qaisar Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 im curious as to how wide is it safe to go on 19inch rear wheels with stock bodywork and what tyre width would best suit it? i know 10 inches is possible but wanted to see if 11 would be ok without the prioblems of the tyres rubbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 285x30 should be ok given the correct offset, but certainly no bigger than that without problems on 19's. I wouldn't go bigger than 275's personally. Certainly no need for an 11" wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 If you pick the offset very carefully, 295s and 11" wheels will fit. Go to SF and ask a guy called Steve Jarvis (I think thats his name) for the right offsets to be able to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 As Syed says Qaisar, Steve on SF has a excel spreadsheet calculator to see if things will fit, you can download it off SF or I can email you it if you cant find it. Apparently my new 20s should fit Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 my 22`s should look mint, taking up to 2 months to come. hope i dont have to roll arches. 22x10 up front 22x12 on rear want to go for the propper fat look, hope handling aint too bad. they are nice silver chrome deep ass dish with gold chrome 5 spokes. they are only going to be my show wheels. and 17`s or 16`s for track. and 19`s for everyday use. dont think i will get them intime for JAE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah on 18's maybe but I wouldn't have though 19's would as you'd need a 25 aspect tire or something. http://www.blackstar.karoo.net/fitment.xls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Be careful as the style of wheel affects the brake clearance as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaisar Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 thanks for the info guys i got the spreadsheet off SF this is what i got as being ok from it front 19x9 offset 50 tyre width 255-265 with aspect ratio 30 rear 19x11 offset 50 tyre width 285 with aspect ratio of 30 this is with no work being done to the body (ie rolling/cutting fenders etc) but im thinking the ride might be a bit too harsh could do with some more input by the way reason im after wider tyres is because i figure it will help with traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
