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)

lol... he got them from japan :action-smiley-069:

Which means... since volk are backlogged with orders, he will only get them in Jan next year. Worth the wait tho

PM Blackzila if you looking for the japan contact. He is a pretty good guy, and really helpful too. Can get you just about anything

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
