Like the title says, I am going to do a different route of a w202 that you don't see everyday. Once I saw this wheel, it instantly became my favorite wheel.

VR TE37 SL
5x114.3 bolt pattern
Offset either 35 or 40.
I want 18x9.5 all around.
For the fronts I know I have to roll the fender a lot more but I want a flush aggressive look.

My question is, obviously I need wheel adapters since w202 are 5x112.
So my wheel adapter is 5x112 to 5x114.3
Standard offset for the w202 is 35.

With the Wheel adapter on, which offset would fit without any rubbing or issues . Offset 35 or 40 on the TE's. Those are the only 2 options I can get from ordering 18x9.5?
Any advice would help Thanks!

Perhaps not.

Volks wheels are geared towards JDM and KDM. However I recently saw one installed on a BMW M3. It may either be a custom or they have it off the shelf.

Thought someone was running those already....a sick ass blown one?... Maybe i was mistaken. Imo seems like alot of hassle maybe find some of the rota knockoffs which iam sure come in our pattern. None the less its a sexy wheel just seems like you could end up with just a nice wheel thats been proven an save...good luck

Here's a buddy of mine. He's rolling in a w203, but none the less it's what inspired me to do volks.

Offset for the G2 is 40 in front and 50 in rear.

He's running 25mm wheel adapters. That what I was going to do, but since its a w203 it might be slightly different. That's why I wanted to get advice from you guys.

I run wobble bolts to fit my 114 to the 112,works fine!.

Yeah I was looking at that! This would save a lot! plus it wouldn't change the offset. However, when I purchase these wheels, I want to make sure I have wheel locks. With the Wobble bolts their is no wheel wobble bolt locks yet. :(

You do know how expensive TE37s are right? i wouldn't run wobbles on wheels that nice. Get adapters and do it right.

Is this towards me or the person before ? haha


But anyways thats right. I want to have wheel adapters so I can get a lock on it. I have confirmed that 25mm rear wheel adapter would be good with the offset of 40. So in total I would have a offset of +15? I dont know if +15 on the front would do good? anyone?
