I know this thread exists, ive seen it but cant find it at all, so...

What is the lightest wheel tire combo?

 

If you mean aftermarket (not OE), then the AMT wheels (19"'s= F17lbs/R 21.5lbs) with Michelin PS2's (F22lbs/R28lbs) are the lightest combo.

The new Pirelli P0's Fronts are lighter by 1 lb (21lbs) than PS2's.

how about for 18's?

 

im thinking about going back to 18's... from seat of the pants, my car feels slower with the lighter 19's on it... I know it changes the gearing of the car but does it make that big of a difference?

 

Why didn't you say so before I researched my post?????

No experience on the 18"s sorry. Sure somebody knows.

Cheers-

 

It should NOT have changed the gearing if you sized the tire/wheel combo properly. Use the calculator to check your overall outside circumference which would cause any possible change in gearing.

I would guess the Volk 18's are right up there in the lightest 18" wheel category for our cars.

 

wow at price on those wheels mentioned above.. id rather have some Volks... some guy is selling some on the other forum but they are 19" which is too big for me..

 

I have CCW 9x18 and 12x18 for track wheels.

Think they are around 19lbs front and 22lbs rear.

 

I have 18" Volk TE37 Wheels for the track, the fronts (18 x 9) weigh 18 lbs each and the rears (18 x 11) are only 20 lbs each. I have a also seen a lot of Fikse and CCW at the track.

 

The OZ's are even lighter.

 

19" champions are forged and weigh only 20/21lbs respectively... I believe they can custom make 18s for you which would be even lighter
