I'm looking at getting a set of Volk LE-37s and i'm not sure if they will fit without ANY issues.

Specs:
19x8.5 +43 FR
19x9.5 +45 RR

Will these fit without any problems? I do NOT want to do any modifications at all to make them fit. So they have to clear the OEM Brembos in the front, clear control arms, and clear unrolled fenders.

All you Volk 3Gers out there help me out!!

Thanks.

 

I don't know if the rear will clear with a +45 offset on 9.5" for sure, but if you don't lower your car at all, you should be alright in rear, and for sure up front. If you do decide to lower your car later, you will for sure be rubbing for days, even if you do roll your fenders, in the rear.

 

I think the offset is too high.

I have Volk TE37s on my car now. Granted they are 18's, but here are the specs:

18x8.5 +40 offset. With the 40mm offset it clears it perfectly.

 

IIRC there are quite a few members on here with LE and TE-37s. I'm pretty sure a couple of them are running 19x8.5 +43 in the front. But I want to make sure on the rears too...

 

That setup should be perfect. I think +43 is what Eric runs with bbk

btw..your mazda 6 is sick as hell

 

That'll fit perfect.

LE37s are long gone from Ray's, you picking up a used set?

 

...that would be TE37's with polished lip

 

Huh?
LE37 are basically TE37s with a machined lip... Problem is, they've been long discontinued.

TE37 dont have much of a lip due to the design... And if you wanted that little lip polished you'd have to have that custom done.

There's no such thing as TEs with a polished lip

 

Yeah if I were buying new rims then I wouldn't get a staggered setup, but i'm getting a good deal on these so it's not a big deal. Plus I like the 3.5" lip on the rears.

So they will fit in the front and rear without any problems or rubbing at all?

 

yea LE's was discontinued, they are almost the exact same wheel, i've used both sets, and there are TE's with polished lip, when i ordered my TE's awhile back, i had an option for polished lip

 

that offset is fine... you will be 2mm off factory specs on the front...
as for the rears you will be set since there is way more space than 1" from the tire to the fender

you could pretty much run a 19x10.5 +45 in that rear (granted you'd have rubber bands on but it is doable)

I say go for it if the price is right...

 

I've had TE's, and my buddy has LE's on his 350z.

These look similar, but actually, the wheel face is very different. Since TE's don't have lip, the have a very flat face. LE's with large lips have a very radially concave face to accomodate the offset for the lip. They're not the same wheel in any since.

... and there's nothing on the Ray's site that shows polished lip as an option. Maybe that was discontinued too, or the knuckleheads you were orderign from are confusing LE-37s ad TE 37s with polished lips...

to me, they are the 99% the same, im actually a dealer, i ordered them myself directly from Rays distributor (Mackin), they are available with polished lip for gunmetal and gloss black but not for colors like bronze or flat black

 

Well, they're not the same geometric design by any sense.

Yes, i know Mackin is the sole importer of Ray's as well. I also know Mackin only does business with authorized distributors... Just curious... which one of these authorized dealers are you?

Upgrade motoring does a great job of showing all the Volk wheel options... I no see a polished lip:

The gunmetal TE's were discontinued in 2005 as they were a single year release. You can special order any color you want for a nominal fee though.

You got a pic you can share of a TE with with a polished lip?

 

...yea im on there

they don't always show all the option, you just have to ask them when you order

i can't really tell the difference besides the spokes on my TE's being a bit flatter than my LE's

these spokes look a bit flat to me so i think it maybe TE's

 

...also if thats not a TE above, i don't mind if you dont believe me =)

 

he's got a point, looks like te's to me because it has that flat front on top of the small lip

 

Those look like TE's for sure...

Nice.
