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

    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.

    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

    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

    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)

    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.

    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.

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

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