Will a volk expert tell me what exact te37s these are?

[a90nist]

I bought my car with these wheels. The previous owner but very thick spacers (at least 20mm). When I went to take them off the tires in the front started rubbing on my springs, 275 all round. I’ve heard of people running 295s on the front with no issues. Is there a way to see my wheel specs or am I SOL?

People are not running 295's on the front with no issues. You have to make changes to the car to do that such as spacers, coilovers, HKS springs, a mixture of the above, or other things. The OEM spring perch is the problem. Same for 275's. You need the spacers. If you take the wheel off, look at the back of where it meets the hub, sometimes the specs will be stamped inside of it. Sometimes there's a sticker on the inner barrel too but those tend to come off.

Most common TE37 Supra sizes are 19x9.5 +25 in front and 19x10.5 rear +35.

Those look like TE37SL Black Editions, but someone put the OG TE37 Stickers on them instead of the SL Stickers.

It looks like those are the old style SL's as well that used the OG Face instead of the new Saga face, so that would probably make them Black Edition II's.

Person above is correct on the most common TE37 sizing. Black edition may have been slightly different but it'll mostly be the offsets that change and it'll be +- a few mm at most.

yea looks like ts37SL black edition III but could be any spec

I see. What’s the biggest tire you can fit and is it worth it to switch off the 275 square setup?

What's your goal? More grip, a specific look, etc. In general I'd tell you to stick to 275 square or use up those tires and when ready to replace stick with 275 in front and go 295 in rear if you're wanting a little more meat.

Looks like SLs, depends on the wheel spec, take it off and it says it near the hub.

I do really like the idea of no spacers, or at least smaller ones. I drive pretty hard here and there plus I’m tuning it soon, so having grip is important. I’ll measure the ones I have now they’re pretty big. Will the 295s fit with no mods? I removed the spacers from the rear because they fit just fine without them.

Edit: Also thought I’d mention the wheels are 18”

Is your main hang up on spacers thinking that they'll be a failure point? Spacers don't affect grip besides adding a little track width.

I've got 30+ track days with 15mm spacers, it's not a problem to drive hard on them. One of the most common track setups on stock suspension is Titan7 18x10.7 +38 with 15MM spacers as well. Spacers are really just for looks like flush fitment or suspension clearance. The worry about your wheel or hub braking off due to spacers is overblown. Think about all the stupid lifted truck guys who have 40-50mm spacers.

Rear has a decent amount of space due to no spring perch so 295 in rear will most likely fit with no mods but I can't say for certain. 18x11 +40 will fit. 18x10.7+38 will fit. 19x10+42 will fit.

Not on stock suspension. (in front)

The main reason I don’t want them is for the fitment, the tire sticks out from the fender a considerable amount. I’ll have time to take off my wheel and check the specs this weekend. I’ll also take some photos, appreciate the advice

I don’t like spacers myself. Just personal preference really!

My wheels specs are 18x 10.5 all round, I’ve attached a few pics to show how ridiculously thick these spacers are Could I get away with the 275s with smaller spacers?

 

[NicKnack]

If they're 18x10.5 +30 or so, you can just get rid of the spacers entirely in the rear, the wheel/tire will fill out the wheel well without them.

That’s what I ended up doing for the rears, they look perfect. Do you have any recs for front spacer size?
