Strictly te37/sl thread

Hi guys, I read the M3 fitment is 19x9.5 ET22 / 19x10.5 ET22.

Can I use a M4 fitment TE37SL (19x9.5 ET22 / 19x10.5 ET34) on a E92 M3 with a 12mm rear spacers? As simple as that?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is as simple as that, but if you really want to get technical, you need to take into account the brand/size of rear tire you plan to run. You may find that you could run a slightly thicker or thinner spacer than a 12 mm to really get the wheel fitment you want. If you look back a couple pages in this TE37 thread, you will see some pics of my white M3 and white M4 with some "M4 fitment" 19" Te37SL in blast bronze. I used a 15mm spacer with the 10.5" +35 offset wheel and a 285/35/19 tire.

no rubbing.. slightly touches the fender liner at full lock, thats all.


You'll need a ton of camber so you won't be able to do with stock suspension.

How much is a ton of camber? -3, -3.5?
And what are you running for rear camber to do 10.5 +15 with the 275's?

-3.4 upfront and -2.5 rear.

Thank you Sir!

Dumb question. What lug bolt is recommended with Te37? OEM work ok? No spacers.

Yep, the OEM lug bolts work perfectly fine without spacers. All you need is a lug bolt (or nut) that has a 60 degree conical seat. Any stud kit or extended wheel bolt kit made for the E9x chassis will work.

The one thing I will note about spacers, I've found some spacers have a chamfer between the hub extension and vertical face of the spacer that doesn't fit all model TE37. I have some 10mm Motorsport Hardware "tracklite" spacers with hub extension that does not fit my 18" TE37sl bore but it fits perfectly fine on my 19" TE37sl wheels.

and a picture for a bump!

Hey man, I see this is an older post, but can you tell me about your wheels and tires? I like the way this looks a lot.

Stoked to join the TE club! Been holding onto this set for a long, long time and finally got the excuse to mount them because I needed new tires recently. Excited to try out these Falken Azenis FK510s.

Classic System-spec SLs in Dash White, 265/35 and 285/35 staggered. Starter pack for many of you but dream spec for me!

Need to dial in the suspension badly now. My Ohlins were set at a very conservative drop before when I was still running the stock 220Ms, but it’s back to looking like a monster truck after the wheel swap.

Nice! Starter Pack FTW!

Here are some pics from the SCCA Track Night in America at Atlanta Motorsports Park last night. It was a beautiful night to eat BBQ and watch some cars!

Anyone looking for a set of 18x10et25 Bronze Sagas with 275/35/18 Continental ECS tires?

Has bronze center caps and about 7k miles on the tires. I'm looking to offload them as I have too many wheel sets.

Anyone running 18x9.5 et 22 with 275/35 in front and 18x10.5 et 20 with 285/35 in rear with KW coilovers, specifically V3? I was wondering if it'll clear the suspension.

Will 18x10.5 +20 squared w 275/35 work on an edc car w swift springs?
No spacers. Just want to make sure they clear.

18" better for specific application. Lighter weight mainly. 18" tires are priced way better than 19" which is a big concern for cars that see track time.

Looks perfect

Hi all - What's the TE37 choice to go for these days?

So many options, TE37 / Saga / SL / S-plus

Looks like (square) 18x10J ET25 is NLA.

Currently, can only find 9.5J ET22 Or 10.5J ET30 on the Rays website. (SAGA S-plus).

Free bump for an excellent thread.

Hi all,

I have a set of TE37SL 18x9.5+22 and 18x10.5+20. I was wondering if continental extreme contact sport 02 275/35 tires for the front and 295/35 tires for the rear will fit? I’m planning on getting the ST XTA coilovers. Will I need anything extra? Thanks in advance!

18x9.5/18x10.5 guys - what tire pressures are you running for street?

Not sure about the UK, but the Saga/S-plus are probably the go-to for new now. The SL has been discontinued. There is still some SL stock around, like thru System motorsports, but finishes and sizes may be limited. The 10.5 ET30 is going to be for F8x fitment, I would go with the 9.5 ET20/10.5ET20 if you're looking for a staggered setup or a 10.5 ET20 square. As for differences between them all, including the Saga vs S-Plus, SM has a great article covering this:
