Athough driving in the wet today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.. Gave it a stab off the lights ( well not much really ) and it didn't even spin.. But around corners I don't even want to try lol...Bought some Bridgestone Turanza tyres off ebay, cheap, brand new condition and in 225 width to put on the back, as the tyres that came with the wheels were almost at the indicators, for now just for a bit more grip.. Then I have to look for some decent tyres that will fit a 16x8" rim and preferably a 50 series. I want to get Maxxis MA-Z1 Victras, I have them on the 19's and love then. On there website they make them 245/45/16 although in a lower series than I would like 45 instead of 50 but I don't think that will matter much? Once I have the tyres, send the wheels off to get widened, that takes a few days, so ill be rolling around on the 19's again for a while.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in me having less traction though as it's already an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping the tyres though and selling the rims cheap. The new rims I'm looking at are Front Wheels: 19x8.5 ET +32Rear Wheels: 19x9.5 ET +35I don't know sh*t about offsets etc.. so will these be flush/fit nicely? Will my 245/35/19 tyres fit on the 9.5" wide rim? Ill get wider ones when the time comes, but they have some nice meat left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
