Bit confused with tyre sizes, e.t.c, and off-sets .......
would 20" wheels compared to 19" wheels, bring my ride height up at all ?
Currently have BBS 19" wheels, which are >
Front > 245/35/19
Rear>275/35/19
And im not to sure on the offset ,anyone know ?
I have done the following calculation to work out the distance (mm) from centre of wheel to ground>
19" is approx 485mm, diveded that by 2 to give 245.2, then i have added the 35 mm tyre profile, giving me a total of 277.5mm, this being from the centre of the wheel to ground.
Right now the confusing bit, i have seen a set of wheels i like but they have a smaller profile on the rear compared to the front, they are 20" and are as follows >
Front>245/35/20"
Rear>285/30/20"
Is this correct ?
If i do the same calculation above with the 20" wheels and 30mm profile, it works out as follows >
20" is approx 505mm, divide that by 2 = 252.5mm, then add the 30mm profile, gives you 282.5mm
So then
20" = 282.5
take off
192 = 277.5
will give me a 5mm height increase, does all this make sense and can any one shed any light on this for me ?, Another thing, im thinking will the 20" wheels and them tyre sizes fit in my arch's or will there be a bigger gap, any advice, much greatfull guys and girls.
Thanks
