Ok folks. So I'm looking for wheels that are 18x8.5 with a +63 offset or very close to that offset.

Please don't tell me about 17s or offsets not close to +63.

So far the best offset I've found was +55 but I want it as closer to +63.

Thanks.

 

I've never seen any in 8.5" width, but I know TSW does make the Nurburgring and Interlagos styles in 18x9 +63. That is pretty close to what you are looking for.

I have the 17" version of the Nurburgrings (17x9 +63, all around) and love them. They fit without any fender modifications. The 18s probably do too.

Here are some pictures of them on my car at autocross, if you are interested.

 

Yes, 18x9 is probably going to be the size you want.

 

Googling it seems this is an very uncommon size. I came up with some old veilslide wheels and some other 2 or 3 piece wheels I have never heard of. You could always rebarrel some multipiece wheels to this size but that is rarely cost effective and they tend to be heavy. It seems even wheels where you can order semi custom offsets the highest is +50 for an 8.5 (forgestar). You can always go full custom ordered wheels but those tend to cost over $1k a wheel.

 

Absolutely needs to be 8.5 width. Its for racing purposes.

There you go. $700 a wheel.

 

Nice find manga im sure your gratuity check is in the mail.

Seems like such a waste though to go with the expense and custom ability to just run a stock fitment wheel.

I know this is a horrid question to ask, but why not just run stock wheel in this case?

 

^My thoughts as well. That's a lot of money for no added grip over the oem ap2 wheels and going to an 18 doesn't really do anything for handling either. Maybe a slightly stiffer sidewall due to the reduced sidewall height? I doubt it would really be that noticeable though.

 

Personally I like the directness of handling from less sidewall deflection, but with a properly built tire with a stiff carcass 17s are totally fine, certainly at the widths/traction level we are looking at here. I don’t know what these Works weigh off the top of my head, but id be concerned with a downgrade in performance simply from a overall weight stand point. Stock 17's are no lightweight but still may be lighter then these 18” works and there sure some lighter weight options in 17's that can be had at 8.5" without needing to roll fenders for a particular racing class.
