Varrstoen ES1.1.2 on Athens Coupe

Hey guys,

Im in desperate need of new tires, but I am entertaining the idea of new wheels and tires all together. Varrstoen came out with a new set of wheels, I dont think any members have bitten the bullet and purchased them yet. Just wondering if someone would be so kind to photoshop them onto an Athens blue coupe to see what it would look like.

Here is a link to the wheels:

Onto an ATHENS BLUE g35 COUPE

If I do indeed purchase these, I would get them in 19x9.5 +12 front, 19x10.5 +12 rear with 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear....what do you guys think? I am currently on stock suspension too, so I am also considering Tanabe suspension of some sort. Do I need to roll fenders? Do I need a rear camber kit?

Thanks for the help!
Adam

i'll let you know how it turns out, i already have these ordered in those exact specs and my car is already lowered with tanabe gf210 springs from the 350z so it should be similar to what youre looking to do

awesome! Im anxious to know what these look like! If I had photoshop on my computer, I would do it myself but I dont have the program anymore

Def post up pics for me when you get them! What tires and sizes are you going to be running?

dg, the new wheels should look pretty good on the diamond graphite color. here's my current setup before the new wheels arrive

Darkside if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the set? You can PM me if you'd like.

currently the car is dropped on 350z tanabe gf210 springs with 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 falken 452s and i will probably run falken 452s on the varrstoens, id rather run generals but havent been able to find a 275/35/19 rear

where did you purchase those springs if you dont mind and how much?

car and drop looks great! do you have any other shots with that set up?

are the tanabe gf210 any different than the eibach sportlines? in terms of drop?

i would appreciate the advice

i bought the springs off of the my350z forums, they have tokico blues from the 350z paired up with them. i used to have a 350z so i just swapped everything over. i honestly couldnt tell you the difference between the gf210 and the sportlines, i havent really looked into those. i have several other pics with the drop in my garage album, including a couple close up shots to show the wheel gap and so on
