19x8.5 wheels
« on: January 26, 2014, 10:34:00 pm »
Who's running 19x8.5 rims and what size tyres you using. I was considering 225/40/19 but after reading on here I'm thing a 35 could be better. I'm running fairly low on coilys.
Cheers sean

215/35/19 will give you stetch, but also gives you a bit more clearance from the archers

Not fussed about stretch the as I ran stretch on me last summer wheels and the lips got mullered with stone chips.
Might have to bite the bullet though and see what happens.

Looks like it's gonna be 225/35/19 then and then maybe a spacer just to push em out a tad more.
Cheers for the advice.
