I Need Help
 
I need some help from my fellow members!!!

I have these wheels: VARRSTOEN 2013 STYLE ES7 19X9.5 +12 19X11 +15 5X114.3 SILVER MACHINED WHEEL RIMS


I dont know what size of tires im suppose to buy. Please help me

you can stretch the tires but these are most ideal from my research

Thadragon 01-10-2015 11:22 PM

but do you think this wheel will fit on my Z without doing any fender roll?

zefaulter 01-10-2015 11:49 PM

front not sure. rear is good

Merv 01-10-2015 11:56 PM

From my calculations,your sitting out past your fender by 18 to 20 mm up front. Your going to have some poke. I think you need to roll your fenders,buy some front camber arms and I would suggest you stay 245 up front which will at least give you a very,very slight stretch which is better than ballooning your tire for your aggressive fit. The stock 9" rim with a +47 takes roughly 20mm to sit flush with fender. So that puts you at +27 at 9" so the offset differance is 27-12 for your new rim offset which = 15 mm past the fender. Than you need to add 6mm for the extra 1/2 in width of your new rim (quarter inch to each side of the centreline of the rim.
I think it aggressive up front.

That made my head hurt. :icon14:

With your specs and offset compared to stock,the front extends 41mm farther than stock and the back extends 28mm farther than stock.

this is a matter of taste but 20mm spacers dont make stock fronts flush 100%. They still need maybe 5mm more but I haven't tried it myself.

Lol,made sense in my head! It's abit confusing. It took me a bit to grasp offset and how it works.

I agree. Even so,it will still stick out another roughly 15 mm. I don't know how much camber it would take to make it tuck properly,but running a wider tire up front might not be choice.

So confused with these offsets..but anyway i have spl upper control arms .i guess i wont be needing my spacers on y car..lol.. I think this varrstoen wheels are alright wheels ,what do you guys think?Attachment 99149

Merv 01-11-2015 12:37 AM

I think it's a great looking rim! Did you buy them new?get a deal you couldn't refuse!?:eek:

Merv 01-11-2015 12:43 AM

Thedragon
I would look at as many threads as you can. Find somebody with a similar setup and find out pros and cons. Pm guys questions who look like they have some experience. Im sure they would gladly help out.

I'll leave this here since your asking for opinions

Thadragon 01-11-2015 12:56 AM

I bought this wheels just for looks

Thadragon 01-11-2015 01:00 AM

I know it's not that very good of a wheel but I think it will do the job. I'll just use it for daily driving, and maybe get a better wheels when I go to track. Lol

Trips 01-11-2015 01:04 AM

Well, As long as you know what your getting.

Enjoy! :tup:

bullitt5897 01-11-2015 01:13 AM

Your offsets are fine. I would run the 245 or 255 up front and 305 in the rear. You will need to run some camber in the front.

Merv 01-11-2015 09:33 AM

Ya,but how much camber can he run without it driving poorly. Rolling the fenders is an option. I guess it depends on what op's looking for

Thadragon 01-11-2015 09:50 AM

My car is lowered, is that gonna be an issue? Do I have to lift it a lil more?

zefaulter 01-11-2015 10:17 AM

Share photos when you get them mounted

OTW Z-Boy 01-11-2015 11:13 AM

I'll chime in...
I'm running ES1's same offsets and widths, and yes the front will poke A Lot.
I'm on Michelin PSS 245/40 and 285/35 and they do not look stretched (PSS are notoriously wider than others in identical sizes)

But with investing in some quality front upper arms and rear camber arms you will be able to dial in these numbers for camber:
Front -2.0
Rear: -1.8
With this set up and camber setting front to back looks almost flush to the fender.

And as for the pothole yes vars' are replicas for 1/4 of the price you get what you pay for. I daily my Z 140 miles round trip from the IE to the OC across some BS construction on the 15/91/55/22 and the 74 for fun on Friday and have hit a ton of potholes and haven had anything close to that link happen.

So in conclusion: DONT BE THAT F-ING POSER THAT PUTS CENTER CAPS OFF AMAZING WHEELS ON YOUR SH!t YOU BOUGHT ON A BUDGET.

Live your truth. Any questions?

Thadragon 01-11-2015 11:41 AM

Nice one otw-z boy!! Is you Z lowered too?

On swifts... You will need arms in front pretty sure you can run at max 235/35s and that's going to look awful trust me I've been there.

Thadragon 01-11-2015 11:51 AM

I have spl upper control arms anything else I need? What brand and size tire did you get?

Thadragon 01-11-2015 12:05 PM

Cool.

RZ14 01-11-2015 01:13 PM

Ideal up front is 255 or 265. Minimum of 245. Rear ideal is 275 or 285. Maximum of 305. I just went through all this last week and finally settled with 255/30R20 and 285/30R20. Everything looks great. No rub. Wheels are parallel with the tire walls. My offsets are now +8/+12 and I went up an inch from stock wheels...people will cry 'cause I stay 30 all the way around but it looks great and handles just the same. Don't let internet lawyers persuaded you into a "standard". Stay between the numbers above and you be fine. Good luck.

Ther you go,someone with the same offsets and already dialed in. Can't get any easier than that!

Nope a little more negative camber solves everything.

Thadragon 01-13-2015 09:40 PM

Cool thanks
