    Lightbulb TE37 - 17x7.5 +30

    hey guys this sunday i will be picking up my new wheels they are Volk TE37 specs are
    17X7.7 +30 all round and im thinking how these will look on my 02 Civic EP3 Type R i intend to paint them Takata Green aswell as they have been sanded and prepped for paint by the old owner, in regards to guard rubbing poke/tuck im wondering how these wheels would sit on the car, if anyone has pictures of a EP3 with those wheel specs to demonstrate what the stance looks like that would be much appreciated

    Tire specs are 215/4 aswell if that is needed



    this is what i hope to achieve with it painted takata green but as mentioned before id like to know if these specs will give me a flush/poke on my EP3

    This is 17x7.5 +35
    215/45/17

    I have the rears and fronts rolled.
    Your fitment will poke a tad more than mine about 6-7mm

    What size tires are you running?
    215/40 or 215/45?

    with those spec's it will be very very close to the above set up, but i don't see any poke on it though. put some spacers on it and stretch the tire if you want poke.

    No
    But I doubt the rear will fit.
    It would rub wayyyyy too hard unless you camber it to fit, but it'll look real ugly if you try to camber it and the fenders aren't rolled.
    and I think the front will be okay, but rub a bit.
    My set-up rubs right now, and your new wheel specs poke a tiny bit more than mine.

    Keep in mind, my ride height is pretty low
    I've gone a tiny bit lower since this picture, but it's tucking tire all the way around.
    If you're not going to be tucking, than you do have an easier time with clearance.
