Wheel size help
Unforunately the interwebs are pretty limited on what sizes and offsets work for this model. However I did pull some information from vossen. Im looking to get a 21x10.5 et 32 wheel size and just wanted to make sure that would be a close to flush fitment. Hoping to wrap them in a 285/35/21 tire. If anyone has aftermarket wheels with specs or any input it would be greatly appreciated before i pull the trigger on these!

I'm running Vossen VFS1 in 22x10.5 with ET 30 and 285/30/22 tire. It is a tight fit between the inside tire wall and suspension housing(?), but it works. You'll be fine with a smaller rim and bigger offset. Your tires may poke a little from the wheel wells.

If you're running a 285 with a 30mm offset and it's tight between the tire and the strut, the OP's tire will be 2mm (1/10 of an inch) closer. Not to mention his combo is 2/10 of an inch taller which I believe moves it closer as the the tire gets taller.....
Of course some manufacturer tires are wider than others so it may, or may not, be ok.
And if it is too close a thin spacer could move the tire further away from the strut.

This is what it looks like
21x10.5
Et28. I actually think et30 would be better. I poke a bit past front fenders. However, the calipers clearance is so close, that if the oz were et30, I'd need a spacer. 275/35 would solve the poke, but I went fat 285. Rears fit great, fronts poke about 3mm.
285/35 on et 30,31,or 32. Or 295/30
275/35 on et 27, 28, or 29. Or 285/30
Using 30 series will stretch the tire more than a 35. So you can run slightly more et than above if going 30s.

21x10.5 285/30 MPSS
I run 21x10.5 Strasse wheels with front offset at ET30 and Rear ET35. These are perfectly flush. I might have been able to squeeze a 285/35 tire on the front by the inner sidewall is so damn close to the upper control arm. The rear could take a 295/35 if you really wanted to
