need help.i just bought a TE37 with +50 offset for my 05TL 6mt.they said it would clear my brembos but its rubbing it..can anyone help?

 

You needed 19 x 8.8 +43 offset... That fitment is KNOWN here to clear, as many have run them already.

A 3-5mm wheel spacer should fix you up though.

 

thanks kennedy.where can i buy the spacers.do i just tell them spacers with 5mm?can i install them?

 

Most wheel shops... ebay, etc. They just sit between the hub and wheel. I'd try a 3mm first. How close is the rubbing?

 

its touching the rims when im mounting it.what are the specs of the wheel spacer for the 05 tl w/ brembos?

 

i went to wheel warehouse and they told me that,ven though with the 5mm spacers fine,its the lug nuts that have the problem coz it only turning 3x and thats not really safe.it sucks right now coz the guy who sold it to me said it fits.well ill just try to sell it just to get my money back.do you guys think it'll be easy to sell it?

 

here are the rims.ive even cleaned it right away when i got it.

Those look sweet. Why not replace the lug stems(bolts longer) and use the 5mm spacer.

Those wheels look great with the polished lip and black center. Plus VERY light, HIGH

QUALITY wheels !!!

 

ya thats what the seller told me.would that be safe?replacing the lug stems and putting a 5mm spacer?

 

Maybe a little off topic, but when I ordered a set of wheels and tires from TireRack, I stressed that I had Brembos, and insisted they write on the order ticket that THEY guaranteed clearance. When the wheels came, they did not clear. When I informed TireRack, they were all apologies, immediately sent me shipping materials and pre-paid UPS labels and issued me a full refund including my shipping costs. They assumed full responsibility, and could not have been more professional about the entire ordeal.

MORAL...If I were you I'd talk the the seller and ask for my $$$ back. They assured a fit, and it's thier responsibility since they do not clear your brakes. IMO, spacers are unsafe and personally, I'd be scared of losing a wheel every time I took an off-ramp at high speed with them on my hubs. The wheels don't fit. Period. Send 'em back.

 

This is true, if you don't want them now, the seller SHOULD refund your money, but

who's going to pay shipping back? The spacers are fine and safe at 5mm. If you get

longer studs and space the wheels 5mm there will be no problems. But going much higher

on spacing I wouldn't do. IMO... If you really LOVE the wheels, don't worry about a 5mm

spacer, as long as your studs are long enough to turn I think is 6-7 turns with the lug nut

on the stud.. The wheel WON'T fall off.

 

Yup I really love it.the seller said he can't give back the money and I only picked it up.but there's some guys offering me good price but I'm still having doubts of selling coz I was thinking of trading my car to an 07 tl.where can I find shop that replaces the studs?if I can't find I just might sell it if there's some more good offer.sucks though.

 

Out of the topic though...just got pissed.A guy emailed me telling me that I was asking too much for the rims and said that he's got same rims w/tires and everything for $1200.I was like so pissed and told him to send me pics if its the same.can you get rims like what I have for that price?I just don't believe it!
