Evening boys i have acquired some wheels for my van which are and look the dogs bollocks but with 35 series tyres on they not only look stupid but well its just like rubber bands so what can you go to 40's 45's i reckon 50's would touch all the way around !
some of you boys must be running "19's by nowwhat say you?

looking on camskill tyres site
225/40 only seem to go to load rating 93
235/40 go up to 96 but might be a bit wide depending on offsets & rim width
prettymuch anything else is going to be more thasn 5% larger than standard rolling radius and upset speedo and gearing

Evening booted
the Oettinger rims are 8.5J and the tyres are 225/35 zr19 which I thinks would benefit from an upgrade to 40 or 45's and 235's because the rims are not protected by the tyres and they look a little silly.
I have put 10mm spacers on the back and have spaced the fronts out however the o/s front is rubbing on the upper wishbone by the ball joint so slightly more needed but she drove rather well have a look

thanks boys glad you approve I have waited 10 years for a set of these rims to turn up and although I loved my ronals these just seem to set the decals of a treat I will try some 40's from a friend and then decide on the tyre size after a refurb better get saving
