Anyone here running these? TE37 Saga 18x9.5 +33 5x120 Face-4

[Z06Chris]

Love the look... but REALLY worried about the rubbing.
Anyone here get these and have any feedback?
Would running a 30 sidewall tire instead of 35 help or would it just look ridiculous?

if your worried about rubbing don't do a 33 offset ... It is going to rub if you don't do any fender mods.
30 sidewall imo would look pretty ridiculous too. i personally wouldn't go lower than a 35 sidewall.

But I want a really concave wheel
The TE37 OG/SAGA/SL in +38 is kinda concave and looks decent but isn't really doing it for me.
I think the SAGA give the appearance of the most concave out of this group but it looks like it's because the spokes stick out past the edge of the wheel which I don't really like.

Any other options out there that will fit better and are really concave?

i agree with you. face 4 looks SOOO much better than face 3s. I have the 9.5 +45s and wish it was face 4 but i don't want to do fenders mods.

this is my car with 265/35/18 RT-615K on a 18x9.5 +45 lowered on swifts.

Spoiler

I know there are people here that claims no rubbing (even on +38s) but looking at it from my own personal car i just don't see how it wouldn't rub. You MIGHT be ok if your not lowered but it's a lot of money to just try it out lol.

as for other concave wheels, i'm not too sure ... Maybe some advans has concaves. It's kind of hard though because of the offset.

They poke 1.7mm more than 18x10 +41, which a lot of people are running. I think tire choice and camber are going to make more of a difference regarding rub.

IG member BRZpapi has the 18x10 +40 which is 0.7mm less poke on 265/35 with Swifts. I'm sure he's on here but don't know his profile name. I've got a set of these on order but it'll be months before I see them.

I'm on Spoon springs now so it isn't as much of a drop as the Swift. I also plan to run 255/35/18, but like you said.. it's a lot of $ to gamble with rubbing issues.

Right now I only want TE37's or Spoon SW388. I prefer the TE37, but don't want to settle on a set and regret it.

I keep going back and forth and get nowhere with deciding which wheel

Yeah i agree. Tire choice and camber will be a difference and people running a 10" wide wheel technically would have more clearance because the same size tire would be more stretched onto the wheel compared to a 9.5

255 would probably be fine for a 38 offset but another 5mm is pretty big...

I'm having trouble deciding because I'll see like the TE37SL +38 look concave and good in one photo, but then I see the same wheel look flat and bad in another photo.

Those photos you sent look pretty concave and I like it.
They're these correct?

No, I was only using that size/offset as an example since it's a popular size on the forum. The 10" +41 is essentially the equivalent of a 9.5" +35. There are a lot of vendors and members you can discuss the fitment requirements with for those. Evasive (and Pristine Parts) offer a 10" +40 Saga which is the equivalent to a 9.5" +34. My assumption is that System wanted to offer a 9.5" Face 4 rim and choose the specs according.

Evasive still appears to have OG TE37s in 18x9.5 +38 available, assuming their website is up to date. Just depends on what color you're looking for.

OH OK, spoke to a guy on isntagram and I see he posted that brzpapi guy's setup. He said he runs the same and only rubs on really bad bumps or potholes.

I honestly don't know which to get. The 18x9.5 OG in +38 look pretty good in the photo giant aftermarket wheels thread. They're not that concave but I like their look over the TE37SL +38.

I don't know if the Type R quarter panels or fenders are any different, but i fit a 18x9 +10 offset wheel which is EXTREMELY concaved and I do not rub on coilovers.

From the looks the General RS MAXs on my 9.5s look wider. Just a FYI - these (could be angle) look narrower to me

MigJohn10 works @ Pristine and is who I ordered my Sagas thru.

The personally don't like the TESL since you have to run a $240+ set of adapters to fit a center cap, which I want.

Also think about if you plan on running center caps. SLs needs an adapter and it's stupidly expensive.

Maybe
RT-615s are not really the widest tire in the world. If i was running like A052s i'd have even less space than that.
It's close enough to the point if i put a 7mm spacer on there, it'd rub with my current alignment setting

I've asked System Motorsport about this and they have a 1 inch drop on this set up with no fender work done i believe and fit a 265 tire set up. They recommend a 25/35 which is what i will run when i get my set in and i'll be dropped on spoon springs that are .7 of a drop. They also said the only time they rub is with a full car and if there is a pot hole or extreme bump.
