Varrstoen ES2 fitment
 
Looking for a set of DD wheels that I can share between my GS and my LS430. Anybody ever test fit or actually running a set of 19x9.5 +22 or +12 ES2 (TE37 reps) up front?. I know both offsets will be no problem clearing on my GS, but was wondering if anybody knew for sure if the +22 would clear LS430 brakes, or if I'd have to go with the +12. Not really looking to do any crazy fender work, but my front fenders are already rolled on both the GS and the LS. Just looking to be able to switch back and forth.......haha, just because.

Considering that stock is around +40 to 45 I think your will have to do fender work with +12. Also, the clearence needed for the front calibers is hard to say. In general, it only seems to be an issue with 18" and below. You may need to test fit.

Thanks for the response. I wish I knew somebody local that had a set that I could throw on to see for myself. I'd prefer the +22 myself, as I want to do as little as possible to get them to work. But, I'm thinking if the LS430 caliper is similar in size to Brembo's most of the online vendors are saying +12. I emailed Varrstoen also, but figured I'd just throw it out if anybody had actually tried the +22. Heck, I'd even be willing to do the +22 if I could clear with a 5mm slip on, as I've got a couple sets of those at home too.

Just in case anybody is interested, or searches for this is the future. Per Tim @ Varrstoen's email, the 19x9.5 +22 will need a 5mm spacer to clear LS430 brakes up front. Or of course, if spacers are not your thing, the 9.5 +12 will work obviously. Hope this helps
