Just got the Volk ZE40 18x9.5 +21 on Evasivemotorsport fall sale! So excited!

How long do you have to wait?

I dont want to go off topic, but how about someone (not me lol) start GR color specific threads with wheel setups? Just so people can see what their GR color looks like with wheels desings/color.
Example: Ice Cap White GR with aftermarket wheel pictures.

Other car forums do it if anyone interested. Unless its on here and im missing it? Lol

You may want to check out the picture thread. Most are photshop but its a starting point.

I like that idea and I haven’t seen it anywhere on here. There’s the photoshop thread but that’s as close as it gets to what you’re suggesting. Someone hook us up! Haha.

They're saying 8+ months on a boat from Japan! Didn't know that would be the case but I guess it is since ZE40 are less popular than TE37... Oh well, ZE40 has been my dream wheel ever since my Evo X days. I think they'll be worth the wait.

I was given an 8 month time line also when ordering non popular specs for my Tundra.

I have FN wheels for my Tundra, happy with them, kinda a TE37 look alike.

Planning on getting Enkei PX-10 18x8 wheels and Continental DWS 06 245/40ZR18 tires.

Fits my budget 99.999% sure it'll fit the car. And tire rack will ship them mounted/balanced with TPMS sensors for under $2,000.

Any reason I shouldn't buy those?

18x8 might not clear the brakes.

18x8 might not clear the brakes.

That would depend on the offset, not necessarily the width

Lowest offset in that wheel & width is 18x8+35.. so, maybe?

I thought the stock wheels are 18x8 with a 30 offset?

@jzander bought the same wheels. Didn't see a post or picture or follow up if they did or didn't fit. But hopefully they'll reply.

But someone in that thread mounted 17x7.5's and they fit by a millimeter. I don't want to cut it that close. But every thing I've seen says the stock wheels are a 30 offset. And TireRack says they fit.

Guess I can try calling and speaking to a human to confirm or at least make sure they'll take them back if they don't fit. If their compatability is wrong.

18x8.5+30

They will fit, but I'm not sure if you will be happy with the look. The rim is going to be inset 12 mm more than stock. The tires will more or less be at the same position as stock (since you are going wider). I think you'd want to run at least a 15mm spacer for that to look really good.

Yeah, glad I posted. Definitely mean to get the 18x8.5 not 18x8 but haven't ordered anything yet.

^^^Nice. These are really growing on me...now I'm thinking of them vs Turbomac for my winter wheel set.

Did you buy them through 1552 website?

I have this exact wheel on order, has been my "dream wheel" since my Evo X days, very excited!

Did you have to change to longer wheel studs? Wheels do require conical lugs though, correct? What brand did you purchase?

You'll need conical style lugs for any aftermarket wheel. & yes, extended studs in the front will be required. & extended studs in the rear will only be required if you retain the OEM 10mm spacer (if you're getting 18x9.5+22, you'll be fine to remove it).

I was finally able to get the swift springs and wheels mounted today. I was going to wait to buy larger tires but decided to use the factory PS4s for now. Most likely will go with either 265 or 255 size tire in the future.

Here are the wheel specs:
Enkei NT03 18x9.5 +27
Michelin PS4 P235/40/R18 (factory tires)
No added spacers. Just retained the OEM rear spacers.

Are you running extended studs or using the factory studs?
