Tyre size on 19" 9.5 failed wof!

Hope this is posted in the right place, lots of groups bit overwhelming for my poor female brain (ha) I have looked through threads but most refer to 18" mags.

 

Right i have 19" 8.5 on the front with 235/35 and i have 19" 9.5 on the rear also with 235/35. Now when i got these done i thought hmm.. that looks odd (there is a gapon the rear wheels between mag rim and tyre, can fit the tip of my finger in there) but the mag guy he selected the tyres for my new shiney's said nup shes all good, perfectly normal..any larger tyres on the back will rub.

 

Well i just failed WOF (in new zealand, not sure if you guys have this overseas, kinda like saftey check for ur car every 6 months) he says the tyre/rim combination is not right and needs written confirmation from the manufacturer to pass me. The tyre is within the LVVTA guide lines here in NZ (http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/infosheets/LVVTA_Info_01-2) but still wants the written confirmation.

 

My question to all you knowledgable fellas is what tyre would you guys put on a 19" 9.5? and will the the guard need rolling if i go to a larger tyre size???

 

So annoyed, car has no WOF so can't use it till this stuff is sorted. Should have just gone for 8.5 on both BAH!

Please don't swear ;) and :welcome:

 

Staggered fitment is what you want on a rear drive car.

On a 9.5 rim I would go no less than 245/35. Personally though, I would go at least 265/35, or if you can get away with it, 275/35.

 

When I had 19x10.5 wheels on the back, I had a 295/30 but I have massive arch roll work done, and they still rubbed over big bumps.

 

As I said, I'd recommend at least 265/35 for the rears.

275/30/19 maximum on a 9.5J Rim - They will also fit under the stock arches with a 40 offset :)

 

If I were you, I would be running either:

 

Fronts:

 

235/35/19

245/35/19

 

Rear

 

265/35/19

275/30/19

 

Depending on offsets, 275 may rub on the arches if they aren't rolled.

Lol sorry, there was an automatic profanity filter so didn't think it would be a problem. I didn't even know that the S word is filter worthy ha, but noted :)

Yeah i was thinking that, rolling is definately not something i'm keen to do. Do you think i'd get away with no rolling on a set of 255's?

 

I'm not entirely sure what offset is but if you let me know i can find out (i think)

I run the following set up -

 

Front - 8.5" = 235/35/R19

Rears - 9.5" = 265/35/R19

 

Welcome btw, get some pics and a spec up in the "newbie" section for all to see

 

I might have to do just that, thanks :) Still trying to find my way around this website, its awesome though!

Did you have to roll the arches? (ive just found the reply with quote function, makes much more sense!)

It all depends on the offset of the wheels.

 

This should be stamped on the wheel, or on a sticker on the wheels. It should read (along the lines of)

19 x 9.5 ??JJ

The only thing i can find on the mag wheel itself is some metal plates with numbers stamped on each but nothing really to point to one in particular (just tried to upload picture but says i don't have permission) My guess its in a place that can only be seen with the wheel off. Not that i think this is what your after the tyres say 235/35 ZR19W XL.

The place i purchased the set from have just said they will upgrade the tyres and i pay the difference so really happy with that. So now its down to 255 or 265, i do think the 275 will be too big...

 

You guys are awesome by the way, thanks for all the comments. Wanted a supra since i was 17 so i darn well want to take care of it and do things right now that i have one.

well that depends on the offset, but when i was running about 3/4" tyre to arch gap no it didn't rub. But i lowered the car down so the tyre was level with the arch and it did a little then, but i had a simple roll (no cutting or anything, just lip fold) and it clears fine now and is my daily drive

 

Yup wish i knew what the offset was, kinda like asking you guys how long is a peice of string. But anyway they are going to replace the back tyres with 265/30 R19 so hopefully all will be right with the world. :)

265/35/19

 

265/30/19 will make the wheel smaller and less comfortable.

 

EDIT. not to confuse you, but I have 265/30/19 on the back

The offset dictates how far out or in the edge of the rim sits away from the hub.

 

Put a picture up of your car showing the rear wheels, rear arch's then we can give a decent guess

as to what you'll get away with. A photo like this one of my car then we can see how far out your

wheels are.

 

255 265 is the nominal size on a 9.5" wide wheel

Grr i had to use flash as its night time here and garage lights are usless, the wheels look so tiny. They are most prob pretty useless but here are a couple of pics anyway. If you want a diff angle let me know i'll do my best. bah1.jpgbah2.jpg
