you should more than likely be fine with those specs and a flat roll, you might ask in the questions about tires thread up in the stickies at the top of the page just to make sure

Yeah I've asked questions in the thread and have my own thread about it..but most say +12 is fine but most aren't adjusting their camber so its hard to tell how close to spec I can get..and most people who answer aren't on the same wheels or specs..they are just giving opinions. So I figured id ask someone who is running same tire and wheel specs lol...I think +0 is best but you have to do fender work and run stretched tires like 235 front 255 rear and I don't want to run stretched tires.(to user who asked about +0)

I spoke to navith directly at varrstoen and I don't see any place real cheaper..ebay is actually more expensive..navith at varrstoen gave me a $1050 quote shipped. For any offset..some vendors charge you $100 more for +12 or +0

Yeah I was just talking about non varrstoen vendors..besides wide open throttle motorsports..they quoted me the same as varrstoen. But some will charge extra for more aggress. Offsets.

They're cheap as **** regardless. Just buy them and if you don't want that offset sell them and buy different ones.

Literally, this whole set of wheels shipped is worth what one of my wheels is worth before shipping.

Quit price matching and just buy the wheels direct.

i understand what your saying but even though these wheels are cheap those that want them still want the best deal. even if it is $100 difference. especially if the budget for mods is only a specific amount

Lol, just buy em dude, you want em, get it done!

Go with the +12, I'm not voicing an opinion, I know from experience. Go as aggressive as you think you want to go. 12mm is easier to make up than 22!

Yep, straight impulse buy without a doubt. Saw these wheels last night and threw up a little in my mouth... Slept on the idea and after calling they said 1 set left/no more for another 2 months so I pulled the trigger.

I currently running 19" racing hart rs-721s, but I'm just bored of them... gotta change it up once in a while
