You won't gain any extra grip going up in size ie 19 " you want wider wheels , my tyres are on a stretch still got a 225 on a 9.5 j same as they are on standard Lcr 7.5 j wheels , et38 on the front hit the calipers your best going et23 fronts with a 5mm spacer and massive stretch on The tire I'm planning on 245 tyres next

I thought sizes were 17s and 18s are 225 and 19s are 235, would these not work out as 8.5 and 9.5? If so that's what I mean by the 19s just because they're usually wider. I want an 18" whell that's as wide as a 19 basically.
 
Bronze not black ;)

Lenso are a know cheap and nasty wheel fake splits heavy copy's , there are loads of difference , rota make light weight wheels

It's your car you can get what you want
 
Ive got 8.5" fronts et35 and im runnin a 20mm spacer... So its et15, 215/40 tire and fits fine...

215/40 would mean less traction than standard tho, I just want to increase the tire surface on the road, I tried searching for Starfishes "j" rating but all I could find was that theyre .5 something... If my starfishes are 7.5j or 8j then I can happily go for 8.5j all round with no worries or even the 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears righty!?!?
 
i was looking for a dished wheel for ages. gave up and decided to get my RS6's refurbed.

One day i might get some adapters and go dish.... but for now il stick to what i know :(

interested to see what you go for!
