Well, we run RPF01 in a 18 x 10.5 w 15 offset and have no problems clearing the Brembos. I'm not sure I understand your question. Sorry, it's late...

 

Btw, I suggest switching our to APR track studs. They are better in every way and provide you with significant spacer flexibility.

 

Its cool bro lol basicly my question is which offset is better to run on the 18x10.5 Varrosten 2.2.1 wheels.. Either +15 or +22

I want them to stick out a tad but not to much, I also really don't want to require spacers over 5mm.

 

I was told the same thing before. I'm placing an order for them after I order my fuel pump. But can I still run stock studs with 10.5 wheels ?

 

If the question is whether Varrosten 2.2.1s will clear the calipers, then cool. You've asked, now sit back and wait for an answer. We definitely don't need a new thread on what offset to run with 275/35s on 18x10.5s.

 

I have es 3.3.1 18x9.5 +22 it clears, not too sure about +15 i think you will need at least 5mm spacers.

 

I mean I've searched on here on the fitment issue. If I can't find my answer I don't see why I can't ask the question on here..

But hoping some one can shed some light before I pull the trigger on the +15 or +22 offset

 

I think that you misunderstood what I wrote. After seeing this thread, I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer to the question of whether these wheels would clear the calipers. So that's what I said was a valid question, worthy of a new thread. The issue I was trying to deflect was the general issue of +15s vs +22s, since that's been beaten to death.

 

I thought about this a bit more over lunch. Please let me clarify (which translates to "provide more information" if you're my friend, or to "back-pedal like a wimp" if you're not).

When a wheel-maker creates multiple versions of a wheel with different offsets, there are at least three main ways to do this. One is to leave the center and spokes unchanged, and just move the barrel of the wheel in or out. A second is to simply add or subtract from the mounting side of the center. The third is to actually change the spokes.

When the different versions of a wheel differ by the first method, offset is irrelevant to caliper clearance; if one version fits, they all will fit. But if the different versions of a wheel differ by either of the other two methods, then different offsets offer different amounts of (front-face-of caliper to back-of-spokes) caliper clearance. If you know how the different versions of the wheel are made, then you can know whether offset makes a difference to caliper clearance. If you don't know how the different versions are made, then asking an offset-specific question about caliper clearance is not only justified, but almost required.

I do not know how Varrosten 2.2.1s differ by offset. I retract much of what I said above and invite people to say whether specific offsets of these wheel will clear the brakes.

Apologies.

 

no worries bro, i sound different over typing lol but i completely understand what your saying

 

i called varrosten and they told me that the +15 and +22 should clear. i asked them to send me customer pictures so i can get an idea of what they mean.

i dont want to buy +15 and have an issue and be stuck with them you know. im continuing my search hoping to get a right answer from Varrosten
