TE-37 would be fantastic. I wanna get an idea of how deep the lip is.

Thanks

Sorry to burst yer bubble, but te37s don't have much of a lip no matter how low of an offset you go, only a dished spoke look.
16*8 +15 should give you a good 3" lip or so, +/- 1" depending on face (disk) design.

actually, they do
depending what face you go with
ive seen 18x10? maybe or maybe it was 9 on a s13 (works at apex'i) that was flat face and LIP with a low offset. about 3" or so lip (same color as wheel, not polished)

yes very true, the rear inner fenders are rolled up a bit but i still need some ruca for more rear camber. my tires never rub even at full roll unless i have a passenger. anyway i just realized you were looking for flat facers, so that was no help

it's more of a 2" lip on a +15 offset. I have some 15x8 Epsilons with -26 offset and its barely 3.5" lip. And thats a flat face, not like the TE37s.

the difference in face choices are the concave look on them....some widths/offsets wont have concave look, others will....
for my rims, only 16x8.5+ or 17x9.5 had concave spokes regardless of offset....

Okay. Let me re-state my criteria. By lip I meant sunken spoke also. Actually now that I think about it, no lip with sunken spokes on TE-37's would be very nice. But lip is always nice when possible. So here's my question redefined:

1) a. What is minimum width of TE-37 in 16in. that gives nice dished/sunken spoke design?

1) b. What is minimum width of TE-37 in 17in. that gives nice dished/sunken spoke design?

Thanks,
ant

LOWEST offset available

yea Dousan is rt.

At least 8" wide.

On the silver car, the rears I believe have Face 2.

The Face-2 have a more sunken in look than normal te-37s, while not sticking out.

ugh, no. I think you're talking about Centerliners. The ones i'm talking about are Modular 3-piece mesh Racing wheels. Here's a pic to finish this lesson...
