9.5 wide with an et35

@.50 @Tourershine what load ratings are your tyres....I'm looking at 19s but can' find any 265 40 19s with a 103 or above load rating?

Errr, you won't find any, hence a big mistake I made, so stop searching because i've done hours of it, and they are not available.

@Tourershine cheers for the advice....I'll have to stick with 20s then

 

[Tourershine]

Good call. I'm here all day, just let me spend all my money on the mistakes and I will let everyone else learn from these.
I should have a T6 Forum Crowdfunding page to fund my next set of wheels...

Is your van a T32 T6180 ?.

Oh man! I do know 20's look nice but cannot get over
- oversized tyres
- potential rubbing with them having good sized rubber
- running this size on our bad roads here

Also having T30 makes tyre choice also better and 19's just seem a good compromise. So I think 8.5 front and 9.5 rear both ET35 for me

 

[Tourershine]

I figured exactly the same, but I think my next wheels will have to be 20's, but 8.5" all round limiting the width of the tyre theoretically, which should in turn not look so oversized.
It's not the overall size of the wheel and tyre I dislike if I can have a low enough profile, it's always when they are too wide, and end up looking strange imo

 

[T6180]

@.50 yeah it' a t32...

 

[T6180]

@Tourershine I had 265/40/20s on my 8.5 on the front, they didn' look to bad ...a little sidewall bulge but profile wise not bad at all.....only reason I replaced them was the ET of my front alloys is only 25....if I had 9x20 with an ET40 for example they'd be spot on

275/40r19 will fit nice on a 9" wide rim and theres loads of choice above 103 load index.
