I'd stick to the 235.

Why not just picked up a set of OEM coupe 18s? They're have the 225/245 stagger and you can probably find them with tires for as much as new 235/50/17s.

Yo Blain, is an alignment required after putting on new wheels? I just did one with my stockers a month ago.

Thinking about getting some varrstoen for now. Car is stock height but I plan on dropping it, not slammed or anything like /-\. Want to run 9.5 f and 11 rear. What offsets should I got with so I don't have to have my wheels cambered? Was thinking +12 +15 or would it be better in the 20s.

Also around this time next year I plan on getting some gnosis. Since they are custom in almost any offset. What specs would be good? Again not slammed.

Nope, just align after suspension changes. That includes bushings and crap like that, not just height adjustments.

I don't know, do you drive a coupe or sedan?

I'd personally wait and save for the Gnosis. Why bother wasting money on Varrtsoens?

A coupe. I figure I would resale them later on just keep the varrstoen as a winter setup so I dont have to bother worrying about the more exspensive works.

you'll want a higher rear offset on the 11s to avoid having to run a little neg camber or pulling the fenders. 20x11 +20ish is really your best bet there.

As for the gnosis I'd order them in 10 +15 and 11 +20

Buy winters, all seasons are really just summer tires these days.

215/55/17 will also work and should be cheaper/more available. OR if you don't have brembos you could go with a 16" wheel option and run something like a 225/60/16 on steel wheels.

I'm looking at a non staggered setup for both 19x11 +15F & +0R w/ 4 inch lips.
Also what tires & spacers are preferred for this setup? A mild stretch is preferred and I'm at -3/-4 camber atm. Thanks!
What is your take on 20s for coupes? 19s or 20s mesh type wheels with white faces on DG coupe.
