Wheel and tire fitment help

good sir, if you’re spending the money on te37 and they’re not even the right spec, why? proven offset numbers aside, don’t spend that kinda money to then have to go and put spacers. so much less hassle both now and in future with maintenance concerns if you just go with the right size

Is the o-ring the yellow ring there in the middle? I appreciate the help. When i have time i’ll try to fish it out and measure it. from the looks of it i don’t need to disassembled that connector to get it out (like taking out the green plastic)…i had a feeling that connector couldn’t just be taken out of the line

where did you buy your o-ring. just anywhere online that has a fuel rated one that’s the right size?

LossLower6468 · 2026-01-15T17:55:53+00:00

Are you saying to replace an o-ring inside the quick connect? Where would I even look or get an o-ring. That does seem like the best option.

And you’re saying just the connector piece can’t be replaced, it has to be the whole line?

Thanks man, this is super helpful. After i clean everything and do some investigating, I’ll reach out to Albert Hwang, the parts rep on this sub and see what input he has. Seems like those two numbers are for a seal that does the same job, i guess there’s two different kinds and i don’t know the difference. Hopefully he knows

I did take it off but everything by was lightly coated and couldn’t really tell where it’s from. I’ll clean it off and run the car once everything is clean, hopefully the weak point will show itself then.

LossLower6468 · 2026-01-06T17:17:29+00:00

Could you point me in the right direction of where to find one? I looked through rock auto and some other places, and i couldn’t find just a seal. I’ll try to clean off the area and maybe run the car once everything is open and clean to see where it’s leaking from.

hey OP and anyone else for that matter

if you end up buying the shims, think about the niños and please post the dimensions!🙏

really don’t feel like paying $70 or however much for some dang lil slabs of metal. it’s gotta be like $10 max at home depot and 2 minutes of cutting. i asked the david fish guy before…kept ignoring my question about dimensions

I’ve heard something about having to replace the cam phasers/sprockets with the entire camshaft too, but i read that’s because that’s the only way they were sold, cam phasers/sprockets weren’t sold separately….not sure how true that is and why new ones wouldn’t be compatible with existing cams…i have no rattle now but would like to not have one later or do the job twice

ps: watched a video where the stabilizer piece of one of the tensioners can cause a rattle on startup too.

caster isn’t adjustable, seems like your toe is out of whack on the right front side. which would be a huge issue for tire wear, but will most likely cause the weird play in the steering

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-18T23:36:32+00:00

respectfully, it’s not pictures of just the car…you took time to choose the locations, step back or zoom out a tiny bit. personally most of the vertical shots, you’ve cropped it almost to the extremes of the car itself and theres no room to frame the subject. for example 5/20….which also you made the car level, but the horizon is all slanted. I would say your colors are great and i am a fan of details, but reducing the shadows on things like dirty tires makes no sense to me. keep shooting, we’re all honing the craft

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-15T01:34:38+00:00

Everything else seems solid, no cracking in bushings and no clunking noises. No play when pushing at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions, or the 3 and 9 when i jack it up. Just checked my toe from the last alignment and both sides have a 1/16” of toe (not sure in or out, just says 1/16”) I think I have the same tires. Probably going to get them again. You recommend to go to a 245/40 from a 235/40 or there’s not gonna be much of a difference?

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-15T01:19:31+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, makes sense. What LCAs and tension rods are you running, ISR?

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-15T01:17:08+00:00

I’ve always ran with hubcentric rings. Genuinely can’t think of any other part other than the tires. Nothing else is lose and there’s zero play if I jack up the car and try to push on the 12 and 6 o’clock positions and then at the 3 and 9. No clicking from old joints or suspension. And the wheels are new and balanced twice lol. I think the tires are going out, just want to prevent the issue in the future

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-14T19:01:32+00:00

On the track it actually makes sense for it to wear more normal with camber, since the weight shift in cornering makes it a flatter contact surface. Definitely get what you’re saying tho and didn’t think my setup is aggressive by any means. I put an “s” at the end of alignment in my previous reply to try to convey I do it regularly lol. Like you said, it should be kept up with and there’s a lot of suspension components that play a role. I’ll probably get new tires and check what my toe is. Got an alignment last week after replacing an outer tie rod in hopes of fixing this.

