tyres be 235/60/18's, know present tig tyres are 215's, so not sure with the offset difference if that will work? ie whether getting close to rubbing on the inside or the other way pushing outside the wheel arches

I can research more, but thought there would be a few here who would just know

Will fit fine Jimbo.
I am getting my 19x8 ET35's fitted tomorrow.
They will sit towards the outside a bit more than the stock wheels though.

Tyres are 245/45 too.

Hmmmmmmm........ something doesn't seem right mate........ not sure whether it's not enough spoke with too much tire....... outer rim seems rather beefy too... sorry bro but I'm thinking the old 19's looked better but would have been wicked in an ET30 - 35 offset.

Team V nice looking wheels, but I have to agree with Creniac, something doesn't look quite right to me. It could just be the angle of the shot, but I think what it is, is you had a definite theme before with the 'all black'. The wheels themselves are nice, but dont quite match the rest of the colour scheme. I think chrome window surrounds and rails would balance it out nicely, but you may not want to go there. Anyway mate its only my opinion, she's your ride and hope you are loving the new look.

It does look like not enough spoke because of the split spoke design rather than the full spoke design of the previous ones.
But it does weigh less without the full spoke there.

Unfortunately the other ones only came in an ET45.

The new wheels don't really match with the old colour scheme (may or may not fix that later).
I don't think the pictures do it justice as they really do look quite good in person but i can see you points from the pictures, it's weird.

The difference in feel is worth the lack of nice design in pictures for me.
