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)

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
