The 18mm width is generally best suited for road or gravel rims with a narrower internal width. For the best seal, you should measure the internal width of your rim bed and choose a tape that is 1-2mm wider than that measurement to ensure it covers the spoke holes completely and reaches up the sidewalls slightly.
