Tyres are 235/35/19

Avon.
Just watch the 235's on a +45 offset rim.
I had to roll the guards on our wagon as the 225's on our +45 rims rubbed.

Cheers,
Rusty.

Thanks for the info Rusty. Is yours lowered at all? Cos mine's on stock suspension, so going off the guide that Ric posted http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=98, they should fit without any issues:

8.5" (+45mm to +48mm offset, +45) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255
235mm = 8", 8.5", and 9"
235/35/19 (tallest tire you can mount without fender clearing issues on a 2" lowered car if you get the right offset)

Yeh mines lowered so I guess i'll be rolling the guards!

Avon.

Yes mate ours is lowered (H&R springs).

As for the 255 on the 8.5" +45 rim, I definitely wouldn't like to try that on a standard or lowered car.

I honestly think a 225/35/19" tyre would be your best bet and roll the guards just to be on the safe side.

Just my opinion though.

Rusty.

Oh ok. Will a 225 fit the 8.5 width? I was just going off the guide. Oh, and definitely NOT going 255, lol. Waaaaay too much. I'd like to get away with 225 if possible, as it seems to be more easily available and hopefully cheaper.

Maybe I'll just ask the tyre dudes about running 225/35/19 on the 19 x 8.5" Thanks heaps for the info Rusty!

I called the place just then to see if my wheels had shipped. He stuffed up and told me that the he thought the wheels he had were 100x5/114x5, but actually he had the 114x5/120/5. So he said the ones I want will be 2-3 weeks away... guess ill have to wait, ;[

$2300 with Toyo Proxes is an excellent price Avon.

Oh i know... considering they usually go for $340: getting them for $250 each is a bargain. Just need to save up the coin now. 100k service is due next week and that's MUCH more important

225/35R19 will be hard to find with the right load rating... 235/35R19 is easier to find with the right load rating!

I called just then, the guy said they should have arrived by now but they haven't... He said he will call me once he finds out more info...

Can someone please confirm if they clear brembos.
I'm interested in the 19 x 8.5 with 235 35's.
I would love to go down to Tech9tyres but can't seem to get away from the office at the moment.

Just how much firmer is the ride on 19's as opposed to 18's?

hey guys dont forget to include http://www.tempetyres.com.au
they will be very close to the price of taleb tyres (as they are 5mins apart)
and if you are searching for tyres I maybe able to swing something in that department for sydney guys as I have a good friend who part owns a Bob Jane franchise
I was getting priced by myself 2 tyres 18" 235 35's pirrelli top of the line types for $200 a tyre
i think i settled for michellin at the time @ 150 a tyre
this was on my last car...

[Laps]

Yeh, forget TEMPE. Ive already discussed with them. He said they would be getting in 3 weeks, I called 5 weeks later, he says "man weve had problems with shipping so they are gonna be a while, your gonna have to pick a different wheel". So I pretty much said beat it and went to Taleb...
