TE37 lip difference?

Hi there guys, i see alot of you guys who own te37's run 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with an offset either 34 or 36 in the rear being the popular offsets, does anybody know the difference in the lip in the rear between 34 and 36? pictures? i want to know which is the safer offset to go with for no rubbing and also a noticable lip versus the front, thanks

I don't understand what your talking about, TE-37's don't have lips, they get concave. Are you asking if they will be flush?

TE37 does have lips. the 34 and 36 is only a 2mm difference, that's a really really small difference. you may get fender rub if you go with a 265 or 275. i recommend getting a 255/30R19 in the rear.

also, go 19x9.5 all around. it'll look better/handle better.

I have 9.5 all around with a +45 offset and do not rub. With a +36 or 34 offset you will have greater chances of rubbing especially if you have a drop.
