Kekek - did you weigh those yourself? Everything I found said they were 23#. If you weighed them I will update my list . . .

The BC in 18x10+35 is 16.1#, the +12 version is about 16.3.

My WedsSport SA70 in 18x10 is 20.2# . . .

Right now I run a +32 offset rim in the front with a 10mm spacer - so an effective +22mm offset. I think I could fit another 10mm in there without much problem. . . but the back will take some creative work!

Yeah, I weighed the wheels myself. Those Weds are reltively light, not too pricey either. My 18x9.5's +35 I run a 10mm spacer (+25 effective). This gives me good breathing room on the shocks (Tein RA's). I would imagine the Ohlins have better clearance as I know the RA bodies are a little large. With no spacer rear I get rubbing on the trailing arm with a 285 V710, so there isn't any inboard room to work with. Although in SM you could run an alternate trailing arm$$$, I'm stuck in SP.

If you are rubbing on the rear trailing arm then a +12 offset will push the wheels out and solve your problem!

Just need to either get a widebody or go crazy with a Sawzall and and slap on some plastic fender flares like alot of the Honda and VW guys run in the SP classes !!

I am going to contact a vendor about setting up a group buy on the Buddy Club QFs. There HAS to be 8 or 9 more people in the world who wants the lightest 18x10 possible. . .

I know of a couple places you can order them out of Japan if you don't find anything. Thanks for the pics. I just want to run 18x9.5 and 265/35/18. No crazy offsets just a good fit. Maybe +28 F and +36 R. Rolling of course.
