18x8 225/40 front, 255/35 rear +38, I run a 8mm spacer in the front, still need a small spacer in the rear to bring them out a tiny bit.

Ya but a 17x8 with a zero offset for the front?
And the rear 17x9 with a 20 offset?
Im not a rim expert but I dont think those are the right offsets we need.

the front is a slight problem, the rear is perfect.

I've always been a fan of the SSR Reverse or Formula mesh in 17x9 or 10... I could never find a set in the right offsets though.

I needed them for Enkei, and for Work.
I always thought they were easy to get, until I needed some.

I contacted enkei directly- no dice.

i feel the same way, but you can have a functional fitment without killing looks...the TE37's you posted could have been done to look good, and be functional.

TE's need some kind of concave to them

As requested, more pics
Note the front spoiler was painted black. I think it helps set the front end off.

advans are not for me as I think they are ugly! And a few of my friends had 18" rims on thier fc and I think those look to big up front and too much hassle. Now a 17 in the front ans 18 in the rear could work.
