19x10 +30 and 19x11.5 +38 on 245/285 tires -2.8 front and -3.5 rear
Then rebarreled to
19x10.5 +36 and 19x12 +44 on 255/305 -2.8 front and -4 rear. I could have gone with 295 rear and stick with -3.5 camber for the rear. 305 just sounds so much better that's all. If you don't want to run crazy offsets and still run 305 tires, I would suggest to do 19x12 +48 to +55

BTW my rear fenders are shaved. Don't do that! I would have rolled them and do a slight pull instead. You can't pull the fenders once they are shaved.

Thanks for the info...what wheels did you find at the "rebarreled" sizes and offsets or did you have them made?

Since my wheels are 3 piece forged, I just had to change the inside hoops from 7" to 7.5" to achieve the extra width.

So I got 10 days and about 500 miles with these Zeal Function 20kg/16kg coilovers plus Racing Brake 2 pieces rotors and pads. All I can say is, AMAZING!!! The super stiff ride took a while to get used to, I love the feel of the car now. I can't wait for my TE37 to be done in a new powdercoat so I can truly dialed in my suspension/handling department. BC coilovers with Swift springs were good but these Zeal are way better. More in dept reviews once I get my TE37 with Michelin PSS on the car in a couple of weeks

Yeah SoCal roads aren't any better. That is why my ride height is not that much lower than stock.

Got my wheels back from the powdercoat shop over the weekend and then I got them on today. Figured I should share with you guys. I woke up all early today because I was so excited, no more mismatched wheels!!!

These are TE37 19x9.5 +34 19x10.5 +35 refinished brushed aluminum plus double dark tint clear coat. The finish came out amazing, it's a bit harder for the iphone camera to capture the stunning finish. I believe this is the first time this finish was done for the TE37. I love them!!!
Tires, Michelin Super Sport 245/40/19 and 275/35/19
First 5 pics were too dark so I had to enhanced them.





Last 3 pics were not edited.

Hmmm. I wish the fitment was a little more aggressive, but they look really good. I really like the color.

Thanks, the front can be about 10mm more aggressive. The rear however, can't. I'm already at -3 camber to fit the 275/35 Michelin under there. Any more aggressive and I'll have to stretch with 245 or 255. Those sizes are a no go for me

Ah. I didn't realize it was that close. I was trying to compare it to the pictures with your last set of wheels. I'm right there with you on the sizing. I prefer as much rubber as possible.

So I went on vacation for a week, Royal Caribbean cruise to Eastern Carribean . So I took the opportunity to drop off my car at Auto Explosion, best bodyshop for custom work and paint in SoCal in my opinon. They gave me a fair price quote on repainting my vented Seibon hood and painting/installing my Cwest front lip! Picked her up at around noon before heading to work today. The result is stunning! A week of no car plus seeing awesome work done on my F making me smile all day!
