I am looking to score a set of TE-37 rims. Anyone have valid pricing?

Front: 18 x 9.5
Rear: 18 x 11 (275mm...is 11 right? Or is it 10.5??)

I have looked around and found them for $400 but have no idea what to think of that price as high or low.

thanks in advance to anyone with info!

 

Where did you find them for $400?

 

Please.....where did you find them for $400?

 

A site called oVerboost or similar? I take it by the way you guys said that that 400 is low =\

Also, any ideas about the sizing?

 

IMO, you are asking for some steering and suspension problems with wheels that wide. There is a lot of information on Tirerack.com regarding wheel width and size. Do some home work and see what you can learn.

 

what do you mean by 275mm? are you talking about width of tread? if so 275tread goes with 9.5" rims... otherwise Ive only heard of 10.5" no 11 that I know of.

best price Ive seen was approx 500$ each and that was for 8.5 and 9.5 combo.

 

just jumped over to overboost.com

they have 18x8.5, 9, 9.5; dont show that they sell anything bigger than 9.5, tho I know they are made.

they are getting 570-580 each depending on width

 

I know what tires I am getting. I like wide tires. I know that handling issues won't be that big a deal in reality, but I am aware that they will exist compared to smaller tires.

I am going to get a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.

Front: 245/40
Rear: 275/40

What size rims do I need to get then? I don't understand what the difference would really be, it is confusing me a lot...what is the fitting difference going to be?

I just want these rims and these tires, please help! I don't need a lecture on how wide tires will affect handling as I know this already.

Sizing is my concern, I just don't understand what size rims I need for the size tires I want.

 

Get 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. The tires should then fit perfectly.

 

thanks!

 

Syphon- I'm running 8.5F and 9.5R (19"), you should be OK with the tires you listed.

 

thats what I have, I even have the eagle F1 on the rear. works great.

 

go for 9.5" front, 10.5" rear...that setup looks sweet, and the tires you have will fit....only thing is you'll have to roll the fender in the rear

 

on a scale of 1 to 10, how much better are the F1's than stock tires?

 

what do you mean roll the fender??? please explain...


will the car handle 9.5" without "rolling"? why did he say I'd be able to use 9.5" if you're saying 10.5? what is the difference?

 

you can use 9.5 inches wide in the back, or 10.5 inches in the back, the 10.5's look better though IMO because you get a lip with bent spokes, rolling the fender means that the 1/2" piece of metal that extends horizontally on the inside of your fender will either need to be "rolled" up (as in bent), or cut down a little bit to fit the 10.5 inch rim in the wheel well so it doesnt rub.
