of tire one might get with this? I just got the megan coilovers also, so I'll be lowering the car at some point after I get these wheels. So I was wondering if I would be able to lower it to within just a finger gap without any rubbing/fender mods.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

With the low offset your gonna run Fender mod is gonna happen. If you don't want to go with a higher offset or get something that will fit. Other prepare to put in a little work. Or don't lower o 1 finger gap but then it won't look rite since the wheel will stick out pass the fender.

8.5 in the front 9.5 in the rear ,offsets around +35 to +38. You could probably push a 10 in the rear with a slight stretch. Or a little wider in the front with a slight stretch and fender liner mod , and maybe relocate bumper tabs.

The rear can go taller at a 265/35r19 if you desire a beefier sidewall. And still shouldn’t have issues.

Depends on the width you’re running.
