i bought a set of TE37, i went 9.5 inch because i thought bigger is better and that’s everyone’s going with.
but that would limit your tyre choice, you have to go wide for it to not stretch. in my case i have to go 255/35/18 semi-slicks or 265/35/18 UHP tyres.
you’re adding so much weight which hurts driving dynamics, comfort, efficiency. i think it’s so counterintuitive - you buy a set of forged wheels to save a few kg of unsprung mass, but you add it all back in again with wider tyres… I wished i had gone with a 9J lol…
remember kids:
- if you wanna get wheels go for the narrowest rims possible and achieve that fitment with offset.
- consider the size of the tyres you will put on before buying the wheels. popular sizes are cheaper and more competitively priced.
