Recommend 18 x 8J front/9J rear light weight rim

[Ahbengdriver]

Looking for s set of 18s, probably as spares or maybe even to track in future.

Wanted to follow BMW's recomended 8/9J but realised that most of the popular 18s are in 8.5/9.5J, ie as wide as the 19s. It seems the Jap rims like Volks and Advan are like that:screwedu: .

Any suggestions?

3M,

if 8.5/9.5J, more rubber slows the car vs 8/9J ?

slower due to slightly increased weight n rolling resistance but then u have more grip and ur car needs grip than anything else.....
