HELLO! Okay, so I just realized you wanted 19's. Unfortunately mine are 18's but they have the same offset and width so you can use this to get a general idea of how it'll be on your car. Anyway, like I said, I'm on stock suspension (will be switching to tein s tech in the future) and my rear fenders are rolled. If my car was lowered without the rolled fenders, it would definitely rub.. a lot. My tire set up is 295/35R and 275/35F. Lastly, my front fenders are not rolled. You probably will need to roll yours with bigger wheels and a drop in suspension. Hope this helps. Sorry I didn't have the exact sized wheels.

Thank you very much for taking your time to take all these pics! But yea I was looking for 19 and preferably 275/245 or 275/255 combo. Thank you nonetheless tho !

 

I'm running ES3s at 19x9.5 +12 255/35 fronts and 19x10.5 +12 275/35 rears.
Stock suspension, stock height, fenders not rolled and no rub what so ever.
If you lower anything you'll have to roll both.

Great thank you! Looks like I will be going with +22 all around and 275/255

 

Hey guys i just got my Varrstoen es2 9.5/10.5 +12 offset with 245/275-35 tires

Although i'm still experiencing rubbing in the front and rears, i have my rears rolled and im on BC racing coilovers...I don't really think i'm that slammed.
Wondering if anyone has any tips or recommendations on what to change or adjust.



I'm thinking i need to adjust my coilovers to be more stiff but don't really know too much about it and or if it will help!

Any help would be awesome, cheers!

 

A lot of factory. First, damper setting on your coilovers are not there to adjust cause you are rubbing. It's kinda a slight band aide to do that, like using the smallest band aide available for a large wound.m

Rears should not rub with a proper roll, if you are rubbing , you probably just need a hair more camber.

Front, here is where most problems happen. Are you rubbing the fender lip (camber problem ) of upper fender well screwed up coilover install)

 

Right, I'm pretty sure it's rubbing on the fender lip. With that being said the front arms aren't adjustable as far as i know. So would the only solution be aftermarket front arms or raise it a bit?

 

Get front camber arms and add a hair of camber

 

Got my ES2 wheels couple weeks ago and past weekend dropped it on Tein S-tech with about 0.4 inch of the mount cut. Just wanted to share as this forum helped me alot during my process of figuring out what wheels and suspension to go with. Car is all dirty and still need to mount lip spoiler.

 

Are these es2's hyper black?

 

So I'm planning on ordering wheels Friday but I'm caught on what to do. When I bought my car I was told it was lowered and tuned, the guy didn't know any specs other then that. Atm it has oem 17" 7 spoke wheels. I plan on ordering varrstoen es6 18x9.5 / 10.5, or 19s in the same size. I'm caught between +22 offset or +15. I would like a somewhat beefy tire because roads here can be very bad. Any pictures or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

 

Get the +22 offset versions if you want a "beefy" tire.
+15 will probably poke and require a flush or slightly stretched tire to fit if you're lowered. Roll your fenders for peace of mind if it isn't done yet.

 

I was also caught between ES1 or ES5s in +22 or +12 offset. After reading every single post on this thread I decided to go with the +22 and see how everything looks after my drop on tenable gf210s are settled and I get an alignment. If I have a little more room to extend the wheels out more I will put on my 5mm spacers, effectively giving me a +17mm offset which is right in the middle...perfect for me. I already have those spacers on my +25 offset wheels now taking it to +20.

Good thing about 5mm spacers is you don't have to run extended wheel lugs. Its not a lot of difference but it can give you just a little more flushness...

 

Do you have any pictures of the +22?

 

What size tires are you running? 9.5 rims all around? I have es6 18x9.5, 10.5 et22, that are sitting in boxes in my front entry! Very caught between what brand of tires and size. Guessing stock suspension?

 

Thought I'd post this for the hell of it, threw my new rims on with 1" spacers while I figure out what to do for tires. 18x9.5 et22 1" spacer. Will not be running the spacers, but stance will make her dance right?

 

I searched and couldnt find anything, but I have been running 18x10.5 +22 square with 275/35r18 on the 06+ brakes with out issues. I do have a 3mm spacer in the front just to help add some deflection room.

I just switched to Brembos, and the fronts no longer fit. Looks like I will need atleast a 8mm spacer to get them to clear the brembos. Theres less than a half inch of poke now, but I'm bummed about adding another 1/3 of an inch of poke in the front.

Does anyone know if the second generation ES1s in a +22 will fit over brembos? I have heard that they will.

TL;DR
Early ES1's that are +22 will not fit over front Brembos.

 

Just run a 10mm spacer, that puts you at +12, very close to the 10.5 +15 fronts that plenty of us run on the track.

 

I listed them for sale and a guy ended up offering 1300$ for them...

So they are sold and Ill buy some that can clear brembos and not play fender tag.

 

I have a set of varrstoen es2 19 x 9.5 front and 19 x 10.5 rear offset of 12. Tire size 245-35-19 and 275-35-19. I am rubbing when ever going over unlevel road or over a bump more so on the back but also the front. Front is rolled. Need the rear rolled. But it seems<br/>like these wheels are way too wide even if i roll the wheel it will still get in contact with the fender? Any suggestion? adjust the camber ? I am on hotchkis springs.
