18" wheel set for square setup

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I would like to get a second set of wheel fomr my M2 lci, for track use only, to use with 265/35/18.

I'm struggling to understand which rims to use. I would like to avoid Apex (custom duty in Europe) to get some cheaper option.

Is 9x18 or 10x the way to go? and which ET number?
Also, will this set fit with standard car (no camber ecc)?

Thank you so much for the help.

Apex has a great fitment page that breaks down all the options here. Even if you don't buy an Apex wheel, these fitments still stand true for other wheels and you can look for other wheels that have similar offsets in the size you want.

If you're going 265 square probably easiest just to stick with 18x9.5 and go anywhere from +35 to +22 (example).

Really just depends on how aggressive you're willing to go in terms of fitment, alignment, tire, etc.

Thanks for the answer.
I read the Apex guide, really helpfull Indeed.
The suggestion in the guide is for a 9.5x18 ET29, but the majority of brand here in Europe offers 9 or 10, not 9.5. So I do not know which one to go and which ET.

The aim is to mount 265/35/18 without need to change camber or put spacers.
