Can't really tell offset from pics... but it looks to be the 18x9.5/10.5 +12/+15 setup.

i had them on my z a few months ago.

Thanks! I just looked on Varrstoen's site and see that the only rear offset sizes are 15, 22, and 30. Could these possibly be a +22 offset? or do you think that would put those to far out? I think you are probably right on the front being +12. I guess once I get them and test fit, I can always get some small spacers if I feel they need to be out a little bit more

Next step is deciding on what Coilovers to go with as well

lower the offset = farther out the wheel sticks.

there's no way to tell what the offset is.. many things other than the offset could affect how far the wheel sticks out.. spacers, alignment specs, etc.

Could be the camber but it doesn't look quite like the +12 18x9.5 front to me, it's a bit sunk. The rears do seem to be the +15, it's quite flush

Yes, The fronts are sunk in a little bit. Which I like for this look. And if my logic is right, that would help prevent rubbing while turning when going lower correct?

Are you thinking the fronts may be the +22 offset? the only other option would be 30.

Thanks a lot Taryon! I meant quarter panels. I don't mind getting them rolled as long as I'm not ripping out my front fender liners cause it rains quite a bit here and I would like them intact. Your Z looks great btw.

Looks pretty clean but I would put 5mm spacers on the back just so it is more flush.

I think is flush enough. Look how much camber hes is using. Hes probably rubing already.

Yeah. 5mm would make it more aggressive but there is nothing wrong with how it sits now. And that ain't a LOT of camber. Maybe -3- -5.

MOST Vars are +12f and +15r when it comes to offset. And, some people will throw on a 15mm spacer but I'd assume this person did not. I'd imagine a 5mm in the rear if any at all. But, the only reason this shouldn't be that hard to figure out is because Vars don't come in a bunch of different offsets AND there is a Vars thread like 3 post away from this and I can GAAAARRRRROOOONTEE that someone has the exact same setup and has specs posted.

If he's 9.5/10.5, the whole set up looks a lot closer to +22 F&R considering it doesn't look like he has crazy camber. BadBlu-Z, check out rimtuck if you want to search specific widths & offsets.

Thanks! Ya He had almost no camber, none in the front if im not mistaken. Which i really liked about this set up. +22 might be right, and if I go that route and decide the rears are too tucked, I can just add spacers I guess.

Just talked to a Varrstoen rep and he believes the offset on the Orange Z pics I posted are +30 in the front and either +22 or +30 in the rear as well.

19x9.5 +12 with 245/35
19x10.5 +15 with 275/35

Only rubs on very tight turns
