Fitting 19" alloys 8.5j

[mariamartinez]

Just a quick question but would 19 x 8.5j  P.C.D.: 5 x 112  ET45 wheels fit on Mk 7.5 GTD? I think usually width is 7.5j or 8j. thanks MM.

If your mk7.5 GTD has 18" factory fit Seville alloys and assuming these are the same spec as the mk7 GTD 18" Nogaros, your current wheel/tyres are 18 x 7.5J, PCD 5x112, ET49, Centre Bore 57.1. Tyres; 225 / 40 R18.

Spec of the alternative wheels you're considering; 19 x 8.5J, PCD 5x112, ET45, (Centre Bore?). Tyre size; assumed at 245 / 30 R19. If the centre bore of these wheels is larger than 57.1, you'll need spigot rings to ensure a tight fit on the hub and you don't get wheel wobble or vibrations. You may also need new wheel bolts, if the profile of the bolt holes in the wheels differ to your that in your existing wheels. If these are brand new wheels without tyres, depending on tyre choice, 19" tyres can be quite a bit more expensive than the tyres on your 18" wheels.

The difference in clearance between your existing and wheels and the 19" wheels is;

Between inner wheel face and suspension strut; 8.7 mm less
Front face; protrudes an additional 16.7 mm.

If you're still considering various different wheel options, you'll probably find an offset wheel calculator useful. The one at the link below currently holds the above wheel spec and tyre size details;

Yes they will.

I'm running 19 x 8.5 ET 46 with 235/35 R 19 tyres.

If you're lowered you might need to do the 'fender screw mod' but apart from that it'll all be good.

Yes they fit fine .. iv just fitted some but i chose 225/35/19 .. looks beeter than the 235 in my opinion

Ooh, they look good - also remember that some tyres (of the same size) look completely different to each other.

My Goodyear Eagle Assymetric 2s (and Assymetric 3 on one thanks to a pothole) look to have as much stretch as your 225s - although I'm assuming you've got 8.5" wide rims too lol.

Especially curb protection, not great photos but you can see the difference between P Zeros and Cup 2's on my CC