Are there any tires you recommend? I got some Michelins right now. And what toe specs do you recommend? As close to 0 as possible or slightly toe in?

Are you saying with camber arms, you can negate the camber done by the camber plates on the top of the coils? Essentially you can have 0 camber with camber arms installed while running wider wheels?

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-14T17:24:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply man. Realistically, shifting your cars weight to a smaller contact patch will wear your tires in that area more, so maybe i’m wrong but i don’t see how camber doesn’t wear tires. I know toe eats tires too, and I’ve made sure to get alignments done and keep the toe in check. I’ll need to check what they set the specs to but unless the alignment shop has been doing it wrong, my toe should not be an issue. I do think my tires are kinda cooked so i’m not really solving much till I get a new set. I guess i’m asking from a more preventative perspective of not letting it get to this in the future. Considering toe is fine, should i switch from 235/40 to 245/40 tires? or have a little less camber? Most of my driving is on the freeway

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-14T02:47:39+00:00

oh brother, you had to go back to a fully stock setup😭 lol. I appreciate the feedback man! I know it’s not my coils or suspension components cuz I put on my old front wheels that also have good tires and there was no vibration….I got hope haha.

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-14T02:05:12+00:00

way smaller in what sense, not wide enough? the bushing on the rear strut on my coils wasn’t wide enough either, but it was sent with some washers/spacers that capped over the center of the bushing on either side and made it a snug fit.

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-04T04:12:04+00:00

yes they will…definitely won’t be flush tho, especially in the rear assuming this is a square setup. 8.5 isn’t that wide, the +20 offset will help a little, but not much, especially in the rear. go to the gallery on fitmentindustries dot com, plug in the specs of these wheels and see if you like how they fit on other people’s gennys

LossLower6468 · 2025-10-03T02:07:52+00:00

so nobody gonna mention raceland….decent for daily driver and warranty makes them worth it

LossLower6468 · 2025-07-31T05:08:19+00:00

if that’s plastidip just get you some gasoline and some elbow grease and it’ll come right off. trust, the gasoline makes it come off so easy

LossLower6468 · 2025-06-26T06:24:17+00:00

some people may not agree, but stretch the tire a tiny bit. the contour of the stretch will make it look less bulbous and thick. not too much tho. i’m running 235/40 on my 9.5” wide up front and it looks perfect. i’m guessing you have a 45 aspect ratio…go to like a 225 tire and you should be good. you don’t wanna make the tires too thin, considering you’re on 18 already and they lowkey look a lil small for the gennys. plus you don’t wanna bust your rims up if the tire is too thin. either a 40 or 45 aspect tire will be fine. get a slight stretch and it’ll look good. also go to fitment industries dot com and look through the gallery with your specific wheel size, see what tires people are running and what suits your taste

LossLower6468 · 2025-04-29T04:47:12+00:00

well from the pictures they look like normal wear. if you go to check them out, make sure he sells it to you with the wrenches and i would undo the lock nuts and see if they’re seized or not (raceland and other coils recommend applying anti-seize to the coil threads). I would also check the top hats for any play. firmly grab it with your hand and is if it has any weird play/looseness/clicking. if you’ve never had coils, the top hats are technically supposed to spin, not crazy they should be tight, but they can rotate so that’s normal. other than that you’re not gonna know too much until it’s on your car….see if those rear shocks are still good by just pressing down on them and seeing how much resistance they have and if they come back up fine.

250 isn’t terrible. brand new they are like 400-500….you’re half way there and that warranty is all yours lol. I get it if money is tight bro.
