Which 18" width and offset in Varrstoen ES221 ?
 
Hey guys, need your help please, I found these wheels, like the look and price, and they come in green :), can you help me to choose the correct size, width and offset?

Here is the criteria I am looking for:

1. As flush as possible with no pull to the fenders.
2. As narrow of a wheel up front as possible to avoid rub at full lock (modified for more lock for drifting)

Me personally I got 18x9.5 +22 up front and sticks out very minimal about 2mm more or less. But for the rear I'd go 18x10.5+15 for a flush look and maybe add a 5 -10mm spacer in the rear

even with a 18x10.5+15 you still need a 5-10mm spacer to be flush?

Do you have pics of your setup, like side shots?

Thx

Rightnow I'm running 9.5+22 all around w a 20mm spacer in the rear, but im saving up to get 10.5+ 15 for the rear to try to avoid using a spacer in the back. But if you look at my album the first pic is my most recent setup.

If you want to avoid any poke at all then 18x9.5+30 and 18x10.5+15. My current set up is 18x9.5+35 with a 10mm spacer and 18x10.5+12 with a 5mm spacer. Effective front offset is +25 and rears is +7. Rears are perfect flush, fronts are still a little tucked but does great under hard cornering as I don't rub on the fender or fender liner anymore like I did when I had a 15mm spacer on front.

This is the front wheels when I had 15mm spacers which made it an effective offset of +20 on the fronts. Just a little of poke but just enough to rub on big bumps. This is on a 255/45 tire btw. A 245/45 may of fixed the problem but meh. The rear is still at +7

thats awesome.
what size tires?
ride height?
camber?

Sizing is always wheel specific, just because someone else's car can run a size and offset it doesn't mean you can run the exact same setup.

The Varrstoens are notorious for not being brake friendly so you will need to stick with a +22 if you have the Sport brakes and go with the +0 all around

If you're honestly drifting on these wheels I would pass, they are not known to hold up to extreme abuse, a set of Enkei RPF1's will be a better setup

255/45/18 and 275/40/18
I'm dropped about an inch and a half at-1.7 front camber and-2.4 in the rear.
