Default Anyone test fit Varrstoen's on our cars (calipers)?

Hey guys,

I have the stock 17's right now and debating on the 18" sport wheels or going the Varrstoen (BBS rep) ES wheels. Either the 19 or the new 20's they make. I'd stay stock on the 18's and probably Tanabe springs if I went the 19-20" route Varrstoen's. We have no local shops that carry them so hoping a So Cal member has tried them on and what BS you have. Looking that the +25 or +35? Not too aggressive. This is going on a Mystic Gold Metallic so color options are limited! LOL

Worst case scenario, run some 5mm spacers to clear the brakes.

If you love the wheels, don't let fitment hold you back lol.

You'll most likely have to run at least a 10mm-15mm spacer.

I know when I had Pm'd Navith a while back about the ES 1.1.2's (9.5 +22 10.5 +22), he told me they wouldn't clear LS400 brakes on my 2GS. He mentioned that the +12's probably would though. Not sure how the LS400 calipers differ from the 430's though.
