The rears will extend an extra 47mm past stock wheels. Stock wheels need 25mm-30mm spacers in the rear to sit flush on the fender. This will go way past
Jeebus..... c'mon people, someone asks a reasonable - however FAQ-like it is - they don't deserve to be flamed for not knowing.... EVERYONE started there at some point.

OP (and everyone else) - let's stop the EBay bashing a minute and consider a couple of facts:
EBay is the marketplace - NOT the manufacturer. As such, one can buy Volk, Weds, SSR, Nismo, etc wheels (known quality) there. You can also buy middle of the road wheels that are perfectly fine for street driving.
And you can buy crap.
The key is to do the research on the wheels you want OFF of EBay and just use them as a fulfillment center if you find a set you like and have already vetted them through independent research.
Replica wheels have a place in the market. There are probably MORE people who won't be tracking their cars or even really pushing them hard enough to do anything terrible to 'em. For them, the price point and the look for a street cruiser is more important. Nothing wrong with that (so long as they don't bend on the first curb strike while parking or won't balance with a 12 inch strip of wheel weights).
That said, however, IF you are going to buy replica wheels - which by the way, aren't THAT cheap - at least buy the "name brand" reps, of which Varrstoen is one of the more ubiquitous. Note I didn't use the words "high quality" because I really don't know, no personal experience. But they're one of the most frequently mentioned companies making them and apparently in use.
Hint: do NOT use the search function on this site - it's crap as it ONLY points to threads in which the search term is used and as you can easily see, threads go hundreds of msgs deep. Gag.....
To search this site more effectively and with greater precision, use Google appending your query with " site: ", e.g. " Varrstoen wheels site:my350z.com " and you'll get more accurate results from this site only.
these use the lowest form of casting possible, not to mention the material quality is in question. with that said, plenty are using them with no problem, however, plenty uses expired condom also. all it takes is ONE opps and you wouldve wish you went with the better quality wheels.
for 1000, i would rather with some 18x9 gramlights, enkeis, konig, axis wheels. imo varrstoen and rotas are garbage for the price. while other company are making MUCH better wheels than these company are. the only theyre still in business is because they offer agressive sizes and steal designs.
So I want a meaty aggressive fitment on my 350z. I want Varrstoen es1's the offsets offered are +12 or + 22. I want to have a real deep dish in the rear and not so deep in the front to notice the difference so is 22 in the front and 12 in rear okay? With
• 245 40 19 (Front) 9.5 + 22
• 275-295 (35 or 40 ) 19 [Rear] 10.5 + 12
???
NO BASHING NEED HELP I am on BC BR coils
Because varrstoen is a knock off company there offsets vs lip depth is nil. So the +12 and +22 are the same lip size if theyre same width. Now if you went 9.5 +12 front and 10.5 rear +12 youll notice the lip difference. As far as tires if you want meaty you want 275 35 19 and 295 35 19 or even 305 30 rear.
The tire size you listed is in the normal average range not meaty.
And a 40 series is too tall with the 19s or even 18s with wider tires. Beware if you have brembos +22 wont clear with some varrstoen application.
I have the es6 and they are +22 and are about flush at my ride height.
My specs are 19x9.5 22 255 35 19 front
Rear is 19x11 25 285 35 19 and considered average not Meaty. Step up to 275 front and 305 rear to have the meats.

Yes so I was thinking of doing the +22 to the front (9.5) and + 12 for the rear. But I have regular breaks but if brembos have clearance issues I rather stray away from that. So +12 both sizes won't do a difference? I want the rear lip to be nice and deep 4" and the front like 2-3"

Stick with the +22 up front and +12 rear, doesn't look like you have Brembos so that'll be fine. Put some 305/30s on the rear doe.
You sure? 🤓🤓🤓 I'm excited gonna order tonight. I'll post pics of them babies installed so how thick should the fronts be? 245 or 255? I like an aggressive stance it's what I'm pursuing not that stretch tire ****. Well maybe a little stretch lol lets see if anyone can post below how meaty 305s are and 275 are I'm at work so can't really google them
I have had 19s and ran a 9.5 up front and a 10.5 rear on both sets. One set was +0 offset and they were SUPER poked out all around. I had 245/35 F and 275/35rear. Then I got +17F and +18R and 255/35 & 275/35.
Now I run 275/35/18s square on my 18x10.5 +15s with a 15mm spacer in the rear.
In my opinion I would go 9.5 +22 front and 10.5 +12 rear with 255/35 and 275/35s in the rear. 305s are unnecessary for an NA Z.

my 2 cents.
and, pix of my set ups for fun
I want no spacers at all. I want it flush and sitting nice I want like a aggressive stance. Nothing too low that I destroy the car I already rolled the rears so I'm thinking s nice set up
