Who Has VarrsToen Wheels on their Cars?
#766
Okay so I got a response back from VarrsToen. I am happy with thier price but, I didn't place the order. That's because I have changed my mind...again go figure. LOL! Anyways what im thinking now is to still stick with the ES 112 but, go with staggered fitment. It really does look better. Better fitment AND stance. So im looking at 19x9.5 front and 11 in the rear in hyper silver.
SUMATIC my exact drop is .7" front and .9" rear. With that little of a drop I think the 11's(at +15) would poke too much. I've seen other members with 11" in the rear at +15 and +0. Which looked great! They are lower than me though. Like 1.5" to dumped! So what should I be looking at now? 9.5F +12/ 11R +15 or 9.5F +22/ 11R +25?
Perhaps even going with a 9.5F +12 and go higher offset on the 11 to the +25. I don't know if that's a dumb idea or not. With any of these new set-ups however. Im forced to go with a 35 series tire. No big deal really. If any of you guys are on the V35 Coupe Drivers facebook group. Feel free to hit me up on there for faster response(Seth Chapman) Thanks guys!

11" on that kinda drop would be pretty aggressive.
i had my coupe maxxed out on megans with a 10.5+22 and it was about 10mm sunken from my fenders. and that was with no spacers. so with that 11 +15 might be pretty flush on your drop. but you should go with the higher offset just to be on the safe side but i guess the disadvantage might be a smaller lip for those rears.

That's what I was thinking too. About being flush that is. With my current drop my camber isn't severe at all. Which is something to consider. To me the 9.5f +12 is perfect! The rear is what keeps tripping me up. +25 or +15 is the question at hand. Current drop...roll rear fenders for sure. Front is ok. If I ever do go lower though. The +15 might just work...would it not? I guess it would help to post future tire specs too. F 245/35-19 R 275 or 285/35-19. That should provide a slight stretch. Nothing crazy.

depends on your perspective and what you wanna get out of the drop+wheel set up. it'll be gee for a lower drop for sure. but soon as you drop lower you'll wanna get a better stretch on your tires. but your height right now should be alright for that set up. but a fender roll should be needed.

^all that being at my current drop with the +15 11" rear fender rolled? Ok just checkin. What I really need is a picture of my above supposed set up or as close to it as possible . Like I said, there are guys running +15 11" lowered 1.5" or more all day. I'll have to dig some more either on here or another forum for a pic. Someone has GOT to have a set up with similar specs to mine.

well you can just see if it can clear without rolling it. but itll look cleaner with a flush fittment.
but yeah as far as pics lol, you gotta trind find em. try this website rimtuck.com
but im pretty sure all those cars are dropped. i searched that whole sight for different fittments. but just type in the car make and model and just put in the wheel diameter and itll drop down all different setups with peoples Gs with different wheels/tires and fittment specs. hope it helps.
it helps me alot when i look for other setups.

Okay so I have spent some time searching and using the website RIMTUCK.com that you provided. It was indeed very helpful. I have narrowed my search down to only 2 cars. Both cars happen to belong to members here on Driver.
The first member is cizzle. His specs are 19x10 +30f and 19x11 +25r. Don't mind the front. I have my mind set on 19x9.5 +15f.
That rear is at +25. After seeing his set up(he's at a similar drop btw) the 19x11 at that offset looks good. Not aggresive by any means but, nothing a 5,7 or 10mm spacer would fix If I do go lower. I mention the spacer beacuse the next member is Triple8Sol. Again just focusing on the rear. His specs are 19x9.5 +11f and 19x11 +18r. I could achieve similar specs easy with the spacers I mentioned. He is also MUCH lower.
Comparing these two set ups now. The +25 on the 11" rear looks to be the way to go. Like you had suggested SUMATIC. I can play around with my offset more that way. While the fronts are at 9.5" +15. Which is spot on IMO. You are right about losing some lip. about .4" Considering the 11" lips approach 4". I should be just fine.
So as I look at thses two cars I get a final spec of my OWN wheels. Im looking at
19x9.5" +15F 245/35-19
19x11" +25R 275/35-19
Looking at all these photos though has sparked my interest in Gunmetal ES 112's. I had originally only considered Hyper Silver. Great, I've finally got my wheel specs down and NOW am confused on color. LOL! Good thing that's the fun part. I have an OB coupe with clear corners, black grill(chromeFuji emblem) and 06/07 projectors. Hope all of this helps out others that are in a similar spot to me.
P.S. cizzle and Triple8Sol. I will take these photos down at your request.

Lips on the 9.5 are 2.75" according to VarrsToen. DarksideG35 is the user that has inspired me to go with the ES 1.1.2. Here is the link to his thread.

To me that stance is sick! Im aware that he is lowered on springs and is running a 35 series tire. Where as I would prefer to run a 40 series. He states that the specs are 19x9.5/10.5 +12. Which looks good to me. Thanks for answering my questions so far SUMATIC. I wanna make sure I do this right.
