need help with wheels!
I'm ordering Varrstoens es2 for my 350
still deciding on what size!!
The shop has
18x9.5 +30
18x10.5 +30
19x9.5 +30
19x10 +35
in stock..
anyone running one of these setups?
I'm worried about the front brakes clearance and I don't wanna fold the rear fender!
any thoughts or concerns?
Thanks in advance

Well I had the ES 2 19x9.5 +30 and 19x10.5 +30. Was running 235/35 and 265/35. Lowered on bc coils 1 finger gap.
Keyword is had. I didn't feel comfortable hacking up my lexus. The fender tab mod and the liner rubbing was not my cup of tea. Also the Es2.2.2 won't clear the is350 brakes with a +30 offset.. I ended up getting a 10 mm spacer which gave me a +20 offset, allowing me to clear the front calipers. You will have to roll the front and rear fender and possibly run negative camber.
I sold the wheels. It was not worth it to me to go through all that. Good luck to you. If u do decide I have the 10mm spacer for sale in the classifieds section.

Too many factors are involved that your not telling us. Are you dropped? Slammed? Do you want to tuck tire/rim? Do you want to do fender mods? Do you want 18s or 19s?
rI cant comment on brake clearence, but depending on how low you go you may need to roll your fenders

I just put on 18" ES1s
18x9.5 +30 F
18x10.5 +30 R
Tires are 245/40 and 265/40
Slight rubbing of fender liner in front on tight turns...eventually tire will just rub itself some space im told.
Had to have the rear fender rolled. Since it was rolled, no rubbing at all.
Brake clearance was fine.
