Just look for a tire with a high tread wear rating or high tread wear warranty

X2

A lot of tires for cars like ours are a softer compound. Look for a treadware rating of 400 or over.

I'm thinking of getting some Varrstoen ES6's. I am stuck with offsets, I want it flush, but I don't want to have to pull or use lots of camber to get them to fit. I have Brembo brakes, and according the site Option 2 won't work because they don't clear the calipers, but maybe they would if I used spacers? It also says that Option 1 will require camber to fit. I am kinda lost here, someone guide me. Sizes I'm debating are:

Option 1 (Preference)
F: 19 x 9.5 +12
R: 19 x 11 +15

Option 2 (Apparently won't clear Brembo Calipers)
F: 19 x 9.5 +22
R: 19 x 11 +25

I have 255/35/19 tires for front, and 285/35/19 for the rear. Just any advice for which offset would be better, I want them to be as flush as possible but I don't want to run crazy camber and I don't want them to be poking.

40 series on a 9.5" / 10.5" wheel?

Hello, I really need help from the tire guru's on here. I searched around but the set up I would like to go with is not popular at all, info is hard to find.

I have 9.5" fronts, offset is +18 (I think), rears are 10.5", offset is +25 (I think).

Currently running 245/35/19 Fronts, and 275/30/19 Rears.

The set up I want would be 255/40/19 front and 285/40/19 rears

Tired of the harsh ride, I have a family now so I need something more comfortable. The thicker, the better - a 40 series would be ideal.

I raised my car on 350z springs, so clearance shouldn't be an issue. My main concern is VDC.

I've read the various fitment lists and tire calculators, but can't seem to get a definite answer - any help would be great!

Still looking for an answer for this.

First of all, (i always ask this first) what are u lowered on?
You want it flush and dont want camber to get it fit, well you should not slam it then and leave it at a functional height.

I would go with option one, it should clear the brembos no problem, and maybe 245/35, 275/35

Tire sizes are 235/35/19 f and 255/35/19 rear, the rears are stretched a lot more than the front so I was thinking of matching it with a 275/35/19 rear set I have sitting in my garage.

Would this be too big for the rear to have?
Any problems I might run into?
Are u going for the stretch look? If not 245/35, 275/35 imo

I am lowered on HKS Hipermax III. Its at a very functional height. I don't plan on slamming my car because I actually drive it and the roads are crap here. But you can look at my other posts and see my stance. I'm highly considering either set, and I feel more comfortable with Option 2 because I don't want the wheels sticking out too far. I have a set of 5mm spacers I can run. You think that if I went with Option 2 but used my 5mm spacers they would clear the calipers?

Option 1 will give u more room to play with. Tbh +15, +12 offset arent that aggressive. Before I ran es 2 with 19x10, 19x11 +15 allround.

How low were you and how much camber did you run? I have camber kits front and rear, but for drivability purposes I would prefer to keep the camber as "stock" as possible. Also, how much poke was there?

Looking for info on running a 19x10.5 +30 with a 265/35 on a V35 Sedan. Possible with just a roll?

Thanks

I haven't had an alignment yet, so I can't tell you my camber specs. If you are set on those widths, I would say +4 in the front, and 0 offset in the rear with no spacers at all SHOULD get you roughly where I am at as far as "flush" whether or not this is what your going for, or the Hellaflush look. I am no wheel expert, but it's math, so I think I am pretty damn close.
