Varrstoen Wheels Thread
I know this is an old post but after having read this and several other threads today with this word being used to described replica wheels (especially these) and body kits, i felt the need to point something out. The word Poser being used in the context that it is here. A lot of authentic pieces that are sold and put one these cars are race inspired and the intentions of their use would be for the track, if im not mistaken. So to me, the real posers would be the ones who are purchasing these "authentic" parts and never setting any rubber on the track. The guys who are actually buying the replica's, more times than not, are using these for their DD's. I admit, i fell into the world of "gotta have the real thing" however after having driven my DD ZR on the roads of Houston Texas found out that those 4K wheels and tires were taking a beating and my beautiful wheels that i payed so much for were starting to look worse than the wheels i replaced them with (OEM). Not much of a positive investment. The authentic wheels made are either made for the sporadic driving events or for show. Im by no means downing the guys who want to buy authentic pieces and not tracking their cars, but on the other hand, dont down the guys that arent. Are we forgetting that our cars were no longer in production since 2008 and that the older they get, they can no longer be considered 30-35K sports cars, but merely used 18-25K (and steadily depreciating), almost the same price as a new Nissan Cube or Altima. It just seems everyone has lost their prospective.
Yup. If you notice, it's always that "BumpinJeep" guy that posts all the ****. Lol, he's probably raging that he paid $4,000+ for his setup and people are getting same look for 1/4th the price. Probably doesn't even track the car. Idk why he hates so much on everything, brand whoring at it's finest.

Varrstoen offset
Im looking at purchasing some varrstoen rims, ive heard good and things about them but was looking at getting the 19/10.5 with 12 offset and is that a good flush fitment im willing to roll the fenders or they have the +22 offset in well im thinking about putting a 275 on the rear and if too big what about 18/10.5 all i see in the 18 is a +0 offset though just dont wanna get wheels in and they stick out too much and i dont wanna pull the fenders just roll and flush thnks
Really? So with a 255/285 tire size you have to run it with a +22 offset?? You cant have a 255/35/19-285/35/19 with a +12 all the way around with 19X9.5/19X10.5???
Edit: and lowered on Eibach sportline springs

Im sure theres a way. There are people on here with way crazier numbers. Right now I'm running 19x9.5/10.5 with a 255/35/19 Front 295/30/19 Rear and rolled fenders and no rubbing what so ever. the offsets are +17 front and + 12 rear

PS: discount had to order my tires factory direct(KDW's), and be prepared for a bit of a shock on tire cost. The low cost of the wheels makes it even more absurd

There had better be a way, cuz that's that's exactly what I'm going to be running. I'm getting my tires mounted next week. Then I'm droping on eibach springs, and rolling fenders. If your curious I've got varrstoens too

FRONT: 255/35/19 19X9.5 +12
REAR: 285/35/19 19X10.5 +12
With Rolled Fenders (front and rear if necessary) sitting on Eibach Sportline Springs with new Upper Control Arms and Rear Camber Arms, It would not work/have rubbing issues?????
edit: i have plenty of room in the front, and you'd be -5 from where I am so i think that that'll do just fine.

fronts are already rolled from the factory, shouldnt have a problem there. I dont see a problem with the set up you want. It'll be aggressive and it'll look dead sexy. Go for it

unsure with your drop, but heres a rundown:
Please remember that one car will NEVER be the same as the next even with exact same suspension and wheel tire combo. The below information is a SUGGESTION and not set in stone. THERE ARE ALWAYS VARIABLES when it comes to wheel/tire/suspension/alignment combinations
+0 OFFSET
you will need to run stretched tires, roll fenders aggressively, and run a higher neg camber.
+12 OFFSET
ideally people want to run 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 for a slight "BEEFY" look. But with the 255/35's in the front SOME people are seeing rubbing issues with the wheel well liner. 245/35's have far less issues and have about the same sidewall height. 285/35's are nice and slightly BEEFY, but will MOST LIKELY require fender rolling. Some have gotten away without rolling fenders on 285/35's, but it really depends on your ride height and camber. For those that want a slightly thinner side wall, 295/35's and 275/35's are ideal. Expect to run a camber between -2.25 to -2.75 degrees
+22 OFFSET
can run just about any popular tire size combination. Camber SHOULD be within factory specs. And fender rolling MAY NOT be necessary
