so I may be able to find my answers in this thread eventually, Ive spent the last 3 days reading from the begining, i'm currently on page 47.

I got some typical questions..
I'm ready to order some Varianza t1S I just want to make sure I pick the correct offset that I will be happy with, with such a big purchase. Just want to do it right the first time!
I want it flush as i can get with out rubbing, and making sure they will fit over my stock brakes.

I believe I want 19x8.5 +26 on 225/35 19x9.5 +30 on 245/35 just based on the pics that i have come across in this thread. But i have never seen that offset in person. Would like some opinions on this offset. would you change one or the other? with they both be flush with this offset?
Also is +26, and +30 even noticeably different than say +36 and +40 since there is only one cm difference?
and last with this offset require fender rolling? thanks!

First off, I think t1s are discontinued man. :/

And second, I have 19x8.5 +27 and 19x10+29 and the rear is very flush and pokes out barely, front could be a tad more aggressive but I've done no fender mods. So your offsets are pretty close to what you're looking for!

And the 10mm difference would really only be noticeable lip wise if it was next to the weaker offset rim, but there's a major difference as far as fender mods needed. But if you're worried about lip size, it's what, 0.4" bigger. What's more important your lip size or fender mods?

appreciate the help! My heart sank when i read the t1s are discontinued!! I just sent off a few pm's to Work vendors for price quote. I'll **** myself if they are no longer available!! this is the only wheel i wants! been wanting it since '08. and finally have the cash. T

hat's not like me to wait either, I'm usually a very impulsive buyer, and the day i saw them for the first time I almost ordered them, and made myself hold off in case i saw anything else that catches my eye.
urghh stupid!

What mod's will i need to fit 19x8.5 +20 and 19x9.5+20 on an IS250?
The cars very low pretty much maxed out on Megan LP Coilovers.
I don't want a camber kit
Also what tire sizes would you recommend?

Oh ...no worries. I was just trying to clarify whose specs belong to who.

So I believe I need to run more - camber, so I am wondering what I should do. Figs toe links and megan camber arms....or figs toe link and mega arm? I need to bring the top in for clearance. What set up should I go with?
