9.5 rear will be heaps easier. And you can run the 275 R888 on it no problem. I have run it on my car. Also a 8.5 +30 will 'look' better than a +40 as the face won't be so flat.

275 on my 9.5"

TE37 only comes in a +40 for front though and not keen on a 10mm spacer :(

Had a look at all the TE37 models and all have either the front or rear in wrong offset

Hey Guys,

Now looking at getting a set of Work wheels.

The sizes available are:

18x9 +30 +38

18x10 +18 +38

I want a 245 on front and a 275 Toyo R888 on rear.

Can anyone tell me if that will work with the 18x9+30 and 18x10+38?

FG Sedan.

If won't fit, maybe a <5mm spacer on rear?

Hey Tom I've got vskfs in 18x10 +33 and the rears just fit but are 2mm off the suspension bolts

It all depends on the inside of the wheel as mine have a groove but just clears the bolts which sit inside the rim when fitted

Thanks for the info mate.

So my rims will sit 5mm further in from guard, and 5mm closer to suspension strut.

I'm thinking of using a control blade inset spacer like a few others have done to give more inner clearance.

With mine being 5mm in from the gaurds compared to yours, would I need to roll with 275s?

Depends on the brand of tyre but I rolled my guards as a precaution. Im still running fk453 rear which are more like a 295 and it scrubs slightly when cornering hard with ppl in the back but is fine most of the time.

This is on standard height though

Yeah I'm planning on running a 275 R888 which I'm told are a big tyre...

Why can't good looking jap wheels come in the right offsets for our Aussie falcons? :(

Well actually here are alot of them that will fit and they are available in many or custom offsets. It's just that most people don't want to pay for them.

Not real keen on copies.

The problem isn't that I don't want to pay for them FIXR7.

I was willing to fork out over 3k for TE37s but I've triple checked every varient on the Ray's site and none of them will work both front and rear. Keep in mind I'm set on running 275 R888s on the rear, have a lot of power I need to get down.

I'm all for suggestions of other wheels if anyone has them?

I've looked at Varrstoens, Rays, Lensos (could go D1R but I had them last time), not too keen on the RPF1 enkei.

I like the look of rims like the TE37s and D1Rs etc, 5/6spoke with some dish is always nice.
