Mark, can you refresh my memory please on if anything special is involved running those on your Bimotos, other that the dreaded knobblies? Spacers needed etc?

no nothing special needed running 275/30/19 on the MTM Bimoto wheels 9,5 x 19. although i cant speak for other tyre brands...the kuhmos fit well...there must be a list of tyresizes on here which tyres fit well without worrying about the knobbly thing...

still on drc:

There is this one that I found a while back - http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=89329

Thanks for confirming that I don't need spacers and can quite likely get away with 275 tyres without spacers :)

^^Hehe.

The 9.5 * 19 bimotos will extend a further 1mm towards the inside of the car and 11mm out further than the 9" OEM wheels. Probably shouldn't make any difference for knobbly, but I would have preferred the 1mm to be the other way.
