Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[fletty]

A few pages back I did a chop with some new Varrstoen Wheels that are coming out, the ES6 (work and SSR copies)

Here is an actual picture of the wheel in real life.. 9.5/ 3" lip and 11/ 4" lip

I'm undecided now on what way to go, it's between these and the 2.2.2's

[Bellato]

These will look tougher but also look smaller! I like the colours on these better than what the 2.2.2's come in

[FIXR7]

Be good if they didn't step the rim like that fletty. That also doesn't help the appearance of diameter. Are those tyres fitted/pumped up? they look ridiculous!

[fletty]

Yea certain angle's they are going to appear small, but hopefully I could compensate that with more low and aggressive stance

Wouldn't run tyres this stretch, 245 fronts and 275 rears, will go wider once I know I can.

[Pazzo]

So there actually your rims Fletty? Going to look real goid

[fletty]

No, the picture is just for reference. Its the first real life pic I've been able to find of them. Originally pictures released by varrstoen were a bit misleading and you couldn't get a sense of the depth. These are off a BMW forum on the US, 225 tyres fronts and 245 tyres rear, that's why they are so stretched

Silly American's.

245 on an 11 inch rim. I thought Henz's brother putting 215's on a 9.5inch wheel was stretched!

When do these hit the country fletty? Someone might be able to go to a retailer and put them up against their car for reference for pics?

[fletty]

According to varrstoen aus they are available now, although they aren't listed on their site or eBay yet. I'm guessing they should become available through cartel-aus soon enough too.

Would definitely appreciate it but if someone could Maybe even test fitting the rears so I can see how much inner clearance if any I will have. I can compensate the poke with some camber, guard pumping.

thanks to all the awesome info in this thread, I think I have finally settled on the rims I want for my fgt, I've read this thread over a few times in the past but hoping to get some advice from you guys (cos I keep forgetting what I've read) to see if everything's ok with fit, allow maybe SSL-ish lowering in the future, maybe, etc,

with the following specs (should be very safe):

Gram lights 57xtreme (rays)
F: 19x8.5 +33
R: 19x9.5 +35

they are light weight casts, given up on finding out whether they will clear the 6pots

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/2009/products/wheel.php?type=spec&code=GL_57Xtreme (dunno why the 09, it's pretty new)

I'm not planning for guard or camber work and no poke (9.5 +25 will poke according to someone here). I had hoped for better offsets for the fronts but not a lot to choose from. being a jap wheel they have go and use different terms: inset of 33, is that the same as ET33?

nitto invo 255/35 f and 275/30 r, unless 285 fit

was thinking going to perfectrun.jp for the rims cos they are the cheapest I can find but they are an import mob and if you guys can recommend a vic local then I def prefer local guys if the price is close. anyone dealt with OTR motorsport?

sorry this has become a heap of questions. appreciate the help and thanks in advance ppls!!
