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.

On the bright side, you get better traction ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
That’s why a lot of sedan in Malaysia went for 185 for their 15/16 inch sized tyre, looks good on the side and better fuel efficiency
