What size tyres are you running?
I have found a wheel I like, it's 19" and it comes in 8" and 9.5", any thoughts on the best option/tire size as its only £5 difference per wheel.

Thats right 15mm on the rear each side. As for tyres I currently run 245/40 19 but will change to 255/40 19 soon I believe that is the max width you can put on an 8J rim. Not too sure about the 9.5inch width; what you'll proly find is that you won't need spacers for these going for a wider wheel is the better option than opting for spacers IMO but it depends on what they look like on the car & if they have the correct off set.  |
Guys,
This is a great site for wheel and tyre info. HiH
Remember, offset has a big part to ply in wheel fitting.
I am currently planning to fit 10.5" rears with a 40mm offset running 285/25-20 tyres. Wish I could find some 305/25-19 tyres but they don't seem to esist.
