Hey all, Im going to buy a set of varrstoen 2.2.2s in the near future and i need help deciding the specs.
Choice 1: 19x9.5+22(225/40) 19x10.5+22(275/35)
Choice 2: maybe 18" with same specs
Choice 3: 18x9.5 +12 225/40 18x10.5 +15 245/40.
Choice 4: staggered 18x9.5+whatever and 19x10.5+whaterver

any help is appreciated. I also just recieved an email from them saying that only +12 is available for the moment. With a +12 at the widths above will i need a fender pull? My fenders are already rolled.

BTW...pretty much every car I've seen on here is sick! Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
If you're not lowered you should be able to run a 245/30 up front and a 275 or 285/30 out back.

Anything wider than stock with a +12 offset will need a significant pull. Are you lowered ? You might want to wait until they have more offset choices.

Thanks for the reply. I've noticed some people on here running 245/35 up front and 275/30 in the rear. Would this be a good idea for me if I'm going to be running 20s? I want the side walls to be about the same.

The rears will be 1/4 to 1/2 an inch shorter than the front.

Thats good that you have some adjustment to your ride height but unless you don't mind some negative camber +12 is pretty aggressive.

Could I go with 35/20s all around? I'm a little worried about the 30s. I would prefer a little more sidewall if possible.

335's? that's overkill for a 10" width and no stock body supras can fit 335's on top of that +20 offset will poke a little, you will need to run a minor stretch for it to fit the fender properly. With 18x10 +20 your options are limited with tires.

Unless you have a widebody that will require too much negative camber, stretched tires and will look stupid but that's just my opinion.
