18 x 9.5J track wheels?

[glendog74]

I know a few of you run 18 x 9J for track wheels...

Has anyone had experience of 18 x 9.5J all round?

Any potential clearance issues using 265/35/ZR18 Cups? (I run -2.5 degrees camber at front)

Depends on offset Rob, I reckon with a 27 offset they would be fine.

I run 265 35 18 on 9j rims with success, so 9.5 no advantage really for me.

Why ET27? Is that the optimum offset to avoid contact interference?

How about 18 x 10.5J ET28 on rears only with 18 x 9.5J ET41 on fronts?

Out of interest, what are the ETs on the standard CSL 19" Cup wheels?

will this not cause the car to tramline or "track" quite badly?

With that offset you may be tucked in the arch a little, they might be perfect, just try them. Suck it and see.

It will look so schweet Rob;)

You have PM by the way.

Cheers mate - i should get away with it... Just :whistle:

Given the clearance I have at 9" ET26 - 2.5 I would think you need an ET 30-32.

This picture is with slightly less camber, maybe -2

I have finally received my TD 18 X 9" et30's, just need to bang some rubber on them now !
Rob, you obviously not bothered about running 2 diff sizes then ?

Not overly, i want to keep the staggered wheel setup on the car - just as Munich designed it to be :thumbs:

Editted for you ;)

Is the staggered setup THAT important really? and why ? what is the standard track width front and rear of the CSL?

Rob, missed this when on holiday but i run 18x9.5J all round (Volks) with 265x35 Cups both -3 and -2 camber with no rubbing whatsoever

front are et37 with 3mm spacers therefore effectively et34. this runs it very close to the spring/damper assembly but along way from the wheel arch hence why i can run -2 camber without touching wheel arch or liner. i had to use shortended follower springs on the front intrax or slightly bigger spacers might have been necessary

rears are et15 with no spacers and differnent wheel design to keep the look of a deeper dish as the staggered look so i get it both ways

only downside to my set up is rims are not interchangeable front to back BUT tyres are which is fine as plenty of time between trackdays to swap the tyres over :thumbs:

i would recommend borrowing a pair of the rims from someone who has them and trial fit to make sure they work on your car
