i have fallen in love with these:

http://unleashedwheels.com/varrstoen-es7-18-s-and-19-s.html

ill go with 19s, from talking to the nice guys at unleashed i would need 19x9.5 +12 to clear brembos.

what i want to do is run a 9.5 +22 all around, my question is....how much of a spacer do i need for my brembos?

i ran 99-04 fitment on my 3v and it looked good, but it was at the limit of offset on these cars. i think that was +25 or +30 iirc.

or should i run the 19x11s up front. i get offset but backspacing is where i get lost.

10MM = .39" = 4/9" need 1/2" spacer to clear brembo's. You might want a little bigger in back. I run a 7/8" in front and a 1" in back. That rim is an inch wider than my stock bullit's, so maybe not. When you choose other than reccommended, you just have to mount and see.

Those are going to stick out a shit ton I think. The XXR wheels that people are running are 8.5 and are flush with the fenders in the front and those are 32mm off set, so the wheel will be out an additional 10 mm

for $4K plus why not get CCWs (which these are a knock off) and get a better wheel and a custom fitment?


http://www.ccwheel.com/wheelprofiles-display.php?id=Classic

The ones the OP is looking at are only $1049.

As far as offset goes, FWIW, I ran 20X9" Shelby Razors back in the day on my 07 with the 99-04 offset. I am pretty sure it was 24mm. The wheels were exatcly flush with the fender edge. I had pretty decent tire rub running a 275/35 tire, no spacers. If you go with a 22mm offset and a .5" spacer, the tires are gonna be outside the fender. You may be able to stretch a tire and run aggressive camber, but that's a whole 'nuther can of worms.

If you are dead set on these. I'd run a 19X11" square set up with no spacer.

19x11 square was my idea too. But the vendor says it won't clear brmebos. And our course varrosten will not get back in contact with me.

19x11 will not fit on the front period. Look at something else.

The 9.5 at a +22 without a spacer would stick out a 3/8 to 1/2 depending on what size tire you run.

I've had bad results with 275 tires up front. The stupid studded tire grooves in the freeway grip a wider tire and tramline you all over the road. The widest I go with now are 255.

The closes is the 19x9.5 22mm they will fit with a stretched tire if you're into that.

The best fit would actually be the 18x9.5 ET35. You can run these with 275's or 255's on all four corners. You'll have a small tire poke with the 275's and the 255's will be flush.

Can't stand the multi lug nut hole offset design wheels. Ricer shit.

FYI I had a set of 14" Cragar wheels in 1979 that were unilug and used the offset washers. Didn't like it then and don't like it now.

BTW back then ricer meant a Japanese bike.

NP Bra! :hi: Just checked the Varrstoen site and it looks like they now carry these in 19x9.5 with a 30mm offset. Those will work too with a 255's on all 4 corners.
