19 inch rims

[Matt_gt]

Hey guys looking at traveling to Sydney this weekend for a set of wheels. I've spoke to Tempe tyres and they told me that 19x8.5 with a offset of 45 will fit fine. Has anyone here got this size or had and can tell me how they fit. Not really a fan of wheels that sit proud of the guards.
Thanks matt

Becareful of them they will sell you anything. Also check the manufacturer dates on the tyres

Thanks Shane I'll definatly check that. That's why I thought I'd ask people on here for some advice.

Haha, now that is quoted for truth

see the top sticky thread (Gen 4 wheels thread). The first 2 examples are 19x8.5 but a +50 offset rather than +45. They're both running 225/35R19 tyres from memory to clear guards and what not. With a +45 offset you are most likely going to have to think about rolling the guards

Given that you're going to Tempe, I am guessing you're after the VIP look type of wheels instead of performance ones like Advan, Enkeis, etc.

I suggest go to these guys instead www.eagletyres.com.au thats where I got my wheels for my Jeep and they provide good quality service. I have Dunlop Sports SP Maxx on mine and they're for 22inch wheels!

I have 19x8.5 + 45 offset running 225/35/19.

My car is lowered so I did have to get all guards rolled, and my coilovers put up a lil bit...
