Wheel Options

[Flint123]

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.

Normally fitting larger wheels regardless of tyre firms up the ride unfortunately.

Thanks for that - I never realised that was the case.

I had 19x81/2 et47  with 255x35 tyres on mine and honestly never noticed the difference ! Looked nice

Interesting.

Thanks for that.
