According the rays info 10.5 +15 is Face 1, 10.5 + 0 will be Face 2...... I'm wonder if 10.5 -40 will fit and if it will be aggressive enough??

I stand corrected youre correct. As for 10.5-40 that is going to need a wide body kit to fit.

10.5+0 is going to be agressive and will likely need anfender roll. The 10.5+15 will be more flushed. the 10.5-25 is going to poke out unless you run retarded amount of camber.

Hey everyone,

I recently acquired a set of TE37s, and I had a quick question for you guys. Please bear with me, I've been researching but I haven't found a solid answer yet. Basically I'm looking to add a new set of TPMS sensors to these because the previous owner never had it done. Do I need a bracket/adapter if I'm using a Volk valve stem?

When I had my Volk GT-S wheels, I used this and it was perfect. From what I understand (based off the reading I've done) - With the TE37s, I don't believe I need anything, it should be TPMS-compatible already. HOWEVER, I don't want to use my OEM valve stem so I think I need to look for a bracket/adapter for my blue Volk one?

The GT-S valve stem is entirely different than the TE's. I do not believe you can incorporate those bracket adapters to the TE valve stem like you did for the GT-S's. To answer your question, the stock TPMS's will mount onto the one piece mono block TE's without needing any brackets. I tried this before and decided to go with the Volk's blue valve stem versus the OEM TPMS because the blue valve stem looks so purty.

IMO - it boils down to functionality/ugly valve stem with OEM or pretty valve stem/no functionality with Volk.

Gahhh, that was the bad news I was hoping to NOT hear lol. It's just so damn sexy that I can't part ways with it

I'll call up the shop who put those bracket adapters on my GT-S wheels and see if they'd think it would also work with the TE37s. Coincidentally, they're a Volk Distributor so maybe they'll know of a solution. I know banding the sensors onto the wheels is sort of frowned upon, but it's looking like that might be the only option left if I want to keep using the purrrty blue Volk valve stem

I can understand why you'd want to use the OEM TPMS. The damn low tire pressure light (!) was driving me crazy. Thanks to my good friend P&K350z who helped me resolve the light issue by taping a square piece of an electrical tape over the low tire pressure symbol inside the gauge cluster and bam... no more light

That light actually caught a severe leak I had in one of my tires on my GT-S wheels which saved it from being absolutely wrecked on the interstate I was about to get on. I'll figure out something here hopefully.

But yeah, the light bugs when there's no sensors currently in the wheels LOL

Over the years, I developed a good habit of always looking over my tires before cruising. And since my car is low, if I scrape (more than usual) leaving the garage and drive way... is a good indicator my tires are low.
