Guest RandyButternubs Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) 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!

drift_bear Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited November 7, 2013 by drift_bear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Please don't swear and 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.

Chris Bailey Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited November 7, 2013 by Chris Bailey (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RandyButternubs Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Depending on offsets, 275 may rub on the arches if they aren't rolled. That's why I said a 40 offset... Dads are a 275/30/19 with a +40 offset all round and they don't rub on stock arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RandyButternubs Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Did you have to roll the arches? (ive just found the reply with quote function, makes much more sense!) The 265/35 will fit under a stock arch, mine are rolled due to the drag radials I use some times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 i run a 275/35/19 on the rear of mine without issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RandyButternubs Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 the 275 on my 9.5 sits square to the wheel, no bulge or stretch This was using eagle F1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBDevelopments Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway they are going to replace the back tyres with 265/30 R19 so hopefully all will be right with the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited November 8, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
