I've been offered a really good deal on a set of 19's, they are 9.5 by 19 running on 255/35/19's, i do not have the ofset yet.
I'm running with 18" monzas with 225/40/18 tyres
Could I run with these on.
-
would need to check the offset but 19s will be ok :smiley:
-
Its the size of the tyres too, with that extra 30mm the last thing I want is tyre scrub, I know the old vw saying but not really wanting that now
-
The 19's in that size would increase the overall diameter of the wheel by nearly 4% so the gearing will change,
It also means your speedometer will be reading slower than actual.
The normal 19s are 225/35/19.

i wouldn't be going for a 9.5" rim personally.
if it doesn't rub the inside or outside it will ruin the handling regardless

Not a hope, I'd say.
8.5" wide 19" are close on 225 wide tyres, and have been known to sometimes rub with 235 wide tyres on...so I just don't see where you are going to put an extra inch of width and 20-30mm more tyre width.
-
It will depend on the offset of the wheel, but i would of thought the only way you will get 9.5" wheels on is by fitting 215 stretch tyres on,
and it will ruin the handling :sad: "DONT" do it unless you just potter about posing :grin:
