19" Wheels

[Computamedic]

I've got 19" Rial Nogaros on mine with the Eibach Pro springs.  Handling is fine although I haven't driven it in any other state.  No tyre rub (225/35x19 Continentals fitted).

I've fitted 19" BBS CH's and Eibach coilovers, you can get a small amount of rubbing at the front, the wheel arch liner retaining screw just kisses the tyre sometimes, this is easily rectified by removing the screw and tucking the liner behind the mounting flange. Although the picture below is before the suspension was fitted.

Gaz, what offset are your wheels. I've been quoted for some with a 45 offset but shouldn't it be 51???

yes it should be 51

I thought so cheers for that. The whole offset thing confuses the hell out of me, I know that the smaller the number the farther out the wheel hub sits from the centre of the wheel but I'm completely in the dark as to how you can have different offsets and the affect it has

well i have some 18" monza reps on mine with offsets of 45 (instead of 51) and i dont see any problems with it at all. The only difference is that the wheels stick out 6mm more which is un-noticable really.

Anyway, i think having wheels stick out a little makes it look sporty.

....Agreed but there is a risk of compromising handling/suspension/safety if it's not done by a specialist who knows what is safe.
