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.

I have a set of 225/35/19 on Helios ready to go on my golf.i was advised to stick with 35 rather than the 40 which I would have preferred.

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.
