Hello everyone, I am looking to buy a pair of Varrstoen ES2 19x.9.5 +12, two front rims. What will the fitment be like on my 350 and what concerns should I have buying these rims?What does the plus 12 mean and why does it matter that some buy their rims with +22 or +12 for example. Pls help me out here thank you!
So I bought some 15mm Ichiba spacers with built in studs, my plans is to cut the eom studs mount the spacers and the mount my varrstoen es3 but it seems like my wheels don't have that built in gap for the eom studs to go into, idk if I make any sense but even if I cut the eom studs it seems like it would hit the hub of the wheel....what should I do? I'm not getting extended studs by I already spent a lot of time and money to find the right spacers I wanted w the built in studs, thanks in advance
Hello guys. I plan on buying the varrstoen es6 front 18x9.5 +22 and rear 18x10.5 +22. First will these offsets work? Second, I am looking to stretch tires. I don't want a crazy aggressive stretch but a moderate stretch which leaves me room for a proper drop on some coils. Could you tell me the proper sizes for front and rear? Thank you all very much! I also would not like to rub! Is this possible?

You don't need to stretch your tires because you're not running aggressive offsets. Get the recommended tire size. To NEED a stretch on 18's, with those widths, not only would your offset have to be LOW single digits, but your suspension would have to be turned ALLL the way down. You need to be about 4 inches down from stock. At that height, your exhaust will scrape if it's stock (and completely be fubar if it's not). You'll also need to pull your fenders front and rear.

Just for low reference:
Good luck. Those are 18's btw
But I do plan on dropping it lower than stock height. Are you sure I don't need stretch at all?
And do these offsets seem right? I have a choice between +15 and +22 for the rear and +12 and +22 for the front. Opinion on which offset?
A good way to see different wheels, offsets, and tire sizes is looking through the threads in this section. The Enkei thread has lots of information and good pictures.
When selecting wheel size and offset, here are some things you need to consider:
How much will you drop your car?
Are you willing to roll the rear fenders?
Do you plan additional suspension components to provide extended adjustments?
The Sticky Threads in the “Brakes and Suspension” section provide the information you are requesting, and “are required reading” if you plan dropping your car.
ok guys I'm trying to get some new shoes for my car, first of all I'm new to the forum.. ok so I'm looking at the varrstoen es2 18x9.5F and 18x10.5R +20 offset
and the tires I'm want are the nitto nt05 265-35 front and 295-35 rear would it rub? need to roll fenders? need a little help! thanks guys.
ThatBrownGuy: lower than stock is WAY different than 1.4inches from the ground. Trust me. You don't NEED to stretch tires on ANY setup Varrs offers. If you do stretch, it's because you forced it. My rears are 18x12 -2...hence the stretch. My fronts are 18x9.5 -5ish(effective)...hence the stretch.
Lar....floridaguy: you won't need to do anything other than install your stuff.
