I had five 18X9.5 +25 Konig Miligrams but bent two of them and I have been unable to find any for sale. So I'm looking to buy a new set of wheels for tracking. The Konigs fit perfectly and I like to get as close to the same offset and I would like to avoid spacers. I would really like to find something under $300/wheel. Any suggestions?

 

Konig Hypergram

 

There are shops that specialize in straightening wheels

Maybe some would frown on that procedure if these are track wheels, but just a thought

 

What prompts you to dislike spacers?

 

Enkei NT03+M 18x9.5 +27 if you don't care about running a front spacer.

If not, Enkei NT03+M 18x10.5 +30. No spacers needed if you aren't running crazy wide tires.

 

Thank you very much. Looked up the Konigs and I'll probably go with them, even though I'm a little pissed about the discontinuation of the Milligrams.

I will also check into the Enkei's. Is a front spacer required for a +27, is it that close (25 works find)? Also, 10.5 are intriguing and could have a future someday.

I asked the shop and they though that the rims were too far gone, and I can live with that (they were bent in contact with a tire wall at ~ 40 mph). My studs are good for a flush fit, spacers = new studs. Also, one more pos to deal with when RR tires for brake maintenance.

 

The 18x10.5 nt03 require a large spacer up front. I had 20mm on mine and couldn't have gone too much smaller. Maybe 17mm

I just got a set of Weds tc105n's 18x9.5 in the mail today. So light and super strong. We used the hell out of our 18x10.5" last season and they're straight as an arrow.

 

OP has a Evo 10. No spacer needed to clear calipers.

struts are a different story depending on tire and strut configuration.

with 275/35/18 NT01 and ohlins at not super low configuration:

No spacer:







5mm spacer:



12mm spacer:

 

The 18x9.5 +27 require a 5mm on the front. You can do that with the stock studs. Also, APR studs are super easy to install. I did that when I moved to a larger spacer.

Also, Gram Lights 57DR 18x9.5 come in +22

 

I didn't even realize OP has an Evo X. You should only be looking at 10.5" wide wheels...lol. The Konig Hypergram in 18x10.5 +25 fits perfect.

 

on what suspension? fender rolling required?

 

GL 57Transcend come in 18x9.5 +25. About 375 per wheel though and ~20lbs.

 

H&R springs on the MR bilstiens. Rear fender fully rolled, doesn't rub with 275/35r18's

 

Another vote for 57DRs. I just put an order for Volk CE28SLs 18x9.5 +22, but was also looking at Advan RGD2 in the same size. Can't go wrong with Rays or Advans.

I don't know why but this image turned me on:

 

Since I'm now looking at the Hypergrams as well, Konig lists the 18x10.5 +25 as 1 lb less than the 18x9.5 +25. However given Razorlabs pics with Ohlins, it looks like at least a 3 mm spacer (and therefore extended studs) would be needed to give some breathing room with 275/35-18 NT01s (or Maxxis RC-1s?) on the inside. So is the weight savings is essentially cancelled out between the 9.5 vs 10.5? The pro of going with the 10.5 is better fitment with a variety of 275/35 tires, correct?

While it was mentioned that 5 mm spacer could be used with stock studs, since (my) primary use is at the track, is it worth the risk?
