18" or 19"?

Postby climic » Wed Dec 28, 2011 11:39 pm

I'm looking at getting Advanti Almera's not sure would be better 18" or 19"??

Offset +45 if I opted for 19's would I need any modifications? i.e rolling guards?

If it's a 19" x 8.5" with a +45 offset, with a 225 tyre you will only need the gaurds rolled.

Ahh ok what if its a 235 tyre? Or should I go 225?

And how do I go about rolling my guards if so? Will I need to roll rear + front?

Thanks!

I think it comes down to how wide the rim is.
If it's an 8.5" rim then a 235 tyre will be pushing it so to speak, but a 225 will fit fine with the both front and rear guards rolled.
There's plenty of guys around that roll guards and they will more than likely do it at your house, so check your local listings for guard rolling and give them a call.
The guys your buying the wheels off may even have someone that does guard rolling for them.
Hope this helps.

Rusty.

Yeah nahh I've looked at them! They have two pcd patterns and I think the advanti would look cleaner with just the one pcd fitment! And the tenzo come in 19x8.5 so yeah weary of that one!

Thanks anyways!
