Default Concave TE's

I want a set of bronze TE 37's in 17's. But I want atleast the rears to be concave. I do not want to run overfenders. What dimentions would I need to achieve this? but if needed I would prefer to run asm overfenders. I am open to ideas so please let me know and if you have any other ideas then pictures, prices and where to get what I need would be appreciated.

Good luck with that. 9 +22 just to give you an idea. Then I think a 10 +35 would be the next one. Nichigo talked with mackin and they gave lots of info on that.

Rear overfenders are mandatory just to get close to concave

Sorry but you sound like this guy that wanted big lip rears without rolling his fenders,stretched tires,etc.

If you want concave TE's be ready to use a flare -OR- some crazyy fender pulling.Just dont expect anything subtle to make these work.Cause honestly if it was easy there would be members on here with sunk face te's already.

Goodluck.

If 17x9 +22 is concave then it shouldnt be tooo bad.

Im running 18x10.5 +39 if we do some calculations with that new wheel it would 2mm less sticking out.Now all we gotta do is look how mine fit then imagine them 2mm more in.



^^^ of course thats with a good amount of camber

Notice this side still needed some more to go.


Either way I dont think you wanna run a stretch tire on a TE.So yes you will most def need a rear flare.

That would help but not enough.
