Hope i hav'nt jumped in to quick but had enough of a harsh ride with runflats ! i have a 2007 2.0i sport i have just bought some new wheels, deep dish staggered fitment, the rears are 255/35/19 and think these are ok but the fronts are 235/35/19 will they fit ok, at moment i have 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear

Well I have that wise rubber on mine. It's the offset of the wheel that is going to potentially be a problem. It's an et number?
 
The rears sound much bigger (4%) than standard, but the fronts don't seem that bad (1.6% bigger).

As you didn't check that the tyre sizes were okay before you bought, can we also assume you didn't check the offsets/widths either :poke: :P
 
Dodgy buying before you know.

Put your wheel details into one of these sites - they won't tell you if the wheels will rub but they will show how the new wheels will line up in relation to your old wheels.

i think ideally you need 30 profiles on the rear, rather than 35's. front's should be fine, depending on the offset of the alloys.
 
might find it a bit sluggish under acceleration with the bigger diameter tyres on the back. kwik fit once fitted some obscure sizes on the back of my m3 and I noticed the shite acceleration before I checked the tyres were correct.
 
Sorry missed the profile.I had 255/35 rears on mine they will rub! See if you can change them buddy unless you drive on virgin tarmac like a saint. It was not a lot but enough to stop you enjoying the car for what it is!!
