i'm not that obsessed, i just see the difference in the spokes
i used to have TE37 on EVO with flat face,
they were good looking, but not exciting, i envied every other cars that could fit wider wheels.....now i feel like it's my turn!! so need to find out all the options before going for it

to be honest, i haven't seen TE37SL 9.5/10.5 combo in person yet
so i don't know if the front is less concave, or if the difference is big enough to notice
but i do really notice it from the picture you just posted, haha
some picture, the difference is more especially side picture shot from high angle
(i have been staring at every single pictures in the past 2 weeks within this thread, i think i need to stop that before i get problems haha)

i saw the 19"s somewhere
i'll dig through my bookmarks to see if i could find it

alrite, i think i should just settle for 9.5 front, for the trouble, probably not worth it

but M3 seems to be oversteer a bit already, wouldn't a square setup make the car more oversteer?

if i have a stagger wheel setup, and run 275 square, that's ok right?
what's the downside of stagger wheels with square tires compared to square wheels and tires??

if i have to run 10.5 in the front, the spacer is to clear aftermarket coilovers, but even more difficult to fir the tires right?
and what # in camber setup i'll be looking at?

anyone could help me with square set up? if i run square tires on stagger wheels, there's nothing wrong with it right?

I would run 275 front/285 rear with a 9.5/10.5 setup. I currently run this now on my BBS E88s. That being said, even 275 on a 9.5 wheel will manifest some frustration. Below is a pic of my 9.5 ET15/10.5 ET20 setup using 265 front and 285 rear.

thanks man!
front with ET15 is with spacer? so a 7mm spacer for clearing coilovers?

by the way, i notice you have motorsport mirrors.....
they are so sick, i like them ! but so damn expensive, do they stick out more than stock mirror?
(sorry if off topic)

[JEllis]

No ET15 front and ET20 TE37SLs were a special order along with the color. There is a few sets around but they are not as popular as the standard ET22 setups. The fronts were perfect to avoid any rubbing on my KW CSs.

The mirrors stick out about the same as stock.

got it man! just finish reading your car build thread, nice build!! also like you E36
Sadly i have to sell my built E36, it's such a great DD to complement with E92

about the wheels, the 9.5 +15 is same face as +22?
and 10.5 +20 is the same face as +22?

also i see your rotors being 380 f and r, they do clear TE37 18s?

Honestly I don't know about the faces. I will tell you that ordering TEs in the rare offsets and colors is lengthy process. The easiest way is to pay attention to the distributors and find out when they are getting some the rarer sets.... or buy used. I waited months for these.

Yes, TEs clear 380f/r no problem.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

18" has a deeper concave while 19" has a large lip in the TE7SL?

[InspireSiR]

Correct. First pic is 18. Second is 19...

Also, I think the fronts in the second pic have the old +22 offset. The newer +21 offset have a wider lip
