What are the offsets? You might not be able to fit either depending on the wheel offsets.
And you'll have a adapter that overlaps when going to a 5-lug pattern on 4x100.

As long as the offsets are good you'll be able to run the TE37's with adapters.

Those aren't TE37s- They're CE28Ns which are a hair heavier than the TE37s.

Offsets are listed on their Website:

I did a search on CE28N's

If you're going to go with adapters, try to find a set of 17s in 17x7.5 +48 or +50 which is mostly available in 5x100 :)

JPMM Feb 17, 2012 03:10 AM

yea!!, can you go check them out for me? :grin:

I'm gonna try to buy them but I'm worried that something is amiss. Heres some photos, they have no Volks stickers but thats not a big deal.

You'll fit a-ok with a 7.5" wide wheel at 40mm offset.
The wheel will push out 14mm more, compared to the OEM 7" wide @ 48mm offset.

thanks, :grin:

For sure! I have a question about these JDM wheels, are they TPMS compatible? I heard some wheels are not, but are Volks, SSR, and other brands compatible?

well .....I'll be finding out soon!:eek2:

mini_macky Feb 18, 2012 08:18 AM

17x7.5 4x100 +40 will work fine. Had a set of TE37s & SE37Ks before in that spec :thumbsup:

Regarding the decals on the spokes, you can buy them separately from Rays

JPMM Feb 18, 2012 08:31 AM

Thanks!
I will look into stickers when I get the wheels. I need to repair that small spot on one the wheels rims, figure I'll get some bronze anadise look paint and try that..
Now I'm gonna shop for tires , want the widest Star Specs.:grin:

Can you post some pics of your car with the different wheels you have had?

JPMM Feb 18, 2012 03:57 PM

Do you think these tires will fit,
Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec,

Plan on lowering the car? If so, those 225/45 are going to rub like crazy.
They have a taller sidewall than the standard OEM 205/45's.

If not super low, have you considered a 235/40?
