Default wheel fitment questions

ok so heres the deal im in the process of bringing back some wheels back to the states, and im trying to figure out which ones i should mail off and which ones i should send on the slow boat back. So i have 3 sets that i have for the car but looking at which ones will fit the best as is with just suspension .
first set is a set of varrstoen 2.2.2 19x 9.5"+12 F/R- White
Work VS-KF 18x9+33 F 18x11+33 R - burning black
Work Equip 5spokes 19x9+33 f 19x10+33 chrome

so my question is which pair will fit the best? i.e. not sunk in, rubbing suspension, and not poking out more then a little rolling/pulling of the fender cant fix, not trying to use more the 8-10mm spacers if i have to.

The varrstoen will fit well, roll all 4

Rest are weak.

you would know for sure that these will work without any hassles, that is what i would do. plus chrome goes with anything. hate to have the wrong ones on the "slow boat"

Not sure what your car theme is but in general, I am not a fan of painted rims, including white. Our cars also likes staggered fitment so this size all-around is out for me. This one will also be the most work to make fit.

Like the wheels, the color but not a big fan of 18s if I had a choice to go bigger. This one will be less work to fit than the varrstoen. The x11 will also make it "interesting" to fit..

Like the wheels, not a fan of chrome (but that's just me). Although the weakest spec, it is not ultra conservative either. This one will be the easiest to fit.

It comes down to what you want to do. You did not mention your body kit plans, drop, and the look you are after. Although interesting to look at, I am not one to go all VIP, stretched, camber, ... on my car so I would go for the Equips. These wheels are not going on my car so it's your call. You will, however, get a few different opinions and you can choose to go with the ones closest to your needs/wants.

Good luck and have fun.

thanks for all the input, i think im just going to go with the Equips and re-barrel them when i get there i just dont think 3" lips are going to do it for me well maybe in the front but not in the rear. guess we'll see how hard it is to find over fenders.
