Hey
I'm sorry for being so dumb and asking this but I'm still on the hunt from some different 19" wheels for my car. My plan - I want to fit winter tyres to the current stock wheels. I then would like a new set of alloy wheels that would take a wider tyre up front and rear (not by much but just something to help with the extra BHP from the Vortech kit I'm fitting in Spring). By the time I figure this out without asking for help it'll be too late. So here goes...
I've been looking at aftermarket wheels thinking, this will be dead easy, I need 19x9 upfront and 19x9.5 on the rear. Then I can go purchase my winter tyres which I've bookmarked. I know the ET (45 / 52.5 respectively), Bore (70.5 mm) and PCD (5x114.3). Smashing lets go. Thing is, every search I do I can't find those wheel sizes. It's either something like 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. What, wait, where is the 19.9 please? Or then rear, 19x10. Which just gets me so confused thinking, well is 19x10 OK? Will it fit? If it is wider, do I need a different offset? What tyre do I even put on 19x10 (can it take a normal 275 tyre)?
Please help! Before I go mad.
It seems like everyone here understands this and I see so many people with aftermarket wheels but I can't get my head around it.
Thanks.
