Anyone try a square 18x9.5 with a 275/35 for track/autocross
I know 18x10 ET25 seems to be the go to for the limited people running the the square setup on the F80.
Wondering if you went with the 18x9.5 which offsets would work with an Extreme Performance 275/35R18 Tire? Also if anyone has this installed how flush do they sit? Thanks

18X9.5 is too narrow fow optimal track performance.

Assuming he is basing it on tire width for the rear from his experience. Rim width shouldn’t make a difference as a 275/35 fits fine in a 9.5” wheel I think.

Just in general. A 9.5” wide wheel will not be able to extract the maximum performance from 275 tire. A 275 tire is the bare minimum that should be used at the rear for track duty and is not really sufficient to extract the performance of the engine and chassis.

9.5" square wheels work great (with 255 tires) on my 240 hp E36 race car weighing in at 2600lbs.
I used 9.5" wide wheels on the M4 once for a drifting event, was fine for that.

Lots of M2 guys are running 18x9.5” square setups with 275/35 on the Tire Rack Rims. I understand the power from the N55 is different than a S55, etc. |
