Default Advice on new te37

Ok guys, so i found a great deal on some te37s but theyre only 18x9 +15 all around, i really wanted to go with somewhat of a staggered offset with more of an aggressive look, but when your gettin the whole set NEW for a little under a grand(volk company closing down in cali).. Im thinkin maybe some spacers in the back, stretched and staggered tires, slam it, and call it a day?! What yall think??

That will work.

Figure 255 mm tire on 9.0 inch wheel. Go 255 plus or minus 20 mm. That will get you the staggered look that you want.

A whole set new for under $1K? Something's fishy.

18x9 all around would be good for a 265 but wouldn't look the best!

get the set for cheap, sell them, buy a set in the sizes you want.


you'll need to do a little leg work, but buying them for so cheap will definitely net you a profit if you flip them

1) Post a link

2) Explain your "Volk company closing down in Cali" comment

3) Most likely Varostten (Volk replicas)

Haha ok just to clarify, im getting them through one of my good friends who works for summit racing. So he kinda got the inside scoop on one of the local volk distributors going out of business and got his hands on a couple of sets for dirt cheap, and gave me a call. Today i went to check them out, everything looks legit! I suppose i could flip them, its just that you dont really find deals on volks like this everyday.

Take the deal for sure man. Stretch the tires, buy coilovers with the cash you saved on the wheels. It will look good. What color are they?

I can't find pics of that size by searching google... also, Ray's Foundry does not currently list that size/offset combo (but maybe they made it in the past ).

However, I do find that size/offset combo for the replicas. The price is also in line with the reps as well.

Proceed with caution, OP.

Is there any way you can tell for sure by looking at them whether or not they are legit or replica? Also do yall think the 18x9 15off would be flush in the front and maybe a 10mm spacer in the rear could get it closer to a staggered flush fit?

You guys are makin me nervous haha
