19" rims: which ones?

Good remark MM, what is the best offset and measurements to have a staggered set that best fits the car (and does not fail MOT) taking into account I want to lower it a little as well?

Probably 8,5 front and 9,5 rears, but what is the best offset?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I thought:
Front 235/35R19 Y
Rear 265/30R19 Y

for a staggered set that is...

As for the ride, it will probably be similar to 18's with rft's?
 
I have 19" wheels and run flats its harsh. But i found it quite harsh on 18" wheel. Tram lining seems to be no worse.

As for the best size i wouldn't like to say. I have 8 front 9 rear i think. I have standerd suspension. I think the 3.0l cars are a bit lower? I get very very minor rubbing at speed in a big compression. I have no marks on tiers or arches i have just heard it once or twice.

Do you use spacers with that set? If so, made them yourself probably ;-)
 
I quite like these ones:

Another vote for a set of Cades Tyrus, again possibly biased:

Sorry buddy only just noticed this. No no spacers at all they fill the arch and look great. Had to put a 108 on the rear yesterday due to a problem with a dodgy wheel. It looked bloody silly compared to a 19" you must do it. I can't find a picture but look at 3sdm wheels similar to the csl but also different enough. If that makes sense??? Shame your not close by I am sure I could get a good deal buying 2 set!!!
 
The ideal ET value is still al ittle confusing to me... To my understanding, the smaller the value, the more they will stand out ("stanced"?) ? But what range should be respected for the E85 in order not to have any rubbing issues? ET20 to ET45?

Any experts on this?

all depends on width of the wheel
 
well, I'm after no rubbing and fitting perfectly in the arches (no MOT fail)
Is that what you mean?

In fact, the width doesn't really matter, as long as they fit the arches nicely (if you understand what I mean).
 
in that case you need et25 at the rear , don't know what mot regulations in belgium, but in uk wheels(not the tyres) can be 30mm outside the bodywork
 
I understand, in Belgium they cannot move past the arches, so for us it's ET 25 or higher? I suppose that more than ET40 would give rubbing issues?
 
How about 107? And get a little plasti dip I plan on plasti dipping my 107s but I'm to lazy got the cans already
