Thread needs revival.

 

Awesome!

 

Hydralisk, if I may ask....it seems that you are running +12s? If you are, could you give your tire specs and camber specs please?

 

Thanks!

I dont know camber specs, I didnt get an alignment yet. I rolled fenders and they say you need about -1 to -2 degrees of camber.

I added stop tech - but I want to get them powder coated grey...

 

wheel/tire spec ^ ??? did you roll? how much camber in back if any?

I've got 18x8.5 w/22 offset - 275/40 rear / 275/35 front no camber adj No rubbing at all.

Wow, that looks really good DaProdigy

 

Hi Alvin, did you find the answer to your question?

I am on a set of TE37 TA, 19" 9.5 and 10.5 +22 and I am planning to change to TE37 MAG 18".

As the MAG rims are not cheap, I hope to get it right this time. Going for 18" mainly for weight and tyre choice/cost consideration.

As I am going 18" with the MAG, possibility 9.5 and 10.5, I am wondering how "concave" will the spokes be. I perfer the spokes being as concave as the 19" 10.5 +22 compared to 19" 9.5 +22.

I am wondering if anyone here can advise how would the following dimensions of the rim affect the concaveness of the spokes.

1. Width - 9.5 VS 10.5 - 10.5 is more concave, I know this coz I have 9.5 for front and 10.5 rear. I really like the 10.5 look.

2. Diameter - 18" VS 19" - Any advise?

3. Offset - +12 VS +22 - Any advise?


I will really be glad to obtain something like the 380RS-C. Are those TE37 what dimension are they?

 

Umm, i've owned a set of te37's/le37's in the 9.5/10.5 combo and the concavity was exactly the same. They only difference was that the 10.5 had a larger 'lip/dish' to compensate for the added width. THe angle of the spokes remained the same. So you might wanna double check that.

Unless of course you had the ultra concave te37's, which i had a set in 10.5 all around, which maintained the same 'lip/dish' as the 9.5's but compensated the extra width by increase the angle of concavity.



EDIT: btw the te's in that picture you posted, look very similar to my 10.5's with the ultra concave... which makes me think its a 10.5 with maybe a +15 or +18 offset so he can fit those beefy tires without widebody.

although, im just speculating. hope that helps.

 

18" TEs dont have much lip the the width and low offsets make them look very concave
the wheels on the 380rs look to be 18"

For sure the 10.5 is more concave than the 9.5 at least in the offsets that I have
I have 10.5 +15 rear and 9.5 +12 front

It appears that the 380rs may be running a square setup because the conacvity looks the same for the front and rear

As for the 19" TE i think they only change the lip size for the different widths and offset

 

Get a set of 18" TE37s with 9.5" +12 for the front and 10.5" +15 for the rear.


You'll get the super sick concavity that you're looking for.

 

For comparison, take a look at this pic attached,

White is 18" 10.5j +15
Bronze is 17" 10J +18

Any rubbing with 18" 9.5 +12 and 10.5 +15.
Why not +12 at the rear as well?

What is the tyre specs and camber specs to go with it for no rubbing?


350z_Gio>>>

Yes, I think the 380rsc is on 18".

I did some reading on google and found out how they determine the dimension for a wheel.

Width / 2 = 0 offset

and any positive offset sets the hub further out towards the outside edge of the rim (less agreesive) and vice versa for negative offset.

By that, I don't think its only the lip size for is changed.

 

What is the lug of choice for you mag blue owners?
