gogriz91 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm about to pull the trigger on some bronze TE37Vs and am curious if I can get the 16x8.5s under there with 225/50/16s with T3 coilovers and the rear fenders rolled. Any observations, photos or suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Depending on the offset, yes. I believe 9 inches is believed to be doable pretty regularly with coilovers. 8.25 I believe is the limitish on stock suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogriz91 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 The 16x8.5s have a +30 offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetsaz Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I believe the popular panasport set is the 16x7 +10. Seems a bit conservative. I've looked into sizing for this stuff obsessively and most people seem to be having the best success with 16x8 +4 on some of the rota sets. I wouldn't try to run any wider without a higher positive offset. Also refer to this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 With 2.5 inch spring like TTT coilovers have you can run a little bit more inboard I think the springs are 4 inch od vs the 5.75 inch stock perch (my memory might be fuzzy). I know another size that is run is 16x9+0, but a 16x8.5+30 is the equivalent of say a 16x9.75+0 (in regards to inboard), which may be a bit much. For that price I would just get a wheel gauge or make one yourself to make sure before purchasing. I suppose worst case you could run extended studs and slip on a spacer.

primaz Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I have two 240Z's both running 16 x 8" CCW's with 16" / 245 / 45 series tires, both cars have coilovers and rolled fenders with no problems. It is best to get one of those measuring tools or go to a shop with one to get the right offset for your specific suspension. You should try to measure it so you do not need to add a spacer.
