Default 18" Square track wheel size

I am looking for recommendations on 18" wheels that I can run a 275/35/18 square set up without fender rolling or spacers. Must be able to clear the brembo brakes.


I have searched and search, looked at many different options, but no definitive answer.

Thanks,

Brad

Why are you looking at a square setup? Racing?

Mic is the tire/wheel man here...I'm sure you'll be hearing from him

RPF1 in 18x10.5 in the common and works great, but the rear fenders will need a slight roll.

You can drop to the 18x9.5 +15 and be fine without rolling

Personally I would buy a wheel with a width less then 10

Concur. ^^^ I'd go with RPF1 (or other Enkei "Race" wheel for a track-oriented car per the title.)

But, just my experience, I had to roll rears to take the occasional bump out of the back end with the 9.5 +15s but with 275/40 (nearly exact same rolling diameter as OE fit tires), not the 35s, which may work per terrasmak's recommend.

just as an example. My enkei RS05RR

front: 10" ET +12 - tire 265/35/18. camber -2 = no fender work (285 0r 275 did not work
for me) cleared brembo by 2mm.

Rear: 10.5" ET 15 - tire 295/35/18 camber -2 - no fender work. cleared brembo

so I am pretty sure you can do 10" ET +15 tires 265/35/18 all around without fender work and some camber.


I am only dropped .75
