I'm going to be buying a set of Volk TE37 in gun metal. What offset do you guys suggest? Also, what tires do you think i should run if im going to be running a turbo? I want a lot of contact in the rear (I know that sounds funny but shhhhhhh)

i would also like to know whats the best offsets to get for this rim.

thanks!!

What size are you guys planning on going with. There arent many choices, each diameter has only one offset i believe that will remotely close.

I just got a set of 16 x 7 42mm front and 16 x 8 46mm rear.

I wanna go with 17 x 7.5 and 17 x 9+ or whatever combo that they make.

isnt that offset a little on the low side?

Well, as i said, there really arent any options once you figure out what diameter you want go with. So yes, they are pretty aggressive offset, but they also offer a lot more clearance for bigger brakes.

The 17s come in 7.5 for the front and 8.5 in the rear. I believe they are 48mm and 50mm respectively. Again, not ideal, but many on the board are running them.

doc, do you know if they would they stick out with that offset?

depends on the tires, but ideally, yes they will stick out a tad or sit flush with the outside of the fender...

It does depend on tire size. Im getting two different size tires, so i ll let you know in about a week and get you some pics as well.

Im running a 43mm offset in the front on the same size wheel currently and have no problems at all, even while being lowered.
