For those running Blast Bronze color -- I find it to be a total fking pain in the ass to clean. What are you guys using to properly wash this wheel color/texture?
It's actually so annoying to clean, I'm thinking of re-buying my Volks in the gloss bronze color instead.
I have some 19" Ultra M Specs coming in soon. I've spent 5 hours researching tires, but I'm at my wit's end. I am wanting some 200TW tires, so sizing options are limited. Ideally I'd like some Continental ECFs, but their sizing makes it hard to get a staggered set up where the rears are still bigger than the fronts.
So my question is, will 315/30/19 fit the rears for some 10.5" TE37s?
Tiresize.com has a 10.5" at the bottom end of the acceptable wheel width for 315s, though it still is in the range. The seemingly only way to get a balanced staggered setup with those tires are 265/35/19 on the front and 315/30/19 on the rear. How might the car behave differently with this set up?
Alternatively, for more fitment options, is it bad for front tires to have a bigger DIAMATER than the rears in our cars? Those tires also come in 295/30/19, but that makes the rears have a smaller diameter than any viable size in the front.
There seems to be a ton of people that suffer from rubbing given the popular “A90 spec” TE37s. But I believe the math is off. And yes it will vary from tire manufacturer, tire size, added camber etc. But generally speaking, the numbers don’t seem right. +20 up front will cause too much poke. +34 in the rear will sink the wheel too far in and look terrible.
A90 owners have agreed that adding 13mm spacers in front and 15mm spacers in the rear to the factory wheel set up hits just right in the looks department and rubbing nearly never happens. That said.
Factory 19x9F +32 ( adding 13mm spacers) effectively sets the new offset to 19mm.
Factory 19x10R +40 (adding 15mm spacers) effective set the new offset to 25mm.
Considering what’s available from Volk Racing and using an offset calculator, the most ideal TE37 wheel size
18x9.5F +24
18x10.5R +30
(or 19” if you’re staying 19”. The width and offset remains the same)
This size would prevent too much poke and allow the wheel to compress without risk of rubbing or having to run excessive negative camber.
There are probably hundreds if not thousands of sets of A90 spec Te37 out there. We have sold lot of sets and have zero rubbing issues. 19x9.5+22/19x10.5+35 275/305 tires, lowered.
Have new setup coming next week, lowered on H&R and unsure on tire size. 275/35 or 40 on front? Leaning towards 295/40 rear. Seen plenty of pics of same setup with Eibach, just trying to keep gap filled as much as possible with H&R
Looks good. Looks like rear could be one step taller sidewall and fill the gap even more (or reduce the front tire size one step less if you find it rubs at all).
@jay35 ive seen same setup with 35s on front and there’s quite a gap versus mine. But yea I also think I can probably try 45 rear if I really wanted to. I was running 305/45/17 on rear prior with 17x10 welds
