my question is simple, looking at a set of varrstoen es'1 that are 20x9 et20 in the front. however my 19x8.5 et20 barely (by 2mm) clear my k sport coil overs.. im not convinced the 20x9 will fit.
anyone done it? is there a chance the k sports have a wider profile than other coils making fitment impossible?
the wheels are on an e60 with cks coils and they claim no rubbing without spacers..![Embarrassment](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/ohmy.gif)
any insight on this..
thanks!

Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit
Use this site, put the information in and on the right it will tell you how many millimeters it will stick in or out and then just measure.
This is a little time consuming since you will probably have to jack up the car to measure but you cant be more precise than this.

Bill109 I'm running a 20x9 et18 and I needed a 8mm spacer for my inner wheel to clear my V2 spring perch. Essentially you need a et of 12-10 at a minimum if you lower the vehicle since the spring perch will be lower on the shock body.

Varrstoen doesn't advertise their wheels need spacers to clear in the front unless you talk to them on the phone. When I ordered my set, they said minimum 5mm spacer required for the front to clear. So you're going to have to order spacers no matter stock or coilover setup.
I haven't test fit my setup yet due to the weather. I have the 20x9 front planning to test with 10mm spacer and 20x11 rear (idk if I'll need to roll fenders)

That setup will fit but you will need 8-10mm spacers without a doubt. With the spacer it won't stick out past the fender. I don't have a pic of down the side of the car but here is a front pic. The wheel is slightly tucked under the fender so it doesn't stick out.

Dont mean to Jack the thread, but I do have a question... Looking to change my set up once the weather breaks, was planning on going Varrstoen ES1 also. Will a 20x10 et15 up front be too aggressive with sport suspension? My current setup is 20x8.5F/10R. I have 235/35/20 up front Nitto 555, I was planning on going down to a 225/35/20 (Hankook V12) when I replace my front tires; rears already wrapped in v12's. So my question in a nutshell is will the 20x10 et15 fit upfront sport suspension and will the 225/35/20 fit the 10 wide wheel. Im pretty sure the 275/30/20 will be ok for the 20x11 rear. Going for a stretched look.

the seller swear they arent using spacers.. i dont get it.
now im guessing someone is going to say they aren't real varrstoens, however when i asked varrstoen directly they sent me pictures. Now the car they sent pictures of was indeed the car of which the wheels are for sale off of..
booyaazaa; do you have spacers in this picture? whats that offset including spacers? that stance would be perfect for my car even if i do need those spacers...
