Flint123 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 This is a possible entry for this week's dumbest question: But here goes. On my S4 I have 'Imola' 8.5J 18" wheels, shod with 245/40/18 tyres. I'm not keen on the look of those wheels so whilst changing them I quite fancy going to a 19" rim. Normally one would buy a different profile tyre to compensate for the extra inch (probably going to a 35); however I don't want to do that as it hardens up the ride. So the question is are 19" wheels shod with 245/40/19's going to look OK and also fit in the arch OK ? Thanks in advance. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Normally fitting larger wheels regardless of tyre firms up the ride unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizabit Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I had 19x81/2 et47 with 255x35 tyres on mine and honestly never noticed the difference ! Looked nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
