19*7.5 Wheels, How wide can I go?
 

Did some searching and can't find anything on this subject, I picked up a FD that had 19 inch RH C5s on it, the car is also lowered 1" front and rear, I'm currently running 225/35 front and rear and just put new Dunlops on the front, which is cut to fit the 19s. Was wondering if anyone could tell me how wide of a tire I could fit on the rear with and without rolling the fenders. Thanks in advance.

You can't run wider tires than that on a 19x7.5 rim. You have worse handling and straightline performance than stock. Sell the skinny ass wheels and put some decent shoes on the poor car.

In time, $ has to go elsewhere right now.

jesus, 19x7.5, what a fucking pizza cutter.

LOL what a shame. What was the point? The stockers are wider than that at 16x8!!

Good thing you saved that FD from a blinger.

Is there a way I can figure out the back spacing on these wheels, so I know what other vehicles they will fit on, I found what I want, work emotion, not sure what size to get yet and need to figure out how much I can get for these.

Measure backspacing, from there you can figure out the offset.

Better yet, look on the sticker on the inside lip or spoke of the wheel. It should give you the offset and size of the wheel. :)

Easy enough, thanks for the info, I've pretty much decided on the Work Emotion CR wheel in Gunmetal. Now I have to decide the size...17 by 8 or 18 by 8.5 front, 9.5 rear. I think 17 right now because of the fact the car is already cut for 19, so I could run a thicker tire then most in on the front and possibly run the same size front and rear for rotation purposes. So my thought is less money spent on tires, more money to spend under the hood. The 18 would look really good thou... :confused:

18x8.5 with 245's should work all around depending on offset of rim.

True. Still don't know, waiting to hear back what offsets are available.
