Bentley wheels bought :-)
So my baby got new shoes
19", 9J ,ET41 Bentley GT two piece monsters Guys only question rgds tyres. They are wrapped in 275/40 all around. Can I easily drive on those or swap for my 255/40s ? By chart it will be 2% faster vs speedo (60mph on speedo in real world 61.4mph) and diameter is 16mm bigger |

Very nice Borys!
I would think they should fit, there is plenty of room under the D3 wheel arches so apart from the speedo difference there shouldnt be any other issues. Your spare wheel shouldnt be used though if the difference in rolling radius is more than 2% it will through up faults due to the sensors thinking one of the wheels is slipping

275/40 on 19x9 ET41 will fit just fine on the D3. The tyre walls will be more or less straight, as in my opinion looks better than stretched tyres.

I'm not keen on this style on 8, but they are a very nice wheels indeed mate
The width is exactly as it should be. 255s are for rims width up to 8.5J, from 9J you should fit 265+ ideally 275s by the book. I have 275/35 on 20'' 9J, correct size for this wheel. When are you putting them on ???

Indeed, I saw this Flying Spur in Chelsea, London...
Must have a p!ss poor alarm system if the car didn't even realise it was having its wheels nicked. Most will probably end up on an old A4 or Golf Not to rain on your parade, but I would try and track the wheels back if possible. Where did you buy them from anyway, just out of interest? They are still bloody nice though
