glrnet Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Choosing the correct tyre sizes for these size wheels:- Rears 19" x 10" Fronts 19" x 8.5" I think I know but would really appreciate input from you more knowledgeable "tyre guys" Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 245 35 19 front, 275/285 35/30 19 rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have 8.5 and 10s. They are on 20s but I have 245 and 285. Just depends on the offset etc as 245 and 285 are quite 'full' tyres. If you have a very aggressive offset you might need to go slightly narrower or choose a tyre with a softer shoulder curve. What tyres were you thinking of? What offset you running?

glrnet Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 **My Chrimbo present to me** After much searching I finally decided on these wheels. I have to say thank you for the patience and help from CS and Ben at Rarerims for my endless stream of tiresome (no pun intended) questions. Anyone as uneducated as me in the wonderful world of wheels would do well to talk to either of these companies. Today I collected these beauties from Rarerims and will post more pics when I get them on the car. They are Linea Corsa's 19 x 8.5 offset ET15 Fronts 19 x 10.0 offset ET20 Rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Have you decided on tyres yet Graham? Are you going to run it with spacers or not? I reckon a 285/35 on the rear will sit just right with no arch work. 245/35 on the front should sit nice too. If you plan on running spacers then you might have to go narrower on the tyres. Narrower Vreds would work well with spacers I reckon. MW Tech do a range of sizes including 10 and 15 so whatever you decide you'll be sorted!

glrnet Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Ideally without spacers Stew. Ben at Rare Rims says that they brought these wheels in with these offsets particularly with the Zed in mimind so I'm leaning that way at the moment. Vred's are my tyre of choice after reading Colin's recent review and I'll probably go 275/45 and 245/35. Hopefully this will allow the addition of small spacers if required Is Martin at MW back trading now? It might be worth PM'ing Ben as he expressed an interest in attending some Forum meets next year and I said I'd pass this on Have you decided on tyres yet Graham? Are you going to run it with spacers or not? I reckon a 285/35 on the rear will sit just right with no arch work. 245/35 on the front should sit nice too.
