Wheel Fitment Help

Hey Driver,

Apologies in advanced if this is in the wrong forum... But I need help ASAP!

So I found some Varrstoen ES4's and I was wondering how it would fit on my car with such an aggressive offset (do I need to roll my fenders, etc), and if it would clear my Brembos?

The wheels are

FRONT: 19x9.5 +12
REAR: 19x10.5 +12

Any suggestions for tires? I was thinking on getting 225/40 in the front and 245/40 in the rear.

I have a G35 coupe which is lowered on Eibach ProKit springs which give it about an inch drop. I have a two finger clearance on my 17 inch wheels with 235/50 tires.

Thanks so much!

You def would want to upgrade to coilovers to get a bigger drop if you want to run an aggressive set up, even with those specs I'd run a 10mm spacer all around and stick to 35 series

Hey, thanks for the response. I'm not worried about running an agressive set up just yet, I was just wondering if it would fit my Brembos and would I be fine with no rubbing or anything?

And sorry, but what does 35 series mean?

Sorry I read your post wrong, 35 is the series of tire(height of sidewall). And I'm almost positive the es4 will clear.

Awesome, thanks! Do you know if I need to roll my fenders or anything like that?

235/35 255/35 or 265/35 just depends on what look your going for.

I'm opposite of Jeremie here.

Run full size tires, no point to stretch with those specs. So 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 gets my vote.

As for the brake clearance, you need to contact Varrstoen, every wheel is different and it has nothing to do with offset.

You will definitely need to roll fenders to fit +12 in the rear.

Hey guys, I test fitted the rear 255/35/19 and here are the results

The wheel gap is larger than I thought it'd be, maybe it's because I took the picture a minute after I lowered the jack so the springs haven't returned to normal yet? If not, then I guess I won't be needing to roll my fenders until I get a bigger drop. I'm not sure.

Also, what should I do about this? It really sticks out quite a bit. Should I leave it?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

As i stated, you would need a lower drop to make it look good.

Now you need to drop it, it will fully tuck that...
