That purple color goes really well with silver / gray. Good choice on brake color. Also please post a pic of your license plate so I can come to your house and steal your rear wing, thanks

LMAO!! The sad part is that I'm starting to have to watch my mail/packages when they arrive because someone stole one of my boxes in the time it took for me to sign for it... go back in my room and throw a T shirt and sandals on... come back and my box from GTM was gone!!! The other box was my HKS engine cover worth more than $1200 and the **** suckers stole the $320 GTM box.

^ wish I had the cojones to go that low. I think I might be sticking with 275/35's in the back so it looks a little better at higher ride height (i.e. with tops of the tires just about even with the fender arches)

Yea you might end up kicking yourself later if you go with 265's and have gap because your not lower. I enjoy my 275's just wish I could go lower and have a slight rake.

Yeah when the front and rear wheel gaps are even you tend to lose that slight rake forward. I feel the same way, I like the forward rake that the car has from the factory and wanted to maintain that when I lowered the car, so the result is having the front tires slightly tucked while the rears have a slight gap. Also I hate the look of the rear tires being super tucked when the car squats while accelerating....I'd rather set it up so there is a little gap and the tire becomes vertically even with the wheel arch when the rear end squats down.

Anyway that's all off-topic, but I think it's settled: 275/35/19 rears it is. I might stick with 255/35/19 fronts because I like they way they look on the 9.5 width wheels.

Be warned that some tires are more square than others. PS2's run more square while V12's run less square. The sizes you picked are solid but a 255 might require a little pull in the front... I rubbed like hell with 255-35-19 Pirelli PZeros but my car is lower than most that aren't HellaFlushed.

Thanks for the heads-up. I should have mentioned, I'm currently running 255/35/19 Toyo T1R's at +17 offset, lowered on coilovers (just barely tucking front tire) and within OEM front camber settings, and as far as I can tell there is no rubbing. I think I could go to +12 net offset leaving all other things the same and get away with no issues, but we shall see. I'm actually thinking about getting V12's for my next set for price consideration.

I had a set of V12's and they were a good set of tires.

For the TE37, here are some general guidelines for sizes in our offsets:

  • 18" will have more concavity, and no cast in lettering. Very small lip. To me, it's a great look!
  • 19" will have flatter faces with cast in lettering.
    • The rears in 10.5 with a +22 or a +12 will have a nice fat lip.
      • +22 will be easiest to fit wider tires, if you plan on dropping much a simple fender roll will get you the clearance you need. I ran 285 on a +22 rear with a 2" plus drop with nothing more than a fender roll
      • +12 will be more "flush" to the body and will require more work to fit a wider tire. If you want the "hellaflush" look go +12 with a 255 tire.
    • The fronts in 9.5 have a big difference in look for a +22 vs a +12
      • +22 will have a small lip, but plenty of room for a fat tire. 255 front tire or larger is generally fine.
      • +12 will have fat lip that matches the rear lip, however there are clearance issues and you will be running a 245 or 255 max front tire, with the possible need for adjustable camber front a-arms if you are lowering. Also, if you have the stock Brembo brakes and want to run the +12 fronts, you will need a 3mm spacer for brake clearance. If you are going for "hellaflush", you will want this offset with maybe a 225 - very "aggressive" look and spacers will push it out more.
    • Another option for the front is to run a 10.5 +22 up there... you will have the same fitment issues as a 9.5 +12 and I think need the 3mm spacer for Brembo. In essence, a 10.5 +22 is a 9.5 +12 with the extra inch in width added to the inboard of the rim, if that makes any sense.
I think that about covers it.

great info!!!!!!!
