Seeking fitment info on TE37 15X8 +38/+35

Post by Orlandodc2 » Sun May 20, 2018 12:11 pm

Hello, I will hopefully be purchasing a set of TE 37 15x8 +32 in early june for my 98 itr. My goals with these wheels are:
1. To clear spoon twin block calipers with no spacers.
2. I would like to prevent any rolling to the fenders or rear quarter panels.
3. I like the concave look 15x8 +27,+35,+32 give

Could anyone shed some light into what wheel and tire combo could achieve these goals? I would also be open to 15x7 if they can meet those goals.

I havnt been able to find much info aside that the:
15x8 +27 require fender rolling.

Volk TE-37 [15x7, +35 offset]
Volk TE-37's [15x8, +43 offset] both fit with no spacers But I am not sure if they achive the concave face that 15x8 +32 achieve. From the ICB pics the 15x7 +35 looks a bit flat. But I yet to see any of these on a car.

Thanks in advance. The specific reason im asking about the 15x8 +32 is because thats what is in stock at ICB. I Have no problem with having to wait on a back order tho. Pictures with wheel and tire specs is highly encouraged :D

Volk TE-37's [15x8, +43 offset]
Volk TE-37's [15x8, +35 offset]
Volk TE-37's [15x8, +32 offset]
Volk TE-37's [15x8, +28 offset]

16"
Volk TE-37 [16x7, +42 offset]

Rims that don't clear without a spacer:
15''
Volk TE-37 [15x6.5, +39 offset] requires a 8mm spacer
Volk TE-37 [15x7, +43 offset] requires a 6mm spacer
2.) Whether or not wheels require rolling depends on several variables:
-Offset
-Ride height
-Camber
-Tire width
*Note, stated tire width varies. Read more here: [Tire Information Thread

3.) Lower offset 15x8's will offer more concave.

I just realizes I had posted that 15x8 +38 required fender rolling, I ment to say 15x8 +27 do. Does anyone have pictures of what 15x8 +38 look like? As far as the concave look goes

Lower offset designs typically offer more concave. Where as higher offset tend to be more flat.

I am confirming whether +38 15x8 5x114 TE’s were produced.

Some guy on FB was unloading a bunch of 15x8 +38 a few months or so back.

This was right after ICB delivered their +35 batch
