Here's my car with concave Volk CE28s 17x9 +22 with 255/40/17 Hankook RS-3 all around. I just ran ASM over fender with this setup for the rear and J's Racing front fenders

I actually tried buying those Orange TE37s a few months ago but they were sold so I bought new from Vivid Racing.

From my experience I know 17x9+22 and 17x9.5 +28 is concave in a Volk TE37

Just get the concave 17x9 +45 white Rota Grids ( Te-37 knockoffs) for sale w/ tires in the Florida classifieds. Time and money both saved.

^IMO that would look so much better if the CEs were matte black or diamond black. Are the new wheels going on the yellow car or the white one?

And to the OP, you can make them fit, but you will have to spend an extra $1000+ on wide fenders + overfenders (knockoff), or perhaps even $5000+ on installing something like the APR widebody. Even if you want to run the 17x9 +22 in the rear, you need to run overfenders. You can find some knockoff brand ones for cheap, but you'd have to pay somebody to cut and weld your rear fenders if you can't do it yourself. You will also need to fully flare the front (might work) or buy +30 - +40 front fenders to run that nonstaggered. So, you know how much you have in your bank...comes down to whether you can afford it. Suddenly $2800 turns into $4000+, for the concave look.

(Or, you can spend $3000 on brand new 17x9 +54 Volk CE28s, which can be fit with minor rolling, while providing better function than a 225 stretched on a 9.5.)

New wheels are going on Yellow s2k.

I already did matte black ce28s and i prefer the mag blue better.

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but does anyone know if TE37 17x9.5 +35 are concave?
