Volk TE37 17x8 +38
Car journal topic for "Project Yozora" is here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5801
Wheels: Volk Racing TE37, 17" x 8" +38, gold finish Tires: Toyo Proxes R1R, 235/40/17 I had guessed at this fitment with the stats way back in mid-March, and ordered the wheels in late March. I knew it was going to take a while, since the "gold" finish is a custom one; I didn't think it would take until mid-August. Once I got the email from Scott at Ballistic Motorsports, in my mind I was shouting, "SUGOOOOOOOI!!" The fitment was a pretty good guess. The inside strut clearance is almost dead-on what it is with the stock tires; about 3/4" away from the coil. No rubbing at all. The outside is just barely inside the fender, which is perfect. I'm getting a lot of comments about huge wheel gap, but this is a setup for autocross, to get 8 inches of tire on the ground. I haven't had a chance to play around, but I can't chirp the tires on demand anymore in VSC Sport, as I could with the 215-wide Primacy tires. That's a good thing, though; it means there's more cornering force. I had a guy in a B5 A4 with an Audi-ring "dope" window sticker stop adjacent, give me a thumbs up and "Niiiice!", and he took a picture with his phone. That's very good praise |

I need to see it them with the car lowered. I ordered 17x8 +44 and am hoping they look good.
I wish they made them with a bit more concave, but they don't look bad. |

I have some bronze 17x8 TE's for sale in the classifieds. As soon as my tires come in I'll post some pics of them on my Asphalt FR-S.
