Question about rim sizing

imwazn · 11-19-2013, 01:20 PM

I'm looking at getting Varrstoen ES1's, but I don't want to get 19's.

What do you guys think about getting a square set up of 18x10.5+30 in the front, and 18x10.5+15 in the back?

Also, I am lowered on Eibach pro's, about an inch drop. The other option is 18x10.5+22 on the front or back. Thanks for the help!

Setup seems fine. Yo going to go with a meatier tire? And I could be wrong but I think when you go with a different size wheel, your tire light might come on. Don't quote me on that though. Something to do with the sensors, since they aren't spaced as oem spec, but can be fixed.

To much on the front for me. Rears perfect and flush. lowered you might rub on bumps and sharp turns.

Here's the 30 and 22 offsets vs stock. Also with a 10.5" wheel you can't run anything lower than 275 tire, which some people run but again being lowered not sure if you'll have issues. Plus the tires are added cost and imagine a spacer that large installed on your front with your OEM wheels. One member with OEM alignment numbers says he rubs on only a 245/40/19 with the same springs I believe. Now you can get a smaller diameter than him but you'll still be 30mm wider which again could rub.

I have a 9.5" +25 stock alignment, stock springs and I stick out 1/8" past the fender. These wheels would push me another 8-16mm out which would look retarded.

+30

+22
