Anyone currently have 19" x 9" wheels on their car? QUICK HELP

If so, do they rub etc. ? Do they fit properly?

Got pics?

Need info urgently if these will fit or not.

245/35 r19 tyres.

If these were to go on my car they will be on TEIN adjustable coilover suspension, however it'll be raised abit higher because at the moment it's just rediculously low on 17" wheels.

Ask Munta ;)

[OSiRiS]

This is comparing my current wheels and tyres to my new wheels and tyres.

Oops did I say new? Yes yes I have bought them already lol just need to see if they'll fit now :P

:oops:

[bradc]

depending on the offset you may have problems hitting the rear suspension arm or the rear guard. If you've already bought them you may as well fit them and see what happens :)

The most concerning thing is, will it hit both?

Is there physically 9" of room in there?

I don't mind if it will hit the suspension, as I would put spacers in to push it out abit. If it hits the gaurd though then it's a definate "won't fit" category.

9" wide rims can fit if you have the correct offset.

245 wide tyres will rub on un-rolled guards unless your suspension is rock hard. You may want to check out the threads in for sale for the guard rolling service

Thanks Kenneth :D

Anyone done a widebody conversion on a Legnum before? :sick:

[bradc]

I'm running 17x9.5" wheels, and the inside edge of the rim is very close to the suspension arm, what is the offset of the 19" wheels? You can always use spacers without a problem to get it away from the suspension arm, but I doubt you'll get 245 tyres in there at any offset ;)

You could try evo 5/6 rear flares on the back, thats what I'm going to do when I space out my 17x9.5" wheels another 10mm and put 255/40 tyres on :)

[Kenneth]

Thanks Kenneth :D

What offset are your wheels? if 35mm, you MAY be lucky... more than that and I would predict inner fouling... which means you need spacers. Eithier way guard rolling is probably gonig to be a must

Dont forget we have pics of my car with 9" wide and 255s on. the rolling diameter may have been less though. anyway, my point is that all I would have required was guard rolling. no reason why 245s shouldnt fit with correct offset (unless tyres are just too big diameter wise)

[OSiRiS]

Thanks guys :)

When I pickup the wheels over the weekend I'll find out exactly for sure :)

[Gly]

ive got 18" x 8.5"s with 35mm offset.

they have 225/40 tyres on them.
i would be lucky if i could get 235s on with the way the suspension is designed.

also found at full lock left/right the front wheels rub very slightly on the inside of the wheel arch.

Hmmm yea thought so. Only one way to find out. lol :|

[d i c k i e s]

what rims u got?

[OSiRiS]

what rims u got?

Pics will be online *if* I get them on the car :P

[Eagleton]

Did they fit?

[bradc]

I can't remember the exact story, but the guy took off with the rims or something like that, either way Osiris didn't get his wheels.

[SHOWVR]

theres a guy @ hyper who's got 19's on his vr4 galant. cant remeber the specs but im sure if you call they can help you out

[bradc]

the guy that parks on the road everyday? They look to be quite wide, but the tyres are fairly stretched, probably only 225's

[bradc]

Just gave them a call, they are 19x8.5" with 215/35/19 tyres, he doesn't know what the offset is.

[Si.]

I run 19's with 225's on no problems at all, but i would imagine they are only 8.5" wide.

[Gly]

if there the ones in you sig,
going by the lack of strech id say there only 8" wide.


ive got a set of 18 x 8" with 225s (GSD3's) and looks likes there's no strech like in your sig,

also ive got a set of 18 x 8.5"s with 225s (DZ101's) and they look very streched.

[bradc]

Si, I'm fairly sure your wheels would be 7.5 or 8" wide :)

[Si.]

Yup, my mistake, obviously i got carried away.... the whole write what you've been reading not what your actually thinking or trying to say thing.

[djb160]

just as a note for others out there, I got 17"x8" on mine with 38 offset and had 235s. The gap between the tyre and the rear bars is smaller than a bees dick. that if they're not rubbing slightly. I didn't get a chance to see if there was rubbing or not.

[bradc]

Yeah, they are very close with that tyre+wheel setup.

Have a look at my setup with 235/45/17's on 17x9.5" +35mm offset wheels, your setup would have the top of the tyre 3mm closer to the suspension

[MunkyWrench]

im still looking for options to replace my wrecked set (stupid drunks) of 18x8" ET35 aztecX.

I currently have 235/40r18 and want to keep them.

I can get a set of JIC mags that are 18x8.5" , but are 30 offset.
They fit fine and i drove down the road ok, but they will probably hit the guards (rear guards already rolled). They had 225/40r18 on them (stretched looking).

Has anyone heard of machining some material off the mounting face?
a few mm is all i need, probably not the whole 5mm.

[bradc]

not sure on that, but I would think that if it was possible then you would hear about it more often.

That extra 5mm of offset will hurt though, you'll have big problems trying to drive with wheels that wide, and at that offset.

[Gly]

it is possible,
just usually not done,

depends how much extra meat there is on the wheel hub,

if you take off to much or its not thick enough to be machined in the first place your wheels will end up cracking and possibly falling off the car.

and if its not done perfectly the wheel will become un-centered and vibrate,

so definately not recommended

Yeah, the amount of material is key. Some manufacturers produce finished wheel blanks with no stud pattern and an extra thick hub, so that you can drill your own PCD, and machine the perfect offset. When it comes to altering a finished item, it could be risky, but im guessing they would like to keep a fairly healthy margin of safety on them though:thinking: So probably could do it, but it might be an expensive ****up if it fails on a bend..

Hehe I realise that lol. I'm a 3rd yr eng student. I meant more along the lines of do wheel repair/mod shops do it at all? We'll see tomorrow I guess.

Taking 5mm off will actually bring them a bit close to the suspension. It's gonna be very tight.

This sucks - they're a bargain, and in mint condition, and suit the car perfectly. I'm gonna punch the next drink driver i meet. no sh*t.

[MunkyWrench]

woohoo found a set of matching mags - off a rwd skyline so two are offset 42 and 9inch wide the others are 8 inch and 35. I'm happy!

[bradc]

You will want to run 225/45 and 255/40 on those, or 235/45 and 265/40 otherwise your transfer case will suffer. You're going to have problems getting tyres that size under the rear arches though.
