Any negative effects of 18x9.5 and 18x10 with same tire sizes?

Let me explain,

I have two 18x9.5 et22 Apex EC-7 carried over from my 135 (actually an M3 fitment) my 1 had the ER wide body in the front. I purchased two Apex EC-7 18x10 (all they had left at the time) going to order the other 2 soon for a square setup.

But, I have track day soon (this weekend) and have a set of 4 - NT-01s 275/35/18. Can anyone foresee side effects of running 18x9.5 with 275 front and 18x10 with 275 Rear? At least until I get the other two 18x10 delivered to me?

Thanks for any input.

i run 275/35/18 all around with 18x10 front and 18x10.5 rear. no problem running them but you cant rotate them all around but other than that runs perfect.

I ran 275 on all four corners with 18x9.5 and 18x10 as you described without any problems at all. I have since gone to a stagger on that set of wheels with my RS3's but that was only because of what tires were available when I ordered them.

You will be fine and no need to order 2 more wheels if you don't want to (other than being able to rotate them front to back)

cool, good to know! rotating front to back not a big deal, since tread is usually only for wet conditions I can just switch sides. I know not the same, but still adds ome life to the tires.

thanks for the input!

You may get a slightly different contact patch due to a smaller width rim up front, but completely within acceptable rim widths for NT01 275/35/18 (9.0"-11.0")
