Volks TE37

Hi everyone,
Im just about to purchase some Volks TE37 and was wondering if you guys could double check the offsets. (Cant afford a expensive mistake!!)

I just need to know if the following will fit without rolling the guards / rubbing anything. The car will be on TRD springs.

Front:
17x7.5 - 215/40/17 - Offset:32

Rear:
17.8.5 - 235/40/17 - Offset: 38

Many thanks in advance everyone!

Fronts are very close to the fender (+29 7.5" is considered by many to be flush with the front fender lip), you should be fine though, Rears will fit without issue.

I second RePete.

Where are you getting them? Not unheard of to see offsets not on the spec list, but it is uncommon.

I'd just get the 7.5 +40 and 8.5 +40 if I didn't want to roll (which are on the spec list) or the 7.5 +30 and 8.5 +30 if I didn't mind rolling (also on the spec list).

Standard availability:

Thanks for the help!

One of the MR2 forum members in Australia organises shipments time to time straight from japan and he had a few wheel sets which included the TE37's.

Unfortunately the wheels got sold before i could arrange to buy them

I'll probably will head down the the local wheel stores now to see whats available in 40 offsets now (Cheers for the advice)

I'm assuming smaller width sizes would have no issues too? 17x7 & 17x8

Staying with the same offsets, smaller width is fine, but I'd stick with 7.5 and 8.5 with those tire sizes.
