Fitting a set of 19" alloys

benjibarnicals · Apr 22, 2015

Hey all,

Probably a "way too simple question" but wanted to check. I'm currently running a set of 225/18/40 5x112 ET45 (i think) alloys, the car's dropped about 70mm. But im seriously thinking about getting a set of 19's instead. Hopefully the same type width/profile.

Any issues people have come accross? Is there a better offset I could go with other then the stock (ET45?)? I'm thinking the car will need to be raised a bit because of rubbing?

Ta all!

I think my stock 17's with tyres are taller than my 19s with tyres.... lower it

I have issues over speed humps, car park alligator teeth and roadkill in the middle of the road already lol My main thought is whether there's a better offset to help with the large wheel or when steering on full lock.

Generally ET45 on a 8J rim running 225s is regarded as the best setup.. Better wheel poke and very minimal rubbing if any

Cheers Jacko, that put my mind at ease. Now to find some I like...

gotcha! I have 19x8.5 ET45 with no issues and I'm lowered so you'll be fine
