Love it!!! what is the camber/Alignment? any rubbing under hard compression?
We're running MCS 3-way coilovers and SPL arms... With that said, -3.5 camber in the front, no rubbing at all.

They are pre production, I believe they will be available next year.Were these custom made? I don't see them on the APEX site.
This is true, custom could be the way to go. Ours starts at 19s, too bad we just don't have pics of it yet. But hope this pic of the same wheel design will do for now although it's in 20s.Doesn’t seem to be a ton of options in the 18s space. Seems like most manufacturers went the 19 route. Here is to hoping more options appear in the 18 space. I guess custom will have to be the way to go
Love this setup! Great looking wheels at a Super affordable price! Whats the width and offet...9.5 ET22 or ET38?Just wanted to go ahead and showcase my Supra on its new 18 inch Kansei Roku's.
Cheaper tires, much more tire options but 19" are catching up nowadays, ability to run the car lower "center of gravitiy", Bigger sidewall tires "better grip mid cornering on track", oh yea and real race cars are on 18's. Im sure im missing some other reasons.What's the advantage of 18" wheels? I'm having trouble finding 305 rears in 18" other than R888R
I would go for these in a heartbeat if you offered them in 18"
I disagree. There are way more 19" tires available and are priced similarly to 18" if you can find same tire. The only performance reason someone would go to 18" is for the sidewall.Cheaper tires, much more tire options but 19" are catching up nowadays, ability to run the car lower "center of gravitiy", Bigger sidewall tires "better grip mid cornering on track", oh yea and real race cars are on 18's.

This is easy. Look into YOKOHAMA ADVAN A052 tires. Many size options for you! I run 18x10 and 11' and running 275 upfront with 295 in the rears. Plenty of tire for such a small footprint vehicle.I was looking at 18x10 and 18x11 wheels, but can't really find tires for this setup other than Toyo Proxes R888r which I'm not sure are a good choice for street use, even though it rains less than 10-15 days a year in California
I looked into the A052 Advan, are you running the 275/40/18 front and 295/35/18 rear?This is easy. Look into YOKOHAMA ADVAN A052 tires. Many size options for you! I run 18x10 and 11' and running 275 upfront with 295 in the rears. Plenty of tire for such a small footprint vehicle.
Yes! those are the sizes im running and Manyyyyyy others are running as well. No issues on the street whatsoever. The grip is unreal, consistent! on the track of coarse.I looked into the A052 Advan, are you running the 275/40/18 front and 295/35/18 rear?
Does this cause any problems with traction control on the street, or is there a way to calibrate the system after new tires of different diameters?
I don't need to track a car in order to understand simple math... if everything else is the same the only difference in tires are the sidewall going from 19's to 18's. Also, if you sticking with same overall diameter, typically there will be very little difference in cost.Disagree? 18's only for sidewall? im assuming you have never ran a car on a track?
Most importantly which i forgot to mention, 18's will always be lighter than most 19" wheels, hence why Professional race teams still use 18's to THIS VERY DAY! its affordable...helps alot with Consumables!
