Te37s - 18 X 9.5 +22

[LotusGTR]

Guys, I'm just about to purchase the holy grail of rims. I'm pretty sure this is what I'm after but I just wanted to throw this out there before I lay down the cold hard. Got to be 18s to clear brakes. The offset of +22 (not +12?) seems to make sense to me based on a set of 18 x 9 +20s I have. I've trial fitted RE30s with an offset in the teens and they stuck out too far IMHO. I'm hoping to confirm 100% that this size and offset have the concave look too. TE37s only look any good with the right width and offset so hoping to confirm 9.5 +22 is that

Anyone with good pics of rims of this size / offset fitted off to a R32 GTR? Can you post up? I've searched but there is nothing I can find out there that is 100% specific to whar I need to confirm.

Thanks.

EDIT, think I found one. 18 x 9.5 +22....but keep them coming.

Here is an EVO with the right looking offset.

TE 37s Holy grail of "YAWN" cattle prod time

Er, appreciate the feedback, but maybe you can be more specific about it as '+12 or ghey etc' is not that helpful, even if it is amusing (Hamish, you are a fitment whore). My 9" +20's sit very nicely in my guards. If you take a 9.5" +22 it sits just a little more flush. Lipping the guards with the +12 does not sit well with me as it is kind of messing with things too far - that's my philosophy. Plus I've had a specific experience with +12 with RE30s and they were proud of the guards IMHO. Does anyone have specific experience with these rims on this car? Does anyone have photos?

Nissan GTR, I' actually not sure what you're saying. Don't like TE37s? Fair enough but not helpful in terms of my question. Anything else to add?

Bear in mind my car is not a Chapel St show pony, but sees regular track time so 'low as' and rims and tyres hard up in the guards is not what I really want.

I'm also interested in the 'concave' look, so any further comments in this regard would be good.

Keep it constructive guys.

Pretty sure all the 9.5 TE's are the concave look? and +22 in a 9.5 will be spot on. Will still allow you to fit wind tyre's. Yes the +12 wud look porn though, but def need guard mods if you want to run wide tyre's.

Damn it will look good, jealous.

Heres my constructive critcism .if you get TE 37s they will need to be +12 OFFSET - stick them out of the guards as much as possible - aggressive , they will look mad , If you get +22 they will look like hubcaps. My rims are cross speed +12 offset . Personally R33 GTR wheels look better than TE37s.

Dude your missing his point, he is not going for the 'FULLY SICK HELLA FLUSH LOOK BRO'. This car will be seeing the track so the right offset is crucial. I know that +12 will cause rubbing problems both front and rear. The car leans quite heavilly on the track especially with any sort of reasonable semi slick. BBGTR here on the forums runs 18 x 9.5 +22 CE28N's and has not had any problems with rubbing.

LotusGTR, maybe PM BBGTR for his opinion, I'd say he will steer you in the +22 direction.

Just my 2c...

tuff wheel fitment is mandatory on skylines.

yeah, thanks Jack. Kinda the reply type I aS hoping for. Perhaps a different subforum might have been better. I'll pm Andrew. I'm pretty sure re the +22 fitment is right for practical purposes, but the flat look TEs are no good in my book. So, for TE37, it's +22, so long as they have the concave look. If not, no TE37s. If anyone has other pics of the +22 fitment then pls let me know.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

If you go the 12's they WILL look better and if you are getting any scrubbing you can simply massage the guard... It's only 10mm

Yeah I would say it would have been better to post it up in the suspension/wheel/tyre subforum. Asking this sort of question in this subforum has resulted in answers regarding what would look better. I guess your question has confused everyone into thinking what would suit a show car, not a track car.

Either way, +22 will still give you the 'concave' look. They will not be flat with that width and offset.

Cheers,

Jack

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

are you worried about the car scrubbing or not performing as well?

[LotusGTR]

Thanks Jack. I should have made that clearer in the first post. It is about form and function. For the money I want both, or it ain't worth it. Thems rims ain't cheap, so they've got to be perfect.

[alr33x]

specs : 18x9.5" ET 12 They are perfect with 265/35-18.

owners comment "This pic is with correct camber, no rubbing at all."

sorry has rolled guards also. *edit*

case closed?

[fake400r]

i reckon that mark berrys r32 ran 18 x 10.5 +22 and that looked sweet. Maybe check with russ (giant)
