TE37 offset and spoke design

[hkssilvia]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. I have a S13 with HKS coilovers, 5 lug conversion and Z32 front calipers.

I am planning to purchase a pair of 16x8 TE37 for the front. What is the better offset between +15 and +30? Will they clear coilovers and Z32 calipers?

Is it true that the lower the offset is the more the spoke bends for TE37?

Does TE37 come with 'flat black' color?

Thanks in advance,
Johnny

Anything in the +25 to +30 range would be fine. Anything below that and they wont be under the fenders. What size tires do you want to run?

I will use 205/55/16 tires.

Does 5 lug conversion in S13 make the front wheel more outward, more inward, or no change? Just curious. I cannot tell.

yes, loewr offset makes them "sunken" in and looks MUCH better.

the lug pattern has NO EFFECT on sunken or not. no change. just added 1 more lug, that's it.
