Dave-350 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) 225 and 255 is what I would recommend for a very small stretch. Also, a 30 profile will look very skinny. I would go 40. These are my opinions. Edited February 18, 2014 by Dave-350 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 245/35 and 275/35 As above. 90% of people run that size on 19. You will have no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has a weak offset. Nobody even asked this. If he has a strong offset -5 or more then a 275 will be no good without flaring the arches. If you are standard ride height then a 275 is what the recommended tyre size should be. Edited February 18, 2014 by Dave-350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's lowered on tein springs. And got 20mm spaces on the front and 25 at the back. The new wheels are front et 32 rear et35 so I'll be losing the spacers I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new wheels are front et 32 rear et35 so I'll be losing the spacers I think Keep the spacers... The offsets are a little weak (Same as standard Rays nearly) so with the spacers you will have a nice offset. Then you might just get a 275 on the rear.

Agree, roll the rear arches and keep the spacers, it'll be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Has anyone got any pic with a the same size rims or similar? Could do with seeing them on a zed. Make my mind up on weather to go 35 or 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I would never go 40's on a 19" rim, the tyres will look too big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-350 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) I would never go 40's on a 19" rim, the tyres will look too big. No way... a 35 profile looks like a lick of paint and looking at the car side on it just looks daft imo (thats with it being stretched). 40 profile is perfect IMO. Ive ran both. If you are running 275 35 though it will look completely different to a 255 on the same rim. My 255 / 35 looked crap.

KyleR Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Tyre looks like a balloon in Stevo's picture. Dave, you're wrong, sorry Edited February 19, 2014 by KyleR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
