Does anyone know if the standard 350Z lugnuts fit the Varrstoen ES221 wheel? I did a search but nothing came up. Also I found chromed Z logo center caps from CourtesyParts. I'm not sure if these fit the ES221 wheel.

The Z logo wheel center cap fropm CourtesyParts is 2" in dia and the back side of the cap with the clips is 1/7/8" dia. I wonder if this will fit a Varrstoen ES221 wheel.

Any recommendations for locking lug nuts for the Varrstoen ES221 wheels?

Mxp lug nuts work perfect. They have 30 different locking patterns so its hard for someone to figure it out.

which one is better to go with 245/35/f19 or 255/35/f19? I'm lower with fender roll. Offset +12 around. For the rear is my final decision 285/35/r19.

If i had to redue mine, `245-35f` i would go 245-40 or the 255-35. Not enough tire between the rim and the ground. Makes it scary to to get curb rash on small sh**

I don't want to uneven it when looking at the z sitting on it. 40 in the front and 35 in the rear will look uneven. I like to stick with 35. But you think 255 is the way to got with 285 in the back?

I like the color of your wheels. Is the color mirror silver? Are the lug nuts from Varrstoen as well?

I plan on getting some soon and from what I can tell, I`ll be getting either 5-10mm spacers and rolling and doing a slight pull on both front and back.

But here is a few pics. I`ll get more when it clears up here in northern cali.

Specs:
19x9.5/10.5+12
245/35-275/35
Stock suspension


I like the color of your wheels. Are they Mirror Silver? Are you usnig Varrstoen's lug nuts?

Its all up to you man, anything less then 275, your running slightly stretched, any more then 285, your running in `fat tire`. I`d go with the 285r if you like a mix of fat/streched

ZROCM:
These are hyper black, but be careful, IMO there paint on these are poor although they said `i was wrong` the quailty is perfect. HA. I guess every wheel they make is perfect and wont fix them by reshooting them, talk about not standing by your product and terrible customer service.

Anybody having problems running 255/35/19 in front with +12. I plan to go 255/35 and 275/35 with some Tein S-Techs. One member said they worked fine. Was wondering if anyone else went with 255/275 35 combination with 9.5 and 10.5 rear because i heard it may rub in front. Thanks

Has anyone ordered their wheels from apsec wheels on eBay? They are offering a "make an offer". If you offer anything over 950 they will accept.

I have a set of 18x9.5 +22 Varrsteon wheels on order. My suspension is currently stock. I plan on running 275/40/18 in the rear and 255/40/18 in the front. I assume I'm OK running 255 in the front with no issues. Can anyone confirm this. Thanks in advance for any help.
