Rays TE37s offset Question, +12 or +22 or ??

Gee · 05-27-2010, 10:55 PM

Hi everyone,

Fristly, am enjoying this forum immensely, I have the 2009 model w/18" wheels.

Just have a Q about the Rays Engineering Volk Racing model TE37 in matt black. Just love that tough look on the monterey blue colour.

Anyway - just wanted to check what offset to get, the +12 or +22 or ??

Keep in mind that I'm looking at either AP Racing calipers and vented rotors w/ SS brake lines and so forth or maybe the Brembos in the near future.
Is that even worthwhile? the Akebono's that Nissan use are not bad in their own right...for track time, I mean

I am in Sydney Australia and love what you bro's in the states are doing with your Z's.

Hey Gee, welcome! you might first wanna post this in the right section. There is a wheels/tire section and you will definitely get much more replies there. As far as the offset goes, the default TE setup that most here get is 19x9.5 +22 f, 19x10.5 +12 r. They will clear the big brake kit. Keep us posted and post up some pics!!

That's the setup that Ryan @ Forged did for me. And you're right they do look good on the blue, don't they?

Are those Volks or Varrstoens? It only looks like the Varrstoens because of the center caps.

You know Tony, the only thing I'd say left to do, is find someone who will crack open your rear lights, and get them painted just like the front... They stand out sooo much now, almost makes them look out of place??

MUST · 05-30-2010, 04:12 PM

they are authentic volks (i dont support wheel replicas), those are volk flat caps, running 255/35 front n 285/35 rear, and didn't roll or pull any fender.

and thanks guys
