Guys, will 8.5x19 and 11x19 fit on a zed with a fat arse kit without any problems?

 

and what size tyres will be required?

 

Many thanks

Martin

I would guess you would be after 245/30/19's at the front and something like 325/30/19's at the rear although the rears should be a 25 profile to maintain the correct size I think.

 

Find out the price you will pay for those rears - probably about £300 each for budget jobbies or something silly!

 

The wheel offset needs to be as big as you can get to keep the spacer as small as possible.

My 285/18's have a spacer about an inch and a half thick so the extra half inch of wheel each side won't be a problem.

 

Give Johnny a call at GPS. He has 19's on his wide arch Z.

Thanks Chris

 

Yep see your point on the cost, good tyres will be £500 odd, fcuk that :eek:

 

In 18s they do 8 x 18 and 9.5 x 18 no doubt these will be ok, shame there is no 10 x 18 but the difference is small. So what tyres will these require and can you also advice on the spacers and cost.

 

Cheers mate

My 8.5 x 18 fronts have 235/35/18's and the rear 10 x 18's have 285/30/18's.

 

The spacers are not cheap at about £260 but the quality is superb.

Macca organised mine and they are a lot cheaper than other places are doing them. They bolt onto the hub and have another set of bolts pressed through them from the other side so it is like extending the hub out. If you used normal style spacers you would need huge long bolts and they would snap off.

I know a few people here have paid over £500 for their spacers!

 

You need to get the biggest offset wheel you can get to keep the size of the spacer to a minimum then mount the wheel on the car with the wide arches fitted.

Measure from the wheel to the edge of the arch to find the spacer width to have made.

 

I was lucky that I ordered the same wheels as Iain so just had the spacers made the same as his but it depends on what offset is available in your style of wheel.

Check out the Zcentre. Luke has 18"s as wide as 14" (KERSCHER CS)!!

Cripes, thats wide..

 

Shame my favourites on there are split rims.. and £500 per wheel.. sob.. sob..
