XXR 531 vs Varrstoen ES7

Ok...so I put these XXR 531 on last friday... i like them but i've emailed Varrstoen and word is the ES7 is now available. UGH. which do you guys prefer? I'll list specs below. Good + Bad commens welcome since I really am about to drop a grand on these sexy ES7s. also would my current 225/40/18 tires fit fine?

XXR 531
18"x8.5" +35mm


Varrstoen ES7
18"x9.5" +35mm

+1 to sexy ES7s. Your current tires would fit fine. How okay are you with a stretched tire though?

This is an example of what that kind of stretch would look like

I really am digging the Varrstoen's mmm but 9.5 +35 i'm worried about fitment. I think the stretch will help, I'm stretched a small amount right now. Pics show my current gap, i'm also parked outside my office where the front of my car is dipping down a small incline

varrstoens 100% plus 9.5 +35 will be fine, youll need a slight pull though.
