Hi guys, i tried searching online, but havent managed to find this certain setup.

245/30r19 on 9.5 wheel


I bought these wheels, which are 8.5 front with 9.5 back on 19s, et15 with et20

And as for the fronts im covered, will go with 215/35r19, but on the back not sure if i should go with 225/35 or 245/30 (235/35 is out of the question as the wheel diameter is too big and reduces the drop and 235/30 does not exist over here in romania)

Thanks,

Razvan

I know about tyrestretch.com as well as their famous tyre stretch calculator,

But i couldnt find it, i searched 2 day non stop for it...

Im at a turning point so to say,

I ran on my older wheels 225/40r18 on 9j, and they were nice, had good stretch, but i didnt like the fact that from the rear the car looked as if it had bicycle tires. Ive also had 245/35 on these 9j 18", but since i had continental sport contact which dont stretch at all, i got some rubbing.

My older wheels were 9j et20, these new wheels are 9.5 et 20, and im really wondering if i should still go with the 225 setup, or if i should try the 245/30, with nankang ns2

Did you manage to find those pics, im really curios to see how 245/30s go on 9.5


Really doesnt matter if their 20s or what ever diameter rims, just as long as the width of the tyre (245) and the profile (30) are the same.

Many thanks

Sure, il take a look at the 235/35s

My rims finaly arrived today.. Here some real pics,

I must say their so far better in real life then in the photos, their very well executed, and not as heavy as i was expecting.

Bellow are some photos.
