wheels are REALLY growing on me… I'm looking to pick up either TE-37's or anything in an SBC color… I just have to find out what size looks best with my suspension setup…

hell yeah james looks sick!

thanks man!!
<3
I also got an identical bronze set!!
No one wants this size anymore because it isn't herra frush enough ...but I still want it.
the rears have a slight roll/pull to them now.

Hi Guys!


Does anyone have the CE28N in 17x9.5 +35? Will they fit over the front brembos without spacers?


I only know that 17x9 +35 and 17x9.5 +28 will fit, but can't find any info on 17x9.5 +35.


Many thanks!

RE30 17x9.5 +35 will fit, not sure about CE28N
hope this helps

bumping. what's the difference between the N & the SL? Looks like the 18x9.5 +34 for the CE28N was a common size/fitment, will the CE28SL 18x9.5 +35 clear the brakes?

so I did quite a bit of research on these two since I owned the N model in the past. To answer your first question, the SL model is lighter and more rigid than the N model. They removed some metal off certain parts of the the wheel and added it to other parts of the SL model to make it stronger and still managed to reduce some weight. Second question.. the +35 will NOT clear the Brembos up front but the +22 will for the SL model. The N model +22 will NOT clear the Brembos up front... a 5 mm spacer is required for the Evo 8/9 but not for a X (confirmed). The +34 for the N model did clear the Brembos up front on the 8/9.

The other thing I found out and more important from an aesthetics point, is the SL model now has different faces than the N model at higher offsets. This sounds a like a good thing but I'm personally not a fan of it.
I will use the 18x9.5 +22 and +35 to make this comparison of the SL model. Both of these offsets share the same face (face 4). Which is good if you want to buy them specific to an 8/9 to save you having to roll fenders in the rear. The SL model uses a concave face but at the cost of a smaller lip (SS as opposed to a L (long) rim) than the same spec N model. All N models up to +34 use the L rim. However, the +22 in the N is no longer being produced I was told by more than 1 vendor.. which sux as this offset and below gives you a concave face in the N model.

To get the same concave face on the S model and L rim you have to a lower offset which is +15. The SL model appears to share this same face and L (long rim) so I assume it has the same face and concave as the N model at this offset. The issue I found though is that no vendor could confirm if the +15 SL model would clear the Brembos up front. Rays site says it does NOT... it only clears for the X. So adding even a small spacer for sake of clearing calipers is only gonna lower the effective offset for a CT9A and make fitment even more difficult.

If you own a CT9A it takes some work to run the +15. They fit much easier on a X with a proper tire. Well sorry for the long rant but hope this helps. I ended up picking up a set of 18x9.5 +15 N models in classic bronze because I know for sure that they do clear the Brembos up front. I will post some pics soon after I grab some pics of the car.

as far as i can understand it, i like having a smaller lip -- i dont like the idea of running different offsets however, as i need to rotate my wheels often for autox.

my bigger question really is - will the CE28SL 18x9.5 +35 clear the X brembos, which are further away from the hub (more clearance than 9 brembos). I'd like to run +35, and avoid having to run +22 all around. I guess I will if I have to to clear the brakes, but would be nice if I could run the +35s, at least without a spacer

according to their spec chart for the wheel, the +35 in that size WILL NOT clear the Brembos up front for the CT9A.

i'm swapping my 9 brakes for X brakes - so I guess my question is, will the CE28SL 18x9.5 +35 clear X brakes? that seems to be the question no one has an answer for. They recommend +22 for the X, which is a nightmare for the 9 rear

I'm also trying to understand -

so the +34 cleared the brembos, but the +22 does NOT? and this is because the all CE28N's in 18x9.5 +34, time attack or not, are more flat faced than the +22s?

--

as far as i can tell, the ce28n 18x9.5 +34 seems ideal - flat faced, more caliper clearance that the 9's can actually fit, which implies the x calipers on 9s will fit too. i don't know if that only came in the "time attack" variant or what though

bump - is the CE28N Time Attack in 18x9.5 +34 a different spec than the regular CE28N? I'm assuming so, since the Time Attacks clear the brakes on the 8/9 & the regular CE28N's do not

are those the stock brakes? the +28s clear without issue? did you have to roll/pull/relocate the rear bumper tab, and do you race your car?

FYI +34s are no longer sold or even produced.

The reason why the +22 on the N model did not clear the Brembo is due to the concavity being totally different than the higher offsets. Lower offset does not always guarantee caliper clearance. I would go with the standard +28 CE28N... the weight you save from the SL model is minimal. +28 is very doable in the rears. As for you swapping to X brakes.. I do not know if that would make a difference. Maybe someone else can jump in that has done that in the past.

yes the +34 are no longer in production.

Another option is to go with Te37 Sagas. They make them in a +31 offset now clearings the calipers on the 8/9 and with a concave face.
