varrstoen offset
Ive searched alot of threads but couldnt find the right informantion. Id like to purchase the Varrstoen ES 1.1.2 here is the offsets they offer in 19's I have no idea what offset to go with....
Front:
19×9.5 +22
19×9.5 +12
19×9.5 +0
Rear:
19×10.5 +22
19×10.5 +12
19×10.5 +0
to further help you guys help me, Id like to have a moderate drop. Basically to get rid of some of the gap. Most importantly Id like for it to ride as close to stock as possible. I hate to drop alot of $ for my car to ride like a go cart. Ive looked at these current springs:
Tein S Tech
Tein H Tech
HnR
Im not against coilovers, and it seems like these would be the better buy. Id come no where close to slamming the car but Id like the adjustability and looks like these are my choices:
BCR racing
Megan LP
Megan EZ
My goal is to get rid of most of the fender gap and not have to roll my fenders, modify the inner plastic fender or tab. With that being said, I have no idea what tire size would be ideal to use
or what offset would be used for a moderate drop for no rubbing or fender mods. Sorry for the long post...

I don't know the for sure answer to that. I would guess not bc our cars sit very high stock.
But even if the tires would clear, I would highly recommend you not do it. It would look terrible and very ghetto to have such aggressive wheels on stock ride height.
If I were in your shoes, I would get coil overs and get spacers for the stock wheels. A dropped car on stock wheels looks LIGHT YEARS better then stock ride height and after market wheels.

What would be ideal sizing spacers for stock wheels? I have stock 18's. Is it possible to have 19's with a diff offset than the ones I listed with a slight drop? I hate asking these questions but I have no idea WTF im doing when it comes to offset and tire sizes. Id hate to modify the fenders and such.

and yes, it is possible to have 19's w/ different offsets than the ones you listed.
however, the wheel specs you listed in the first post will look odd at stock ride height, and will not work at all without modified fenders at a lowered ride height.
also, offset = distance between centerline of the wheel and the inside mounting face ("pad") of the wheel, typically measured in millimeters.
the lower the offset, the closer the pad is to the centerline. as the offset decreases, the wheels will be pushed farther out from the car. the higher the offset, the farther the pad is from the centerline. as the offset increases, this will push the wheels farther in to the car.

I appreciate the info, Ive reading the thread with all the offset questions and Ive gone through 70+ pages so far. I like the style of that rim, just wished it had more optional offsets. Maybe I should just stay with 18's.

I do like the Linea corse Lemans, just wish the center (mesh) was a bit darker silver. If I decided to go with a 19inch rim, would a +35 be a safe offset? that is with a little drop. Id go with coils, to get the proper, lowest drop without having to mod the fenders. I dont want the damn struts banging on the fenders or anything. This isnt my daily driver but Id still want it to ride good.
+30-something on how wide of a wheel?
and what size tires would you preferably like to run: narrowest tires possible to make the wheels fit, typical +1 tire sizing, or the meatiest tires you can stuff under the fenders?
