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)

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
