Tyre size LCR225 on 19s

[DIESEL DOCTOR]

Hi all need some advice my car has 19x8.5 wheel mainia with 225/35/19 tyres that keep taking inside edge out down to cords had new springs and dampers weitec 50/50 sits nice but I am wanting to know can i fit 235/35/19 tyres or put it back on 18s .Had tracking and camber done after springs/damps fitted any help [need a few more posts to get photo on ]

You might find that the inside edge of tyre is rubbing on something. Did they also check the toe in/out of the wheels when they were tracked. Also how long after fitting the spring etc was the camber/tracking checked. You can fit 235's but you may find they rub.

 

[DIESEL DOCTOR]

tracking camber check all done together after springs /dampers were fitted on state of the art equipment at southam tyres cannot see any rub marks on car also the first set whitch were on cr when i got it wore flt

Just to be on safe side I'd get them to double check it as the car might have settled abit more

What offset are they and are you using spacers?

 

[DIESEL DOCTOR]

not sure what offset but they have got 5mm spacer onfront 10mm on back [trying to get pic on ]

Well if you've had a full wheel alignment done and everythings been adjusted I'd say that points to a rubbing issue?

Is it both fronts or just one side?

 

[DIESEL DOCTOR]

Hi yes it is both sides think i will try for a set of 18s what u say are the rs4s any good

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I know you have had it done but wear on the inside of both front tyres points to them not being aligned properly.

Imagin how pissed off you will be if you buy a set of new 18's and it does excatly the same......

I ran 235/35/19 when I had my 19s. No rubbing issues. Very close to the coilovers though. I dont think that running a wider tyre will solve the issue of an upset geometry though.

 

[DIESEL DOCTOR]

Thanks for the feedback lads i am looking at some RS4 style wheel and tyres but i think i will get set up check again after tyres have been done .May also look for a set of18s

I am running BBS CH014, 235/3519 et30/8.5j and i am getting rubbing on the front arch but only on crap rounds or the car is loaded, Again i am really close to the coilovers.

@speedinsaxo what ET were your wheels, as the rubbing is starting to piss me off?

et45, but i used a 10mm spacer. think my alloys are 8 wide also.

that would be it, i am ET30 and 8.5 wide,it is a miracle they fit at all, but damnnn they look nice.

I'm ET33 8.5 with my 18's and there pretty close to the helper spring of the coilover so yours must be super close being 19's?
