Default 10.5 wheel in the front?

yes this is a fitment thread, interested in getting a new set of wheels and my heart is pretty set on the varrstoen es1 wheels, i know im definitely getting 19x11 +15 wheels in the rear but for the fronts im undecided

thinking double staggered, either 18x9.5 in the front of the 18x10.5 in the front. dont know which offset either, either +15 or +25 in the front wheels, if +25 clears the ls400s i might go with the 10.5s

10.5s is a big wheel to clear though. Anyone got pics of 10.5 wheels in the front?

it's not really the offset that clears brakes. it the disc face. high disc face will clear. medium might be close. low disc face won't clear...

Pretty sure I've heard that the 9.5" +12 ES1's will clear the front LS brakes, but +22 won't at 9.5.

I don't know about 10.5" fronts though.

varrstoen wheels change throughout the offset of the wheels. the higher offsets are known not to fit. but you are right, just these wheels are like that.

SGreenwood, please post your wheel and tire specs in the wheel and tire guide sticky if you have a moment. I'm sure ppl would like to review your set up and know what mods you had to achieve to fit these.

I feel that the front fenders clear much more than the rears :\
