Tyre Size Recommendations

[Count Grantleyish]

Hi ladies and gents,

Today, I purchased a set of Volk TE37 Fortessr for my 33R.

So, I'm in need of tyres, the rims size are 19x9.5"

I'm wondering if it is possible to have 245/40/19 to be fitted with a bit of stetch?

Also, what width is the maximum for 9.5" rims?

Any recommendations are welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Grant

wtf do you want stretch for ? half the piont in fat wheels in more rubber on the road . please buy a laurel if you want to run too small tires for your car so the rangi rb30 they put in laurels can actually spin up.

just talk to who ever your buying the tires off

Just asking if it is possible to have this size cos it's quite common on VE commodores.

I guess I'll have to go tyre shopping tomorrow unless someone has other recommendations.

Cheers

i don't think 245 is too extreme on a 9.5" rim. i have 235 on a 9" rim, the sidewall is nice and tight but without going overboard.

if you can get those tyres cheap because they are a common size ( i do the same ) then i say go for it

yeh dude put 235s on thats all you need , fitment is perfect for 9 , 0r 9.5s .

Hektik - Sounds like 245/40 is a goer but will have to talk to tyre shop and see if it's doable.

Blingtr - 235 is bit narrow and hard to source compared to 245/40 (VE SSV Fitment I believe, hence better availablity for decent brands).

Thanks to you both for answers.

Cheers

Hi again,

After spending too much time on tyre calcuator, I've decided that 245/35/19 is a good size for me to purchase (It helps when it's standard fitment on VT-VZ HSV's making them pretty common), I've found couple of tyres I'd like to purchase.

I'm in need of a tyre shop in Melbourne that is willing to fit this size tyre into my 9.5" rims, cos everyone in Frankston is a complete twat. So not too far from me would be ideal.

Cheers
