The answer depends on the offset/width of your wheels! Without that information we'd be guessing what might work. Post what you intend to buy and you'll get an answer....Gary

New to the Forum

So I have a 2006 Infiniti G35x and I'm looking to get some VMR V710's.

What is the best setup to get without having to get new tires?

well it depends on what you want. I personally am not at all a fan of the hellaflush thing so I would go +30 without the spacer. But I'm guessing you like it or you would never have bought a 25mm spacer. in that case go lower and you can be more aggressive, or if you're happy with your fitment, and just want a different wheel design get em at +30mm and throw your spacer on there.

Umm if you are buying new wheels, buy the right offset from the start, don't plan on using spacers when you have the option not to.

As far as specs it depends on what kind of look you are going for and how aggressive you want it to be. You're probably searching for something around +12, 0, or -X depending on what you're looking for.

HELP WITH OFFSETS! Varrstoen ES 1... easy question..

Im currently running xxr 521 20x10.5 +30 and 25mm spacer = +5 et all around. 245/35/20 tires. Im looking to buy a set of varrstoen es1's 18x10.5 and run no spacers but still have a little poke and that agressive look (unless you think otherwise...?) let me know what offset i should get. i have a 2003 g35 coupe black 6mt w/ bbk (brembo brakes). i need at a +12 offset or less to clear the front brakes. i would like to not run staggered, i want 10.5 all around (i would do 19x11 but theyre all out). i still plan on running 245/35 tires so i mild stretch.

so my question is what do you recommend for a good look? i want to slam it like it is now.


18x10.5 +0 no spacers
18x10.5 +12 no spacers
18x10.5. +22 with my 25mm spacer = -3 et

First of all your wheels and fitment look good..imo 18's look way to small...If you decide to go with ES1 stick with 20's...

Quick question, just rebuilt a set of rims how I can find out if everything is sealed properly without mounting the tire.

go around the space between the two barrels with silicone. if you put it on smoothly, it shouldn't leak. or play it safe and just put a crap load of silicone on it. only other way I could see without mounting a tire is to spray soapy water around the bolts and take an air compressor around the silicone to see if any parts bubble.

I don't know. I'd just go with the super heavy 50000 layers of silicone and call it a day.

I have a 2007 G35 with 225/40/19 in the front and 245/40/19 in the rear. I was wondering if I went 245/40/19 all around if that would screw up my handling at all?
