rovervi Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 if a set of wheels take 245/35/19 on front and 265/30/19 on the rear what size wheels are they, i know they are 19' but what width 8 and 9 or 8.5 and 9.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Could be anything. You can't tell the wheel width from the tyre size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 oh, i thought that the wheel width has to match the tyre size or else how would tyres fit the wheel, i can guarantee that my tyres off the supe would be too wide for the 17's that where on my old alloys?????

Steviekid Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah I would have thought 245's would be pushing it on 19x8's but 265's on 9.5's a bit narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steviekid Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Actually, 9.5" width wheels require 255's as a minimum and 275's as a maximum. Oh Well! I'm only basing that on having 265's on 18x9's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 so do you guys reckon more likely 8.5 and 9.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 so do you guys reckon more likely 8.5 and 9.5Maybe Can't you just measure them? Why are you trying to find this out anyway mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Actually, 9.5" width wheels require 255's as a minimum and 275's as a maximum.Where are you getting that info from? The "ideal rim-width calculator" here seems to indicate that 235 to 285 section tyres are fine on a 9.5" wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Maybe Can't you just measure them? Why are you trying to find this out anyway mate? Well i should be buying some second hand alloys but the chap i am buying them off doesnt know the widths only the tyres that go on them but if i ask he will prob measure them for me he seems like a sound guy, thanks for your help chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaSupra Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 If its any help my front wheels are 8.5 and have 245 tyres and the rear are 9.5 with 265 tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "ideal rim-width calculator" here seems to indicate that 235 to 285 section tyres are fine on a 9.5" wheel. I think his rim-width calculator is a bit optimistic, I'd discard the two extremes. Sure they'll probably fit, but I wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
