Well it sounds like they actually didn't fit perfectly then?Originally Posted by Pearce
I've been looking into 19's for a while now too - consensus seems to be that to avoid any issues you'd better off getting an 8" wide rim rather than 8.5" , get an offset between +45 and +50 and the centre bore has to be 57.1mm. Recommend tyre width to avoid rubbing problems especially if lowered would be 225 but you may have issues getting the correct load rating, easier with a 235.

Thanks... flaring them over a cm would have looked ridiculous. I'm sure a "homosexual poofter" would agree.
