Default Finally mounted my TE37 SLs

I dont post here much as the search option is my friend

however, since i bothered a bunch of you through PM's for me to choose the tire and rim specs that I would be happy with, i thought i would at least share the end result of all those questions.

yes, i know that car looks like a 4x4 and that's why im sharing only one pic! Coilovers will be arriving next month.

I will be putting on the volk stickers it came with though just got too tired. I think i got buff removing all four tires and mounting all of these under the desert sun.

let me know what you think!




thanks to vividracing for the smooth transaction!

Rims:

9.5x19 +22
10.5x19 +12

Tires:

255/35
275/35

285 was suggested, but I dint want to risk it just yet. once i do the drop, and see that there is enough space for the wheel to travel then i will sorta upgrade it

I'm confused ... You custom ordered that setup?
Who gave you this advice?

does it matter who?

nothing "custom" about it as it is readily available though i wanted to make sure that i would be happy with the outcome and that i had accounted for everything.

Considering the sl's come in some some unique sizes
I'm surprised you ordered them in the manner in which
You did.

Personally I would have gone with the most aggressive
18x10.5" f and 18x11" r - frankly I thought that was pretty
Obvious when they released the sizing chart.

Previously the te was not available in our lug pattern in an
11" width. That was the only unique change aside from the
Slight redesign.

Your setup will look far better once you sort the suspension.

were the 11's available from the release date of the SLs? i dont remember seeing them. i guess its way too late now.. but oh well, happy with what i have now and i will consider YOUR advise in the future.

happy now?

by the way, why would you choose the 18x11's apart from them being new to the TE line up?

Are you sure the offsets aren't the other way around? If not, I wonder what the difference in lip and spoke design is between the 19x10.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +12. Either way, the wheels look great OP!

the te37sl is really advanced - very high end design, significant evolution,
super low weight, high strength/quality materials ...

there are not a lot of forged wheels in 18x11" at the going price point with
this amount of awesome built in.
