Volk LE-37's

I think the only lower offset than +22 on the TE's is +12
I read in the past that some people have problems fitting that under the wheel well without some rolling and creative tire choices.. It looks to me like with +12 you get a bigger lip.. the spokes look the same in terms of concaveness
This G35 has +12's .. not sure of the widths tho.. it's team emotion's G35..

I dont have Volks (unless you count the Track Rays), but my observations are similar to yours, it seems most do go with the +22 setup in the rear.
That said, the only reason I can think as to why one would go with a 10.5 rear with a higher offset is to accommodate a larger tire width, is this the case? I always wonder why one would purchase a performance wheel and opt for an undersized tire in the name of looks and fit. For instance, I run a 255 on the Rays 8.5" track rear, and most folks here run a 275 series on a 10.5 in wheel. Two inches more wheel width, only 20mm more tire. Go figure.

^ I HAVE seen the LE37s offered in a +35 rear offset in a 10.5" wheel. This is ideal for me, especially if I want to run 295's in the rear. But I'm curious if anyone has maybe a +26 to +30.... that would even be better. Anyways, the +22 is not ideal. Mike, looking for HIGHER offsets then +22, not lower.

no way homie. +22 with 295's will not work unless I slam the car, cut the fenders, run neg camber, and slam the car. I need beefier rear tires to handle the HP, not to mention the most contact I can get to the ground.

I've only seen 1 or 2 people run the 10.5 +35 offfset in the rear. It looks the same as the +22 but the spokes aren't as concave. Mike's white G35 pictured above has the normal +22 10.5 in the rear, and a 9.5 +12 in the front.

Do you mind taking a look at my thread "Offset and rim depth question?" Give me your opinion on that as the two guys that have responded seem confused....or maybe its me?

You do realize the G35 also has a wider wheel well then the 350z, right? The G35 pictured above is probably running 275 series tires AND the camber appears to be slightly more negative then stock which is probably helping with the clearance. MOST ppl who do the TE37's with the +22 offset do 275 width tires. It has the stretched look, and it isnt for me. The +35 series rear offsets may look like the +22, as far as flushness goes, but the other factors are different (such as tire choice options).

I want at least 295's, so no.. +22 won't be ideal. Those who are running 285s with +22 have tires in the rear that are not flush and come a bit OUTSIDE of the wheel well, which I absolutely despise. They also are probably running a bit negative camber to make it work.

Shows the setup. I'm trying to find his thread about camber etc.

^ I just love the LE's, should have goten them from the beginning. The iforged I picked up are similar spoke design as the LE's. But anyways, just thinking about this for now... not saying I will actually pick a set up....
