Happy to be back on TE's, it's been a while since I've had a set but when I heard there were going to be no more TE37SLs I had to make a couple of moves.

I bought two brand new sets one in e9x fitment and the other in f8x fitment. I sold off the square 18x9.5 et22 set to keep the perfect set of TE37SL.

Final specs are 10.5/11 et20/34, I'm running a 5mm Future Classic Spacer up front for a final et15. Standard 265/35 & 295/30 Cup2 tire setup for me.

18x9.5 + 28 (+18 with a 10mm spacer) on 265/35/18
18x10.5 + 38 on 295/35/18

It looks epic

Car looks sharp. I've always loved [mag?] blue TEs—really neat wheel that works well on a variety of car colors.

I'm wondering what magic it is that allows you to fit a 10.5 up front though—perhaps it's camber settings, or that 265 Michelin cup2, because I'm pretty sure I could not fit a 10.5 with a 275 track tire on the front of my car and maintain a proper camber spec without lower arms to pull the hub in.

Yes, Mag Blue.

As for magic, so many factors come into play and everyone's setup is different. I was able to fit 10.5 and 265/35 with just coilovers/camber plates. My setup is completely different now and I still can fit about the same as I did before, not much more or less. At the end of the day, you figure out what works best for you and run what you want. It's your money and time. Ya know?

Yeah, I know this all too well from another life (ever use newspaper to roll a fender?)—my magic comment was tongue-in-cheek. Your TE fronts made me do some math and I'm going to reinvestigate this. I'll see what my 10.5 +37 RI-A is like with an 18mm spacer on the front. With my current spring-rate and ride height, I really should not run much more than -3.2º camber up front and that's a bit limiting

I don't know what your coilover setup is currently but if you're using 275 and a larger/longer front spring. It may not be enough and you may have to push out even further.

Got excited when I saw this but that can't be the stock brakes, these only come in 18s.

Hey all,

I'm looking to get into a M2C later in the year, and I currently have some TE37 OGs from my FK8 sized 18x10 +41. I found one person running this setup on their M2C on IG, but was wondering if anyone else has experience with this fitment?

Obviously the front brakes need to be changed, and coils are a must. Is there anything else I need to be aware of? Just trying to sort out all potential issues ahead of time.

Thanks!

Apex fitment guide says 18x10 et 33 fit with 12mm spacer so its possible that a 20mm spacer will fit et41. You'll probably need additional front camber as well

What wing is that?

Team Schirmer Wing with M235iR uprights or a rep of them

Fronts may clear with a lot of camber but the rears will be a problem on the fender side.

Has anyone thought about running 19" TE37's on the M2C?
I have been Googling and scouring the internet on my off time to find if 19" TE37s or Regamasters fit. The results so far have been inconclusive as I have not found anyone test fitting these wheels on.

Unless you're from a country that doesn't have the large brakes on the Competition the 19" TEs don't fit over them. Otherwise people have changed their front brakes to AP Racing or something else.

has anyone ever run 18x9.5 et22 and 18x11 et34 on the OG M2 ? if so what’s the widest tire setup I could do without rubbing on springs ?

[Vulpe]

Guys, calm down.

Who's going to do it?

Also the first time I've ever seen the 2U30 code.

Ordering a set right now !!!

What do you think of Diamond Dark Gunmetal on Hockeheim Silver ? I don't like the look of bronze on that color

Diamond dark gunmetal would look great

[Vulpe]

If anyone was slightly worried about them actually fitting. No worries! They fit with plenty of room to spare, I wouldn't worry about rocks getting caught here.

When I first saw the listing I was slightly skeptical especially with the 2U30 code, I wasn't sure if Japan came default with the 2NH brakes or not.

Hoping to get tires mounted this month.

Ouhhhhh wow, how did you get those so fast !!! My set is arriving somewhere in August/September, maybe they had stock on Bronze, That I didn't check.

Thanks for confirming the 2NH clearance! Can't wait to see it on your car.

Would you have more pictures, curious on how concave they are. They say Face3 but don't have the example on 19in on their website.

I ordered mine in February and they told me a batch would be made at the end of April.

I was wondering that myself thinking they would update with a 19" profile picture. Little weird both front and rear are the same profile, I'll see if I can snap some later today.
