Looking to get 18 inch Varrstoen ES3's (CE28 reps) and can't figure out width and offsets for an 07 TLS w/brembo.

Is 9.5 +30 flush? Would +22 be more flush and does it require 225 tire and a fender pull?

Would +30 front & +22 rear fit better?

Is an 8.5 width wheel a more common choice w/ +35 offset?

I'm a little lost.

I plan to roll my fenders and lower the car beforehand on Tein Street Advance coils about 1.5 inches. Will add rear SPC camber arms but not wanting much camber. Maybe -1.5 or less. Not looking to pull the fenders either. I already have a weekend slammed car. Just looking for a clean, flush look.

Tires i'm guessing 235/40?

I can't really find anyone on here that has these wheels.

9.5 +22 pokes out at stock height

as i lowered it, the natural camber tucked the wheel in.

(stock aspec height)


lowered and tucked in with natural camber



18x9.5 +22

if I drop it more; the natural camber will make it more flush with fenders but thats as low as i want it.

so, in conclusion, natural camber will tuck in wheels that poke out at stock height

Are you running 235/40 tires? And you get no rubbing where you're at lowered? With fenders rolled im assuming

it just depends on your goals.

my friend was selling these TE37s in this spec (18x9.5 +22) which is pretty perfect for TL's.

you could do a slightly less offset than my +22s if you're afraid that its too much.

yes, i get rubbing from the front fenders, presumably from the front fender tabs that i have been grinding off.

im running 245/40?/18s


basically; you cant guess what work you will need done...get the wheels on and see what you need done...front fender tabs def. need to go!

ive been using a hammer to "roll" the lip so it wont cut up my tires.

I dont plan on being this low, but here's 18x9.5 +30 offsets...I just have to decide which offsets i want.. That's why maybe i was thinking maybe +30 in the front and +22 in the rear.

yeah, hes mighty low.
too bad you cant see how flush his wheels are...
do you have any other pics?


your staggered offset plan works! just one side will be slightly less concave than than the other, and thats why i like the square set up, all 4 wheels look the same.

justnspace, do you have any flush pics of your rear lowered?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

since, I dont like my cars "slammed"
this is as far as I'm willing to lower it.



as you can see, it's still poking just a bit with 9.5 +22

i will eventually move to a wider beefier tire....

these tires were on the wheels when I got them and they have a little stretch to them

Thanks again for the pics. I probably would lower mine a little bit more than yours. Your car looks so clean tho!
