Question 19" Volk TE37 offset questions

Hi everyone,

I'm going to get 19" gunmetal TE37 for my car. I want the one looks like ings. However, on their website http://www.ings-net.com/ (products > rx-8 SE3P > SPEC & NOTE) they have
- WHEEL : VOLK RACING TE37 [ F 19 X 8.5J +22 R 19 X 9.5J +34 ]
which the offset doesn't make sense to me.

http://vrsm.vividracing.com/index.ph...=Project%20RX8
they have 19x8.5 up +43 offset up front and 19x9.5 +45 offset in the rear
which makes more sense to me

in our forum, https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ighlight=le37t
this member using the same setup as vivid racing.

So, here're my questions. Should TE37 using same offset as LE37T? Anyone here put TE37 19x8.5 and 19x9.5? Thank you everyone.

Just remember that show cars for magazine shoots (i.e. the INGS car) don't EVER need to roll and often aren't able to. :D

I have 19 8.5 TE37s all around. and I am running +43 offset. no probs at all. I guess you can run a little more negative, but not +22..... just my thoughts.

I don't have TE's or LE's, but I have Volk SF Challange F= 19x8.5 +34 (245/35) and R= 19x9.5 +36 (275/30) and have had no problems with clearance. In fact, the front still has a little room, meaning a 19x8.5 +22 might actually clear if your 8 is lowered.

can you post some clearence pics and can you explain the last comment about lowering and clearance? is this due to more - camber. just interested in seeing what will fit.

the ing volks seem to be the correct offset for a Z or g35. but that doesnt mean its the wrong offset for your rx8. thats the same size and offset rim i will be running on my 8 with tein S- tech's and as long as I run stretched tire's my wheel wells will clear with no problem. no scrapping whats so ever....awsome look.....wider stance for better handling!!!

+22 in the front +34 in the rear is the only way to go in my opinion!!

if you go with that front offset your going to have to run an aggressive camber if your lowered so don't expect your tires to last very long...
