flirt Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 19 inch nismo wheels, what size tyres can you fit? I think the current rays 18 inch have a wall depth of 55 mm, i dont want to go below 40 as ive had 35mm elastic bands before and they are nothing but trouble. ? Quote
Guest prescience Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 I think you may be getting confused by your sums? For the current 18s (on the rear) the spec is 245x45x18which means that the wall depth is 45% of 245mm or 110mm. This gives a rolling radius of 9" plus 110mm or 339mm Check this out here... http://www.torquecars.co.uk/Tuning/alloy-wheels.php For 19" rears, the recommended size to ensure you don't run into slip light issues is to run a 275x35x19 tyre which equates to a wall width of 35% of 275mm or 96 mm. This gives a rolling radius of 9.5" plus 96mm or 338mm (i.e. very close to existing spec) Quote
flirt Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 well you learn a new thing every day!! i always thought the 35 represented 35mm not a percentage of the width of tyre! thank you... 100mm tyre wall is fine Quote
