anglais49 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I want to find the wheel first, I just needed to make sure that the wheel will fit on the car! If 8, 8.5 and 9 will all fit on the car as standard then happy days, I'll go choose one! Cheers find the wheel you want send us a link and well tell you if they will fit also if your arnt aware you need a PCD of 5x114 Why spacers? is that for any 275/9-wide rear?

Dude seriously, listen to the advice you are given. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but have you bought after market wheels before? You are asking ALL the WRONG questions when looking for new wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimum widths i would say are 8 front 9 rears, but you wont fit a 275 on a 9, 8.5 and 9.5 to run a 245 front & 275 rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cela rendra plus facile? Dude seriously, listen to the advice you are given. You are asking ALL the WRONG questions when looking for new wheels. Let me start by stating that I appreciate peoples' best intentions to offer help on this forum. it's such a great resource for all things Z that I overlook any condescension, patronisation and snide, self-inflating sarcasm and smugness of superior knowledge I encounter along the way without a second thought. Well, until now at least... The advice I'm being given is not answering the questions I'm asking. I understand what's being said, it's just no more relevant to me than replying with tomorrow's weather forecast. That doesn't mean I fail to comprehend the message. I clearly have a different approach to most here and that's ok with me, I don't claim to be in a majority. I just hoped I would still be able to get some advice even if I'm not going about things exactly as everyone here would themselves. I don't care about wheels, they don't interest me, they're just the bits of metal that sit inside the tyres. They're not performance parts, I don't care who makes them, what width they are, or about any other wheel-related facts or figures. As long as I find a set that I think look alright, that's good enough for me. The choice of wheel is not leading this project. On the other hand, I do know exactly which tyres I want to run and roughly what size I want them to be. I just need to make sure to buy wheels that will take Vredestein Sessantas, and that I know which spec tyres to fit to said wheels. If Mitz reckons 19" wheels are best suited to 245/35 front and 275/35 rear, that's good enough for me - he's always been spot on in my experience (though I have been recommended to go 275/30 at the rear). I've since been helpfully advised (from elsewhere) that 245 front tyres best suit 8-9" wide wheels, and 275 rears suit 9-10" wide. I don't like stretched tyres so would stick to the bottom of the range for each. It has also been suggested that I shouldn't have any problems fitting those widths inside standard arches. I had no idea what a PCD of 5x114 is, that is not jargon I've heard before - apologies if that demeans me in this exalted company. I Googled it and something to do with spacers came up, apparently erroneously. On further inspection, it appears to be the pattern and size of the nuts. The wheels I'm looking at all claim to be 5x114, so I seem to be on the right lines there (assuming they just left out the .3), so thank you for that guidance. If anyone has any other helpful advice on any of the above, I will welcome it warmly. If anyone has more patronising sarcasm, I will welcome it less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't give details about wheels if I don't have them.... Think I've settled on a set now though, 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. I'm led to believe that the 245/35 and 275/35or30 tyres should fit fine, or at least the people I'm buying both the wheels and the tyres from will advise on fitting sizes anyway, so should all work out.

So many things wrong with what you just wrote What ever. The patronising sarcasm part was not aimed at you Okay, I take my post back. We're trying to help but in the least patronising way of saying this, if you knew about wheel and tyres you wouldn't of started this thread. That's why we are trying to gather more information and advise you to choose a wheel 1st and then we can tell you what size tyre you need. Say for instance you choose an 11J rear wheel with +8 Offset. Yes you could have a 275 tyre on there, but it will stick outside of the Arch. So this is why we need information before we can help. Yes Mitz has said so and so sizes work, but that's if you go with the wheels he supplies etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was talk running lower if the rear is wider... tyre profile is subject to the wdith if the tyre is 275/35/18 the tyre is 275mm wide and the profile is 35% of the width(275mm) high does that make sense? so a 35 on a 245 is smaller than a 35 on a 275 Edited July 24, 2014 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
