Varrstoen Wheels on Sedan...pics needed??

Hi all,

I've been trying to find Varrstoen wheels on the sedan with mild drop (1") and can't. The wheels are ES 2.2.2. model with 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22 sizes...Can someone share any???

Thanks,

10.5 +22 will not look good with a mild drop. Need to be lowered at least 2.5", but preferably 3"+ for it to look good. All the Sedans that have run those specs in the rear are really low.

+1. When running that set up, you will need tire stretch and camber to make them fit properly. This wont look good with lots of tire gap.

If you like that style, check out JLB Motorsport Apollos. VERY similar design w/ more sedan friendly offsets if needed. Here is my car on Apollos with my odl suspension set up (drop 2" front and 1.5" rear)

19x8.5 +20
19x9.5 +25 (w/ 15mm spacer)

the idea was to run 255/35/19 in the rear, but the wheel gap might be too big.

Do you think I can run Varsstoens with 9.5 all around? Or is it going to look pretty bad?

You could do it. They would sit pretty flush with your fenders all around. You would need your rear fenders rolled.

If I was to source JLBs used with the sizes posted in earlier posts x8.5 and x9.5 +20, which tires would be the best?

You have a number of choices.

I would say 235/35/19 front and 255/35/19 rear. Depends if you like alot of meat to your tires or not. You could easily run a 275/35/19 rear but IMO that is too much.

can I go with 40 instead of 35 to close up the gap a bit?

You can. Then go 225/40 front and 245/40 rear.

Thanks Matzo...now I just need the wheels

It does suck that JLB went out of business...I've read good stuff about them and pricing was great.

Any other wheels that might look decent on a sedan with the lip in the rear?

So basically what the experts are saying is that my thought of buying varrstoens 2.2 at 18 x 95. with a 245 40 18 all around with a 1" drop (eibachs) will look like **** / wont work.
Or did I miss something?
