Fellow TL'ers, i'm in the market of buying some new shoes for my 08 wdp TL-S

rims i'm looking at are 19" Volk TE37 TIME ATTACKS..

looking at 19"x8.5 for fronts but for rears they have 19"x9.5 or 10.5 not 10. is the 10.5 too wide?
i do want the rear staggered look

i'm willing to do fender rolling.

part 2 to my question. rubbers.

fronts i'm looking at 235/35/19

for rears if i'm stuck w/ 19x9.5 would 255/35/19 be too wide?
and if i can go 19x10.5 how wide can i go for a flush look

thanks for all feedback.

btw i'm planning on dropping the lady on tein ss coilovers.

 

Depends on several factors. How low are you? offset of the wheels? How much camber you willing to run? A little fender pulling may be involved as well not just rolling.

 

hey dude! those are some really nice wheels (rare aswell)...saw them on kijiji. Buddy that owns them lives pretty close to me as well...ur gonna need to figure out the offset of the wheels...the might be a little aggresive cuz i think they were on a 350!

 

was it a recent add u saw, i can't find the add...

 

Okay guys I need to know if I'd have any issues with these specs.
Fronts:19x9.5 and rears:19x10.5 22mm offset for all


Now I know there are some tl'ers running fronts w/ 19x8.5 29mm offset for fronts
And 19x10.5 44mm offset for rears

Will I have issues with the 22mm offset and the fronts being 9.5 wide for fronts?
I plan on lowering it on tein ss about 1.5"

 

Your gonna have to roll your fenders. You will probably need to pull your fenders and run some camber as well. your tires will determine how much of each you will have to do.

 

hmmmm okay i can get fronts 19x8.5 43mm offset or 19x8.5 22mm offset

and rears 19x10.5 22mm offset or 19.9.5 43mm offset

rubber wise i was thinking either 235/245 30/19 for fronts and 255-275/ 30/19 for rears. i don't mind rolling fenders but don't know too much about pulling fenders?

but with those offsets how big of a difference do they make?

 

Just go big man. Fender pulling is similar to fender rolling. Just takes some patience and time.

 

HUGE difference in those offsets, I would go with 19x8.5 +22 and 19x9.5 +22. This will require work though, stretched tires (ie 225/35 front and 235/35 rear), rolled fenders, camber, etc.

If you get the 40 offsets they will fit easy but will not look as good IMO. Its all personal preference though.

 

what does one mean by "tires streched"? and out of curiousity what is the "huge" difference from 22mm to 40+?

at the end of the day i want the staggered look on the rears...

i've seen "D R E W"s TL-S with the te37's on them and his rear has a 4xmm offset and rear tires are 275/30/19s w/10.5's 42mm offset and fronts are 245/35/19's but mind you i don't know if he did any custom work....

 

stretched tires mean to put a skinny tire on a wild wheel. It gives you some more clearance so you can run a wider wheel. Look at vipTL thread in photography section and look at his stretch.

 

I think I have just what you need as I have run about every set up mentioned lol.......

Here is my Work Varianza T1S setup:
Specs:
Front: 19x9.5 +24 with 225/35-19
Rear: 19x10.5 +22 with 235/35-19

How the rear will look without a rear camber kit, but ROLLED fenders.



Fronts, stock fenders.



Here is my Volk LE37T set up:
Front: 19x8.5 +22 with 215/35-19
Rear: 19x9.5 +22 with 225/35-19

Rear:





Front:



The 8.5 +22 and 9.5 +22 setups were perfect imo.... although the fronts had a little more room to be flush (around 19x8.5 +15)

 

I would highly recommend stay away from the 10.5 +22 sizing; leave those to G's and Z's as they are intended for, they poked out too much on my car and I wasn't satisfied.

If you wanted to go 10.5 then +43 would be an awesome offset, you can fit 275/30-19 tires on there with rolled fenders and you would be on your way. That's exactly what D R E W did.

10.5 +43 is actually 8mm LESS aggressive than 9.5 +22 so you can use your imagination in the pictures.

 

awesome!! thanks... so in close then if they don't have 10.5 +43 in the 19's i want and only have 10.5 and 9.5 in +22, then the 9.5 would be a much better fit for the rear...but if so are the 9.5 +22 staggered or non.?

 

What other options do you have for the front? The only reason why I am big on the +22 offset is because the face becomes concave from +22 and lower.

If you can get your hands on a 19x8.5 +22 then I would, but if not, you can do 19x9.5 +22 all around. The front will looks like the 19x9.5 +24 fronts I posted (only a 2mm difference). A safe tire size would be 225/35-19 all around.

But just to re-state, I had my fenders rolled.

 

+22 and lower, just curious as DREW's rears are 19x10.5 +42mm rears and they hella concaved in

 

Concavity is the spoke going inward to the center of the wheel. DREW's rears have a lip which is what you're seeing and aren't as much concave.

 

your right, i was looking at one of his pics...theres a very mild concave appearance. maybe the deception of the lip creates that look? anyways

i'm thinking because it seems near impossilbe to find 19x10.5 w/ a 42mm offset in any other colour but titanium, and only tirerack seems to have em, just buy them from tire rack and powder coat them...

wonder if theres any pros n cons to powercoating. if it will chip easy and lose strength if the have to sand blast it..

canadian price for a set of 4 volk te37s is $1100 per rim!!!! ludacris...

 

Concave FTW!

 

Concave in or what we called Aggressive Concave spoke. Rays called it GTR Face.

Here are all the GTR face for 19" TE37.

19x9.5 +5
19x9.5 +12
19x10.5 +12
19x10.5 +22

I say stay away from +22mm offset. TL is not really meant to run such a low offset.

Unless you have done these before like bforBrian who have done this before and know what's involved to make it work. You need someone who can help you with fender rolling and pulling.

If this is your daily driver .. don't do it .. you will hate yourself.

Go with the mid 30 to 40 offset.
