Hi guys,

I'm looking at buying some new wheels and am thinking about getting some TE37's.

The sizes I have chosen are (F)18x8.5 +22 and ®18x9.5 +35.

My question is, what will these wheels actually look like? As in the angle of the spokes? Will they be tapering inwards slightly (similar to a GTR offset but not as aggressive) or will they be totally flat faced?

The spoke angle kinda depends on the rim width and offset, so if they are huge (like mine) they should have a good angle, thin wheels will be flatter. The ones on mine are 9.5s, so you should get a pretty good angle

you will have a flatter offset for the rear and a really aggressive spoke angles for the front

those are very odd sized offsets to choose...make sure you get it right before buying them, id be looking at going something closer to +30, +28 or +25 for the rear...use the offset calculator to figure out how far you will need to go!

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replys.

hawker05: I agree with you about going something more like +30,+28,+25 for the rear but for 18x9.5 TE37's there is no offset between +22 and +35. I think +22 may stick out a bit too much, but would have the aggressive look....

I was also thinking about 9" wide but in 18's there is ONLY +40 :thumbsup:

Anyway here is the TE37 size sheet, if any one has any other ideas..

Just ordered them on sat...

I ended up going 18x8.5 +22 18x9.5 +22 Bronze. The back will definately need some pumping and maybe also a bit at the front.

Heres a pic of my car, should look something like this :P;) (dodgy Paint Shop Pro)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
