Further wheel deliberations. Does anyone run 9.5x19 rear wheels with a 40mm offset? I'm interested to see how they sit, as that's 22.7mm (by my reckoning) further out than the standard wheels and 5mm further out than the 19" Cades Apollo that were on my car when I bought it. The Apollos certainly filled the arches. I'm guessing it's pretty much flush with the outside of the arch, but I don't want the rims to poke out beyond. I'd probably put 255/35 rubber on them. A touch narrow maybe, but 265/30 being the alternative, sounds a bit too 'rubber band' like to me.

9.5 et40 fit a treat on rear non M E85/86.
255-35-19 also ideal fitment.
