Something must be wrong with my car.
I have the 10,5j with 22mm offset and they Wheels stick out almost 1/2" beyound the fender with 3° camber.
its a 265/30 but it looks already ridiculously small.
i fear so much strech aint my bag and i will use 285/30 instead.

Just sent you a PM. I'd be glad to host your pics and post them here if you email them to me.

Also, I'm wondering if anyone has these wheels who is not slammed? My car is lowered about 1-1.25" and I'm wondering how these 1.1.2s would look with a modest drop and less stretched tires

1.1.2's
19x9.5 +22 225/35
19x11 +25 255/35 (245's would've made my life much easier)

My buddy duck9i6 tebowing after he shaved my rear fenders lol
(and if you're from Sac I highly recommend Diamond Autobody if you need to shave your fenders!)

At the same time, your images confirm that the current offset offering from Varrstoen is a bit too aggressive for me.

I'd like to see the 9.5/11 in a 30-35mm offset so I have a better chance of getting the wheels to tuck with a less stretched tire... maybe a 245/35 front and 275/35 rear

Here you go looks like the pics were worth the wait.

Would you also confirm the tire size for us?

You would need at least a +17 to fit LS/Supra brakes. That means a +22 up front plus a 5mm spacer or a +12 wheel if you're ready to do some serious fender work.

Hi folks,

Varrstoen informed me today that they do have more "street" friendly offsets in the 1.1.3, which is the 20" version of the LM rep.

They have a 20x10 and 20x11 available with a 35mm offset which would allow me to comfortably tuck a 275+ mm tire.

I considered it for a moment, but I do think that 19's are perfect on our 2GS cars. Looks very proportional relative to the size of the car.

Varrstoen, if you are listening, hook up the daily driver crowed and put a smile on our face by offering the following :-)

19x9 25mm or 19x9.5 30mm
19x11 35mm
