Question about 19s vs 20s

ShenzhenM3 · 04-05-2016, 05:07 AM

Hi,

Previous owner has put 20s on my car but the tyres are proving very difficult to quire here, and very expensive. My question is what measurements i would need if i want to swap the 20s for 19s.

Currently I am running
Front - 9j ET20 - 255/30 R20
Back - 10.5j ET25 - 295/25 R20

What would the measurements be if I wanted the same look and wheel circumference but go down to 19 rims?

thanks

Get the same specs but on a 19 inch wheel. I would recommend bigger side walls. Thats way too small. Curious as to what brand tire you have now.

Thanks for the reply. Now im have P Zero's on but it seems that local places cant source this or any other brand in 295/25. I agree the sidewall is very small and this seems to be the issue. 295/30 and 295/35 seem to be more readily available.

So If I go to 19" should i be using 295/30 or 295/35 to get the same circumference.

Another question, 295 is very wide, do they really need to be so wide? I would also like to have the rear wheels have that "deep dish" look, what ET should i be getting?

thanks,
