Wolfrace X10X

[T6Paul]

Firstly, is anyone currently running these?

I like them in Racing Black but the largest size seems to be 19 inch,

What size tyre would I need?

255/40/19 seems the closest match?

 

[T6Paul]

To get a 104 load rating I'd need 255/45/19 which is slightly larger rolling diameter?

Any thoughts appreciated.

 

[RattyMcClelland]

275/40/19 do 105 load rating. What's the wheel width?

 

[T6Paul]

Width is 9J so 275 may be too wide?

 

[RattyMcClelland]

That fine. I run 275/35/20 on my 20x9s. 275 would be the limit though.

I'm about to run 19s again. 245/45/19 on the front 8.5s and 275/40/19 on the rear 10s. Both are identical in overall diameter.

Why the change to 19's? is it a more comfortable ride? What loading will those tyres be? Mine is T32 so I believe I need 103 minimum?

 

[RattyMcClelland]

I think my 20s are the main cause for my horrific fuel economy. They are very heavy at nearly 29kg per wheel including tyres plus been 20" the rotational inertia is very high.

Going to 19s to see if things improve. I had 19s on my t5 and the fuel economy never charged much compared to 16s.

yep that's right, 103 = 875kg.

Wheels ordered albeit on a 10 day wait as there are no black ones in the UK.

This will give me some time to sort the tyres... 255/45/19 104XL seem to be the ideal size? I can get a set of Continental Sport 5 fitted for £590+Vat, has anyone ran these to give an idea of wear rate? or any other tyre recommendations?

Thanks

 

[T6Paul]

Can anyone provide any information regarding tyre pressures for the 255/45/19 104XL all round?

The standard 17's run at 58 PSI... My understanding is that I should run them slightly lower due to the increased width?...

 

[Captain Mainwaring]

Is that tyre size correct? 255/45 is the 'right' size for 18" so would give you an increased rolling radius fitted to a 19"

 

[T6Paul]

255/45/19 a slight increase in size, =3% otherwise it's going wide at 275/40/19

I believe these are the only suitable 19 inch options for a T32?...

 

[T6Paul]

The wheels arrived yesterday..... I'm a bit disappointed as they are all (matte) black, unlike the photo where the spokes appeared lighter?....

I think they will look alright on?....

I put these on this week. I went for the 18''s with Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres.

 

[zelak999]

 

[T6Paul]

And in 19 Inch with Uniroyal Rain Sport 3

 

[T6Paul]

Really hoping the Bilsteins will be available next week so that I can get it lowered....

 

[zelak999]

now i wished i'd gone for 19's!
Where did you get the vw caps from?
Id like to lower mine but only want to do the VW dealer 30mm option, i guess itll hardly be worth it.

 

[T6Paul]

I got the caps off eBay item 201588109047 (68mm BMW cap size) they are a very good fit

 

[T6Paul]

@zelak999 Are your bolts black or are they caps?
