19" BBS CH's offset and tyre size help please.
« on: January 31, 2012, 07:37:07 pm »
Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about getting a set of 19" BBS CH replicas. The sizes are: 19" x 8.5" width with an ET of 42

On the tyre size front I was thinking 235 x 35 x 19's

How do you guys think those will be for rubbing and general fitment and stuff?

Thanks.

Ive got 19x8.5 wheels on my van with those tyres and the tyres are a bit stretched and you can see the edge of the rim.

Mine are also et45 but I've not tried them on the car yet... but on the van thats the lowest offset I'd want as they are dead flush and on the verge of poking out too much

Tyre size is correct, but you will get rubbing on heavy cornering or big bumps.  :happy2:

So what offset would be best?

Or would I be better sourcing an 8" rim?

With 235 wide tyres you need at least ET48 or better ET50.

ET45 is fine with 225 + 8.0".
