Default VOLK TE37 18inch fitment queries

hey guys,

did a search but came up empty. Ive found some secondhand volk rims and was wondering if anyone knew that they cleared the sti brembos.

here is the information on the rims :

Rays Engineering Volk TE37's 18x7.5 in Bronze
They are 18 x 7.5 all round, 5 x 100 with an
offset of +48.

any help would be greatly appreciated as i dont want to buy them and find that they dont fit.
Regards

Without a spacer, the rims will not clear the brembos

thanks for ur help, i thought this might have been the case but wanted to make sure.

Are spacers dangerous? If u increased the bolts that fixes the rim will this solve the problem?

Default spacers..

as long as its a hubcentric spacer, and you have enough bite on the studs (longer ones arent a bad idea)

then you are fine...normally we use h&r wheel spacers...

many people will argue that they cause unneeded stress on wheel bearings and such, but we personally have never seen a problem....we ran them on many cars....

hmm. wheel bearing failures? is this an expensive problem if it occurs?

Also how much are these hr hubs? should u weld it to the wheel for more strength? sorry about all these noob questions.

thanks in advance

Are you sure about that^^^^?? I'm pretty sure 18 x 7.5 +48 offset TE-37 & LE-37T will clear the red BREMBO GT brakes on 02-03 WRX's.

I know for CERTAIN that other VOLKS of the same specs will clear the aftermarket Brembo kit....not sure about compatibility with 04+ WRX's/STi's and/or the gold OEM Brembos though.
