Le37t differences?

Hi all, I am in the process of purchasing a g35, and I really like the le37ts in gunmetal, but I have noticed a difference in styles which has me confused on what to look for when searching for the right fitment on a g. Seems as if some of the spoke are straight like this:

while some bend in like this:

I like the second set better, but I was wondering what the difference is. Sorry if I stole your pics also if those owners have a problem I can take them down. Thanks everyone.

straight spoke= TE37T's

The ones that have that inside bend look = LE37T's.

I plan to buy some nice silver ones .. as soon as I find out if they fit on the Supra as well.

that blue car used to be my. It's all about offsets. TE37 LE37 has nothing to do with the way the rim curves. TE37's are all one color, LE37 has a polished lip. The lower the offset, the more concave it'll get. The silver g has 18's also. To get the most concave look youre gona have to go with 19x9.5 front +22 offset and 19x10.5 rear +22 offset. Offsets like +34 etc will give more straight spokes.

With the 19X9.5 +22 fronts and 19X10.5 +22 rears, would you mount them on 245/35/19 fronts and 275 or 285/35/19 rears? I'm wondering if 285's will be ok on the back while running stock suspension setup. I've heard 275's will look stretched when mounted on 10.5" width rims. Will they look flushed with the car's body or stick out beyond the fenders? Trying to figure out what will work best.

ahh nooo stock suspension! must lowerrrr! anyways, i have these wheels, and a lot of it depends on what tire you run. i run s03's and i had to do a bit of fender work to prevent it from rubbing. i was lowered a little bit and i had 275/35 on a 10.5 inch rim.

I'm gonna leave the suspension stock. Wasn't planning on rolling the fenders. Not lowered = less pimp = slightly more driveable over speed bumps. Also was worried about carrying rear passengers and any potential rubbing issues. Hopefully, at stock height, I won't have these issues. BTW, I'm going with Toyo T1R's 245/35 fr and 275/35 r. Hopefully they'll look ok when mounted on the car. I rather have a slight wheel gap than any rubbing.
