[carlton x]

im going to order some 19" jade r's next week and they come with 245/40/19 s all round has any1 got this size wheel and tyre ,are there any rubbing etc, also any pics as id like to see how much of the arch they fill, without lowering, cheers

[Vik54]

Do you not stagger sizes once you up to 19"s then?

[Neilp]

The rear wheels should be a staggered size ie wider. On 19" 245 Tyres should be 35profile.

 

The pro's will be along soon to tell you correctly

[Husky]

tyres size all wrong. what widths are the wheels?

Not a good combo I'm afraid

 

fronts should be 255 35 19 on 8.5" to 10" rims = + 0.21% difference

rears should be 285 35 19 on 9.5" to 11" rims = + 0.65% difference

OR

245/35/19 on 8" to 9.5" rims = -0.85% difference at the front

275/35/19 on 9" to 10.5" rims = -0.38% difference at the rear

 

 

Hope you're not thinking of using DP Motorsport

[Simon+Kat]

Have DP motorsport got a bad rep then?

[carlton x]

no not dp its wheel base, but i think im going to get the alloys only now i can get them staggerd now i knw what it means , thanx for the advice guys

[Neilp]

The actual wheels should be a staggered size, ie 8.5" on front 9.5" on rears. There's no point in buying wheels and then trying to stagger the tyre size as it won't work or may be dangerous.

Nonsense

how is it nonsense? im pretty sure a rim has a related/recommended tyre size which will fit safely, and then there will be a limit either smaller and larger becoming more and more stretched or hanging over the rim, where to a point they become unsafe or less safe?

You never said that though did you ?

 

The wheels DONT have to be staggered & neither do the tyres.

 

OEM wheels are 8J on all 4 corners, the Rays are staggered
