Which 19" CSL reps would be the best fit please

[mr wilks]

Yes I was talking bout eibachs on top of that, sorry for misconception. There is no point in wheel alignment and all that fun without car being lowered. Stock rear gap between tyre and fender in the top point is like 8-10 cm.
235 on 8,5 is too strechted in my opinion.

235-35 is a well known recommendation for any 8.5j rim.
What would you suggest?

Yes, of course it is. There is no other choice.
I am not a fan of 235 on 8,5 so I choose my wheels on zed to be 8.0 up front with 235/35 when talking 19" (225/35 is just not enough tyre for me)

Good you have a favoured spec / set up
For others following this thread a pic to show what a 225-35-19 looks like on a 8j et 37 front wheel fitted to a lowered Si coupe (no rubbing)

id go with the Rivas... the width and offset of the rear of the Atomics seems like a poor fit... would need a 15mm spacer to bring that into spec i'd say.

have you stuck them on to willtheyfit.com? get an exact reading on how mush further in or out they'll sit.

I have and I'm still none the wiser if I'm honest :| I hear what Mr Wilks is saying about the tyre aspect ratio for comfort but it throws the speedo well out as well increasing the ride height. My car is not a daily - it's for fun and I'd like it to look good as well. The Rivas are tipping the balance ever so slightly...

In those photo I prefer the look of the Atomics. They look bigger because the centre is slightly smaller with bigger gaps all around. I was going to get Riva DTMs but will be looking into CMWheels own brand versions too. Also all the silvers are slightly different Hyper/Quartz etc so depends how glossy, metallic you want them. The Riva's that were on a car I nearly bought looked like a flatter grey silver in the light of day (pic attached).

Just a quick update if anybody is interested...
I went the 224 route in the end, I saw a deal on a very clean used set with nearly new Michelins and I could not turn it down.
