keep in mind, you said you wanted to to be flush. +22 is not sunken in but it's not really considered that flush either. I would prefer the +12 look if it were me. For example, the first pic is +22 and the second pic is +12.

did you have to roll your fenders or anything? i cant tell if yours is lowered or not. i am lowered, would i have to roll my fenders if i went with the +12 offset?

I'm not sure as that is not my car. I'm sure there are other guys here that have the same setup so they could help. I'm pretty sure you'd have to roll though but tire size does come into play.
I'd go with the +12 setup. The +22 is not technically "flush" and I bet you will be wishing you went with the more aggressive wheel if you get the +22. Just speaking from experience.

Yeah, I've actually changed my mind and told myself I'm gonna go with the +12 as well most likely. A couple questions though:
1) will I have to roll my fenders with the +12 setup
I don't have VarrsToen's but have 19 x 9.5/10.5 +12 and my fenders are rolled. You might as well roll them now. Trust me, the last thing you want to hear is while going up a driveway, your tires rubbing hard against your fenders.
Alright sweet.
Can you explain what rolling your fender exactly is? And how to do it? (sry I'm a newb)
And is "stretched" necessarily a bad thing?
There is a tool people use that heats up the fender and then then they bend (or should I say roll....) the "lip" part back. I've never done it but many people here have. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find a thread on it. As for stretched tires, it's more of a personal preference thing but there is nothing wrong with it (some prefer the look, some don't).
