Volk TE37 question...

I came upon a set of brand new set of black TE37. It has these specs:

18x9.5 +40mm offset, 18x10.5 +45mm offset, 5x114.3 bolt pattern

The seller said that he ordered them in MKIV Supra's fitment so I wondering if it also fit FD3s. Anyone know for sure please inform me.
Thanks!!!

they will will fit the bolt pattern, but with that wide of wheels you are going to have to run a narrow tire 245-255 probibly. This way you most likely wont have the tire hitting your suppension, but then again if it does hit, that just means its time for some coiovers, if you dont have them allready.

i run 17x9f and 17x10 rear with 255-40 all around and there is not much room between the tires and the supension so dont foreget to use a narrow tire.

The 18x9.5 +40 wheels won't work on the front.

i have 18x10's in the back 44mm offset i believe. I wish they were closer to a 50 then i could run a 285 over the 265 i am using.
I think with a 10.5 youll be forced to run a 285 minimum. At least the 265 on the 10" rim is too narrow, it works but is at the limit. Any wider than a 265 will likely hit the fender unless its rolled. Over me youll lose about 7mm on the inside and extend 5mm on the outside, and knowing how mine fit Im gonna have to say youll definatly have a hard time fitting these with a proper tire unless you roll the fenders.

And as already said the fronts wont work, they will stick out too far.

Well yeah of course it depends...

Mine are 40, I thought he said his were 40 but I guess that was some other thread. Too many wheel / rim threads down here :\
