Track Wheel Suggestion

MaximusB · 08-07-2019, 04:36 PM

Currently looking to get a set of dedicated track wheels. I've narrowed my options down to the followings:

Apex SM-10 - 18x10" ET25 at $1676/set
Titan7 T-R10 - 18x10.5" ET25 at $2100/set
Titan7 T-R10 - 18x9.5" ET22 front and 18x10.5" ET25 rear at $2100/set

My car is stock zcp and I don't plan on upgrading the suspension any time soon. I also have stoptech ST-60 and ST-40 BBK. The forum vendor already confirmed none of the above wheels will have clearance issues with my BBK.

Cost wise it is seems like a no brainer, Titan is the way to go since they are forged. But will I rub if I go with their square setup at 10.5" wide up front? Also for track only, would I benefit from going 10.5" square or should I go with the 18" staggered?

Oops! My bad, accidentally made the thread in the general forum. Admin please move to the wheel/tire sub-forum please.

10.5" ET22 front might be pushing it...

Bimmerworld has a forged 18x10. They are on sale right now.

There are already a few threads on staggered vs square for the track you can check out:

Not all forged wheels are created equal.

Thanks! Great info. I am now leaning towards staggered 18s after reading all those threads.

If I go with 18x9.5" front and 18x10.5" rear, what tire size should I go with? Apex recommends 265/35 front and 285/35 rear, but not many tires are available in 285/35 size.
