Hey guys I just picked up some replica volk te37's and I was hoping if some currently owners of te37 or replicas would post pics of their setups and tires sizes. I am trying to decide what tire size would be right for me with my +12 offsets and have talked to vendors and received suggestions from 245/30 front and 275/30 in the rear to 245/35 and 275/35. I am looking to tuck the top of my tire just a bit so I would rather see some pictures of people actually running this kind of setup and their pictures. Please include tire sizes and camber if possible.

edit: sorry could have sworn I put rim sizes but here they are:
fronts: 19x9.5" +12
rears: 19x10.5" +12

Looking for a somewhat aggressive setup but trying to get better camber specs out of these than my oem 19's (-3 fronts and -4 rears)

 

Search O HELLA OEM he has the te37's +12 offset

 

Thanks, but I have watched his car progress and while it is amazing, it isn't exactly what I am going for in terms of dropped height. I am planning on dropping somewhat close to what I am currently at with my oem 19's and with his tire sizes it doesn't look like that would be possible. For reference here is a pic of somewhat the height I am looking for with te37 owners.

 

You're aware you didn't post the widths of your wheels right....

Do you want to poke or what? I really don't know what you're saying.

 

Sorry, could have sworn I put that info in but I guess I had a brain fart. Here are the wheel specs:
fronts: 19x9.5" +12
rears: 19x10.5" +12

I am looking for a bit of poke as well as a somewhat aggressive tire setup, I do however want to get a bit better camber out of these than my oem's which are currently -3 in the fronts and -4 in the rears. I have spc f/r camber kits but with my oem's I didn't even bother installing the front kit because I wasn't able to adjust the camber to be more positive without rubbing the stock tire size.

Btw I am on coils and can raise/lower the car to whatever height would allow these specs but I would like to try to keep at least a bit of tire tuck while doing so.

 

Do you wanna stretch?

 

yes, but only to the truly necessary amounts. I am not a big fan of just stretching as much as possible just for the look and not necessarily for the need to make it fit.

Oh and I would like to add that I would like to be able to soften my dampening up a bit. Currently it is run at 8 turns from full stiff (f&f coils). Although this helped me not have a problem rubbing as much on my stock tires it does tend to crush my spleen at times...

 

I have 245/35/19 front +12 and 275/35/19 rear +12 rear.

 

hey man sorry if my car wasn't in the shop you could've seen it while you were picking up the bumper, with the +12's you gonna have to go with either a 255 or a 265 in the rear to stretch it a little cuz with the 275's i have i rub on bumps on the freeway, also you should get your fenders rolled also

 

235/35 front 255/35 rear

 

Ya I was hoping I could check out your car, when it gets out you should post some pics! Rear fenders are rolled already.
Thanks, this is what I was suspecting and I thought the tire sellers were more just trying to cover themselves by recommending such larger tires. Do you prefer a certain brand for tires/stretching? I previously had yoko s.drives but I heard those aren't very good for stretching. I was recommended falkens but I am also interested in hankoon v12s. I want to try to keep the ability to flip the tires to help with camber if necessary.

for sure man, i have some in my garage pics but not rear up close of the fitment and everything

i should get her back by tuesday so i'll some pics up then for you

 

Thanks a lot for bearing with me and the help. Just got them on today and still need to adjust my height and install my front camber kit and get it aligned. 5zigen red anodized lugs are on there way as well. Here are a few quick photos from my iphone, this was before I cleaned them after getting them installed.

 

Looks nice!!

 

So you went with 235/35 front 255/35 rear? That seems like a pretty big stretch, I'm going with a 9.5+13/10.5+13 setup soon and was going to run 245/35 and 275/35. Not planning to go as low as you though...hmm, decisions.
