Can someone tell me what offset works for 15" Volk TE-37's?

I'm new here and I've looked in search. Didn't come across this info. TIA

For 16x7 you have your choice of either +33 or +42 as your offset. For 17x7.5 the offset is 40.

All of the offsets for all of the sizes of the volk te-37s can be found here - http://www.mackinindustries.com/te37.html

On MINI2 there is a wheel faq here - http://www.mini2.com/forum/thread3496_.html and it lists all the 15" wheels with an offset of 45 which the volk 15x6.5 is available in a 45 offset.

TE-37s in 15x6.5 4x100 have either a 39 or 45 offset. Go with 45.

For the mini the offset is very important. Try to get a wheel upgrade with as close to stock offset numbers as possible. Trouble comes when you use a smaller offset like 37 instead of 45mm and then you lower the car or have a full load of passengers, you may get rubbing on the inside wheel wells. To avoid all of that potential- do your homework and know the stock wheel offset numbers. For the MCS it is about 45-50mm so replace wheels should be in the 45-48 range if possible. Hard to find et 50 from aftermarket wheels because the market for this would be small unless made specifically for the mini. If you have questions regarding wheels try email to alex at Tirerack.com
