For those owners who have equipped their Zs with Volk TE37SLs, I'm interested in knowing the amount of "poke" that occurs on the front wheels. Using a number of different wheel offset calculators that are available on-line, if I compare the stock set-up of the sport version equipped with the 9" wide
19" wheels and a +47 offset fitted with 245/40/R19 tires to the TE37SL set-up with 9 1/2" wide 19" wheels and a +22 offset fitted with tires of the same size, the calculations show the TE37 wheels sticking out further than the stock wheels by about 31 mm. That's like placing a 30 mm spacer on the stock wheels ... which I would think would create a good deal of poke. I've looked at some of the pics of this set-up, and the poke isn't that obvious. However, sometimes pics can be deceiving. So my question is to those who actually have this set-up, and if they could please comment on whether the TE37s stick out noticeably beyond the fender edge since I would like an after-market wheel set-up that avoids significant poke. Thanks for your input.
