+38 ET on LE-37T 18x9.5?

[NMYMIRR]

I'm thinking of picking up a set of used "Volk LE-37T" in 17x7.5 40et fronts and 18x9.5 38et rears. I know the ones in the front will fit, but how about the rears (18x9.5 38et)? Just want to be sure before I buy them. I heard of +40et with 18x9.5 used. Would 2mm further out make that much of a difference?

perfect offset. a 265-30-19 will fit as will a 275. Congrats.

We run a +38mm on a 18x10.0 265-35-18 and it looks perfect. The TSW Thruston guys run a +35mm with a 275-30-19 so you are fine.

Thanks for your confirmation. :wink:

Jackson,
The LE37T 18x9.5 has et 40 and 35mm and they both fit fine. The 38mm is a typo?

Steve,

That is what I was told, but I will confirm that once I see them in person myself. I'll keep you posted.

Yes I did just check my chart, and the LE37 shows a +40mm reccomendation for the NSX.

I have 43mm on my 9.5 and I'm using spacers.

Steve, Don't you have a 30mm on your 9.5? Or maybe it was a 35mm.

Ok, just got confirmation from the seller that indeed it's +40 ET on 18x9.5. It was definately a typo on his part. My next question is would these offsets (+40 ET 18x9.5 rears & +40 17x7.5 fronts) work for 97+ NSXs with oem brakes? How about BBK upgrade?

I remember fangtl had the exact setup on his '97 without any problem. I highly doubt it'll fit BBK.

Yes on the 97+ OEM Brakes (I had TE37's in the same exact sizes on my 97), as far as clearance for BBK: no for the Stoptech's, no for the AP's , no for the Comptech's with the 13 inch rotors and Brembo Indy Calipers, don't know for the GranTurismo from Brembo, don't know for the Wilwoods.

Ken, thanks for your reply and confirmation on my questions. Now I can purchase them without hesitation. I also want to thank those who also gave input in this matter. :smile:
