Anyone running TE37s?
 
I've always wanted a set of real TE37s and I am finally planning to pull the trigger on a set soon, but I'm not sure if they fit with big brake kits. I have an 11" Wilwood Dynalite 4-piston setup up front from 949 that I bought back in 2011, and I run 01+ sport rotors in rear . My 97M wheels clear the front calipers by maybe 1mm. It's super close but I've never had any contact. However I've heard of others with 97M wheels not being able to fit the same kit. For the TE37s I'm leaning towards the 15x7 +35 "face 4" size since these will be mostly street.

Not many people seem to run these wheels, but I've seen many people run the Rota Grid knockoffs. A lot of those people say they don't fit under the sport brakes, much less 11+ inch brake kits. I contacted Rev9 about fitment and they basically said, "if they fit under OEM, they should fit these." That's not very reassuring for such an expensive purchase. If I have to run spacers I will just find a different set of wheels.

As unpopular as they are around here, I'd also consider running these in 16x7 size if that helps fitment, though it seems the interference mostly comes from the backside of the spokes and not the barrel.

I’ve ran them on an NA with stoptech’s 11” kit, no clearance issues. 15x8, +20 I think? I can check.

edit: +35 with a 10mm spacer.

That's great news. I think a +20 would push the spokes further away from the caliper, all else being equal though.

This is all I'm working with right now:
