Will 235/35/19s work on our cars? Wheels are 19x8.5. Checking to see if there will be rubbing issues prior to purchase. Thanks in advance.

I have 245/35/19 on my fronts with no problems at all. now the rears are a whole other story....lol

YES ... 19"- 8.5 will fit perfictly... I have a set of Luff M1's on my LS2 running 245/35/19 falken azenis tires...I like um ... very soft and easy to smoke out..

In the rear I have heard that 19"-10.5 will fit if you strech the rear tires .. may have to roll the fenders aswell... but if you want major stagger thats the price you pay for beauty .. LOL...

:willy: arty:

The wheels are 19x8.5 all around. He is telling me the offset is 45. It's the tires that I am debating on. 235/35/19 sure has a very short sidewall. I really don't want to get into having the fenders rolled.

 

[Guest]

rolling the fenders is not a bad thing, ya know.

i run 245x40x18/w perelli p zero nero's on 8.5 beryen chrome 5...they fit well on the drivers side but just barley touched on passenger side rear{only under hard acceleration} a little trimming was all that was needed.. :cheers

On the MTI website, they say you can fit a 18x9.5 on there!

 

[flht3]

i think if you mess with the offset you could go bigger???

 

[Guest]

thats the case with every rim, your not supposed to have the same offset when you go with a custom set of rims.

 

[flht3]

well, i personaly wanted the same size tire all the way around,and the beyern's are bmw wheels so there not custom ...they were plenty expensive as it is !!! if you go to foose or someone one that does custom wheels...i cant imagine how much that would cost ????

 

[Guest]

its not the rim your having custom designed, its the same rim just made with a different offset. they are sitting on the shelf you just need an expert of sorts to find the right combo for you. Call up MTI and see what offset they are using.

They say these rims fit the GTO:

Custom Boyd Coddington 18 X 8 Front and 18 X 9 Rear Rallye Wheels w/ 245-45-18 Front and 295-45-18 Rear Michelin Pilot Sport Tires.

a 295 is a WIIIIIIIIIIDE tire for this vehicle.

i agree...i just though about it in a practicial way...if you can rotate you tires and wheels all at once its just easier....especialy with the gto, as it allows you to hase the tires with the traction control on..just my .02 :cheers

 

[Guest]

dont the tire and rim rotate together anyway?

lol

sorry man, I just had to say that!!

 

[flht3]

not if the rear is a different offset than the front...

 

[Guest]

naw man, I meant rotate when you drive! hence the joke.

 

[flht3]

ah ha...i see..it must be the POSI that does that..lol...... :willy:

 

[Guest]

it must....
