advice BBS Lm 9.5j
« on: 30 December 2011, 22:26 »
Hi guys, i tried two tyre companies earlier to fit my tyres to my ewly refurbished rear wheels which are 5x100 et35 9.5. I've got a pair of 225/35/19 to go on the rear two rims.

As i went to the tyre place earlier one guy said they wont fit (Without even trying them) I told him that they require abit of a stretch.

as any oe ad problems on fitting 225/35/19 on 9.5 19 rims.

I have heard of people running 215/35/19.

any thoughts on this,, gonna try a different place tomorrow..

regards

Not every tyre fitter can/will fit stretched tyres, you'll have to phone around your local fitters and find someone who will
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

managed to get the rear tyre's fitted.

whats your opinion on colour choice, taking abit of a gamble because I aint seen this wheels in this colour on a black 3dr mk4 yet.
