Default LE37 with offset +12?? HELP needed

Hi Guys,

I'm going to order my Volk racing LE37 with size front 19 x 9.5 offset +12 and rear 19 x 10.5 with offset +22. The problem is my Z its a track version, so not sure whether the front wheels with offset +12 will fit in without hitting the brembo breaks?
Anyone with LE37 running offset +12,Help please...


cheers,
Jerry

19x9.5 wit +12 will stick out of the front wheel wells. I have 19x9.5 +21 and they stick out just a touch but looks perfect no rubbing. That set-up will stick out by like a centimeter.

the +12 should fit fine, its not the offset that clears the calipers but the spoke design. Since the LE's seem to clear the OEM brembos fine then the ones in a lower offset should do the same.

The pad thickness is what determines weather it will clear the brakes or not. 9.5 +12? Wow!!! I wouldn't go that route.

I remember when the member "M77erlin" or something like that had LE37's in 19x9.5 +12 and 19x10.5 +22 on his G35 coupe with Brembo brakes. He used a 3mm spacer in front to clear the Brembos, but once he switched to a different BBK he did not need the spacer...

You might need quite a bit of negative camber to make +12 work. I am 95% sure it should fit the brembos. Best of luck, +12 is not for everyone

Yeah, but those wheels stick out like a low rider in a Dr. Dre video on the front of his car. The stretched tires make it look not so bad. On a street car that is just crazy.

I have 9.5" LE37T's on the front with +22 and they are flush if not sticking out just a little with about 1" of drop.

I'm afraid to do a camber kit up front because I don't want to mash my fenders.

I put 18x10.5 +22 on my car before with 285/30/18 and no problem for my track setup.. pretty much 18x10.5 +22 is the same as 18x9.5 +12 so is the same as 19x9.5 +12.. Also the +12 will clear over stock brembo & any other BBK..

better to get offset +22. It'll line up with ethe fender evenly. +22 will clear BBK for sure. Same as +12.

Default 9.5 +12

obviously there would not be an issue with brake caliper clearance, since its a lower offset, you can fit +22 on that set up , ur totally fine, theres a black z with le37t that has 9.5 +12 up front, he says its " coveted" hahh , anywasy, i think its an EMOTION CAR.
