In regards to mounting pad of wheel

Anyone know what should i look for in the mounting pad/backside of a wheel inorder to acheive the lowest offset without having problems with calipers rubbing against the spokes?

specifically interested in the te37.

To clear the Brembos you should go with the high-pad model. However, if you are going with a very low offset it won't be quite as important.

Dud there are a million ppl with TE-37's on their evos, what size do you want? These are the sizes that will work:

17x8 = +33 (looks better than stock) or +38 (same as stock)
17x8.5 = +30 (perfect)
17x9 = +22 (fender), +28 (fender), +40 (sits in a little)

18x8.5 = +22, +30 (perfect)
18x9 = +40 (sits in a little, may want a 3-6mm spacer for looks, should barely clear stock calipers without spacer)

Anything beyond 9" wide is too risky for me to print, some people have good luck, some don't.

Ive done my research and found i want to go with 17x9 in +22mm, althought my question is i wanna push it with +15mm off all around. thank you guys for your input. i just found it difficult at times finding the right information instead of the misleading ones.

17x9 +15 will be hard core JDM. It's a commitment. People have done it, but I sure as hell wouldn't.

But I'm a wuss ... even +22 is more than I'd run. I'm going 17x9 +35 this time around.
