Wheelsize

Post by smiler75 » Fri May 04, 2018 10:15 pm

Would 11x19 work?
Many offset options... :jump_clap:
What tyresize would you choose, model/brand?

Thanks!

I think 11 x 19 is too big. There is not enough room between the upright and the tire shoulder at the back. You could space it out but then you might rub the guard and would not be legal. If you put a stretched tyre on 11" like 265 or 275 it might work but this tyre is really too small for 11" so why not get 10". It is big enough.

I have 19 x 10 ET21 on the back with Cont SP6 275/30 and there was little or no clearance on the upright requiring some modification.

I think 19 x 9 with 265s would not be a problem.

On the front I have 19 x 9 ET14 with 265/30 and there is slight rubbing on heavy cornering but my car is a little lowered. I think maybe ET10 and it would not rub but I need to check what it is rubbing on.

I have raised it ~5-10mm since these photos but there is still slight rubbing on the front but much improved.

on my side , thinking of moving to 9.5 x 19 , ET 25 , with 255/35/19
265/35/19 not allowed here in France for B5

OZ removed the 11*19 from its program in 5x112 , sounds like ti was too much or impossible

I've run 19x10 et 15 front and back with 265/30 tyres, very low on coilovers, with absolutely no rubbing at all. The rear is far more forgiving for clearance on the B5 than the front.

Hi Adam, can you please post a photo so we can have a visual? thanks Don

Mine should be the same as yours but I am getting a little rubbing on fast sharp corners.
