Hi all i know they should be 235 35 19 on snowies but been offered a set of the above for stupid low price will they be ok?

I´m affraid that they will not fit in the arches at all.. The sidewall on those tires are to high..

235/35/19: Rolling circumference - 2036mm, Diameter - 648mm
245/45/19: Rolling circumference - 2212mm, Diameter - 704mm

Your speedo will read 8.6% less than your actual speed.

Just got that from here http://www.autopartuk.com/tyre-calculator/

thanks for the info bud i know its far from perfect but they ill do for now?

No problem

I think the issue may be that they might rub on the inner wheel arch. Is there a way you can test fit them and turn the wheels lock to lock?

They're going to rub like crazy, I'm sure of it. Mine are 245/35/19 and they are very close at full lock.

**Angel1368** · 22nd February 2013, 21:34

will they look stupid aswell?

Sorry to hijack the thread guys,, has anyone fitted 235/40/19 tyres instead of the 35 profile, just wandering if the extra width of a 40 profile would offer a bit more cushioning .... Curious
