Wheels option for track 18x9.5 et 25

AriuSen · 04-03-2016, 04:20 PM

Hey guys,

Any company that makes wheel this size so that way I dont need to use spacers?

Funny how a 25 doesnt rub, but a 22 rubs =(

Why not run E35 and a spacer? Plenty of options then

I've been trying to get a grasp on wheel numbers and thought I had it figured out. Wouldn't an offset of 22 give you 3mm more clearance on the inside than an ET 25? If not, I'm really confused.

To each their own. I know of at least two people running spacers on Z4M dedicated track cars without issue.

Which wheel is rubbing and where? If the difference in 3mm is causing rub, you have 2 options:

1. Leave it be, it'll self correct or

2. Moar camber.

yes... 22 will give you more clearance on inside... my problem is the outside.

it's rubbing all 4.
i already have - 3.5 on front and - 2.5 rear
problem is that doesn't rub on top part of fenders... it runs on the sides when I hit bumps, and my car wasn't even that low

I can't just live with it, cuz 1 tire got destroyed and I threw away.

offset 25 is perfect for me.... i found one.... advan rs-d... they r super light too... I think I'm getting that one.

Forgestar is a great option to custom order a size and offset for a reasonable price. It does take them 8-10 weeks to build and ship though. I recently ordered a set of Forgestar CF5 18x9.5et52 in gloss black for the TT RS so I can run 275/35 tires without rubbing or spacers.

18" x 9.5" et 25 is a common fitment on E60 5 series with staggered sports package. Unfortunately that's not a common car people track. Also you'll need a thin by centric ring adapter.

Some of the bigger wheel companies that also make wheels for 5 series may have them in light weight track able rims, like BBS.

I ended up finding a volk TE from a friend used 18x9.5 et28. 3mm is acceptable compared to the thick 10mm one.
thanks!

Also Enkei NT03+M has a 18x9.5 et 25 that has the 5x120 bolt pattern too. Along the same lines I believe there are a few Rays options that would be in that et25-30 range.

Um...Yeah, it's the 10" wide rims I saw with et25. Sorry.

Too bad that Apex don't make the Mustang offsets readily available to us. They make a 18" x 9.5" with et25 but with 5x114.5mm bolt pattern. IMO that's the PERFECT offset for this car.
