Load rating with 19" wheels

[Dutch77]

Thanks for that - so I guess I'm going to have to fit 235's. Seems that 235's on a 19x8 with 50ET will be fine with no rubbing as long as you're not lowered , but I am and intend to go lower again. Arghhh! Maybe I should just stick to 18's

Ha, yes logically the 19 x 8 ET50 shouldn't cause a rub on 235s on stock height, unless perhaps under extreme load but that wouldn't occur often. Going low will start to cause issues.. trouble is for every forum answer that says ok, you will find one that says no.

I am in the same boat as you - looking at a few 19 options, but just as happy to stick with 18s and my current 225 rubber (which has plenty of life left). Debating the BBS CHs in black or OZ Superturismos (although liking these in the graphite finish) since your wheel thread a couple of weeks ago. Damn you.
