So, it looks like OEM 18 inch wheels are 7.5 wide with 225 tires but aftermarket wheels like VMR and TSW come in 8.5 widths for the same 225 tire. I’m guessing they go with the wider rim so they can accommodate a broader range of tire widths with the same wheel? Any downsides to the larger rim if going with 225 except for maybe a heavier wheels since it’s wider?
