Few minutes on the forum and already questioning
Want to get a new set of wheels for my car, Aristo V300 ( 2ND gen Gs300)
The wheels i`m talking about are the Varrstoen 3.3.1. The offest choices are really confusing me allot. and i am looking already for days whitch offset would be fitting perfect on my car.
The offset that they give for the 19 inch wheels are. 19x9,5+22 front and 19x10,5+22 rear
So will this fit slightly under my car whit a bit off fender roling in the frond and back of the car. And will it clear whit the D2 8 pod BBK ?
I think you guys can help me out whit the do and dont`s
Car mods are:
D2 coilover kit
D2 8pod BBK

ok I've been reading for days trying not to step on to many toes and get the anwsers needed.... Im looking for a couple simple anwsers. Why does everybody run a wider rear tire. This is what I'm looking to do......
Tanabe df210........ 2''drop
19x8.5 38mm offset all the way around. 245/35/19 tire.
Pros?? Cons??? modifications???

Alot of you guys have been on here for years and are tired of it, but I'm not a trust fund baby and I work for everything I got so i cant really afford to do it wrong and go back and do it again....... Thanks all...... If you guys wont respond I'll just start a new thread asking if this will work.....hahahaha just joking.....

The reason for a different size tire is because they get rims that are "staggered", meaning that the front could be 9.5 and the rear wheel could be 10.5. When people run 9.5 up front they run a 225/35/19 and when people run a 10.5 in rear they run a 245/34/19. Some people like there tires "stretched' and some people like them not "stretched".
-with a 245/35/19 on a 8.5 that will not be stretched AT ALL.
google some images lexus GS with the size tire and rims size you are going to run. it will show you what it will look like.
In my opinion i think you should go a little bit more wider up front AND in the rear. i would suggest a 9.5 up front and a 10.5 in the rear. offsets around +22. Just remember...Google imags is your best friend.

Long time reader...figured I better start posting and contributing.... lol
I am having some Auto Couture wheels built:
19x10 et15 235/35
19x11 et15 245/35
Front are rolled flat with a slight flare/pull and the rears are shaved. I am sure the rears will have to be pulled a little.
Can anyone vouch for this setup or see any flaws? Please let me know! THanks!
