Milo500 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Hi I currently have volk c-ultra 17" wheels on my mk4 with 265/40 back and 235/45 front tyres on there at the moment. The problem is, i have bought some new volk sf-challenges in 19" 9.5 back and 8.5 front with both et+38 ...but i have no idea about getting the right size tyres for the 19's...what would be a good tyre size for the new wheels? The supra is on the standard bilstein springs at the moment, but will be changed to coilovers eventually and be a bit lower. The old volks fitted the arches with room to spare, but were fairly close to the arch width ways when going over big bumps on the road. It currently has spacers on the old wheels but will be removed when the 19's go on. I don't really want much/any stretch or camber as cops are teally hammering down on it in my area, so what would you guys suggest?

Swampy442 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 255 is a good size on a 9.5J rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 These are the stock wheel and tyre sizes 17x8JJ +50, 235/45R17 17x9.5JJ +50, 255/45R17 Ideally you want to stay close to the stock tyre diameters, the easiest way to work this out is to use an online tyre calculator, put in the stock sizes and then compare different tyre sizes http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html This is a good guide to wheel and tyre widths http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/tyre-size-for-rim-width_topic60146.html If you want to keep the stock tyre widths then these would be the closest sizes 235/35R19 255/35R19 If you want to go slightly wider then 245/35R19 265/35R19 Your new wheel sizes and offsets should fit within the stock wheel arches with 5-10mm to spare.
