Show Us Ya 19s

[Jayjmac]

Ahh, the good old days of comfort where speed humps were an actual target and I scoffed at pot holes.

Haha I feel your pain... quick one while your here! Unsure on a square set up or staggered or 19s or 20s? What’s your view??

Always staggered for me. I love the rear wheels sitting wider than the fronts, it reminds me of old school cool.
I liked my 20s, but 19s seem to be my sweet spot. Although I'm looking forward to getting my banded 17s back on once I get a pair of 9.5s to swap out the 10s at the rear.

I went staggered and 20s for the moment. With a slightly different 35 8.5 front and 40 on a 10 rear.

OK, so not exactly on my van, but the Scirocco. 8x19 et21 Porsche Macan wheels. I had to find two sets because they come staggered and the 9" et21 rears were too wide. I've now got a set of 4 rears to sell. Being 5x112, perhaps a T4 owner would like them. They don't seem to be too fussed about load ratings.

I'm looking for some 255/45/19" satin/Matt black wheels/tyres with a load rating of 103 as I have a t32 - theory being that the variation of the size won't be too big from my standard 17" and I've been advised by a company I wanted to put a replacement suspension set up for me, that the 275 will rub on the lock hence looking for the 255

I love the look of the calibre Altus and the wolfrace Munich's but they don't do 19"s

Anyone know of any sites / manufacturers who do something similar, or got something similar?

Thanks in advance

I'm running 19's and I have found that sweet spot after great expense.

The secret recipe:

30m Drop
19x8.5 ET45 all round.
Running 104 rated 255/45/19

Giving this as a look if it suits you.

The van never bottoms out, and it never rubs or catches.
I have gone across a field with no issues.
It's planted at speeds, yet very comfortable.
Laymen's terms it's 2 fingers between the tyre and arch at the front, and 3 at the back, giving tolerance for any extra weight in the rear if needed.
(oh and I don't have huge sausage fingers)

Interesting I am looking at these 8.5x19 Wolfrace Eurosport Dortmund Gloss Black Alloy Wheels, Alloy Wheels and Tyres Packages Supplier, Alloys, Wheels, Car Alloys. Wolfrace Alloy Wheels. Wolfrace Eurosport. Wolfrace Explorer. Alutec. ATS. Carre. with 255 R45 which I think are pretty close to your set up. Would you agree ?

I have TSW MAX alloys 19" matt black , tyres Nexen 255/45ZR19 104Y . The only thing with 19's is not much tyre choice . TSW also do different style alloys in 19 " and matt black . I got mine from rimstyle.com hope this helps .

Thanks

I have Amarok 19" rims with 275/40 R19 tyres plus spacers and works perfectly on my Caravelle.
But yes it is tight, only few mm clearance.

Hi could you send me a pic as I’m looking at Amarok wheels and not sure on which tyre size
Thanks

 

[Robert]

This is mine on black Amarok rims and 275/40R19 tyres.

Nice which size spacers and drop do you have. Thanks

 

[Robert]

I have no spacers on front wheels,
just on the rear.
I will double check on measurements and come back to you.

Hi everyone! I'm a newbee, and I'm thick in the debate of what wheel / tyre combo to go for.. I've convinced myself that 19s are the way forward! My van has the following factory set-up:

215/60 R17 7J ET55 (5 x 120)

but want to look at the the Rotiform CVT-M probably with the following set-up

235/55 R19 8.5J ET35 (5 x 120)

The van will be 40mm lowered and just wanted to check that the switch over wouldnt cause me any problems - in terms of rub etc ...

I've ran the comparator wheel / tyre online previews but am completely in the dark to what it actually means..

Any help much appreciated, Nick

I really like them in 19s

 

[Strettyp]

Love them - where did you buy them from and did they do the wheels and tyres?

 

[BJC_9]

Hi I got the wheels with the tyres from Vanstyle it was a few weeks before they were delivered but it was worth the wait.
