the official VOLK TE37 thread...

Well **** I wish the guys at vivid racing would have said something about that. I wouldn’t have bought these things knowing body work needs to be done. What would you suggest? Smaller tire? Smaller wheel? If so what’s the biggest te37 I can run without modifying my fenders? Maybe a different offset in the rear...
Heck, i was fitted for the following spec: 17x9.5" +30 w/a 275/40 tire. My EvO rears needed everything your +22's will need w/a modest 255/35 tire.
If youre more Stance oriented, then a super tight rear fender roll w/some heavy negative camber & ride height may get you by (would not work well at the track or aggressive driving )

What you bought is a very popular size & offset designed for the Stance fit. Non of the road coarse / function guys run that offset. Most function setups are running +30 to +38 & even at that we needed some rear fender work

Its definitely not going to the track. It’s a daily driver that I’m not too hard on. I also forgot to mention it lowered .9 inches in the rear. Also I’ve been looking around town and no one will roll fenders. They say it’s a liability. Unless I want to buy a fender roller and do it myself I’m screwed. I’ve never rolled a fender before so I’d be a little reluctant to try myself. Sigh. Thanks for your help. No clue what I’m gonna do now
im in the same boat as you man. I have a slight roll on rear fenders but that is it. I talked to a guy local to me, he has a Beatifully EB 9 on 18x9.5+22 on a 245/40/17. Fitment is pretty nice. He’s pretty damn close for fender to wheel gap. He said he slightly rubs depending on bumps and passengers. I will end up going with the exact set up he has and just keep about a fingers gap for clearance and have coilovers pretty stiff. Might end up getting an alignment and getting some very slightly camber. If it rubs a tad tad bit I’m fine with that. I recommend at 245 tire tho.

So I just bought a fender roller. Going to give it my best to make these bad boys work. Gonna go slow and take my time to do it right. One more question, sorry man. Will I need to remove the wheel well liner and if so will it fit back into place once the roll is complete?
