Question

Is there anyone that have 19" on there Scooby?
If you want 18" I think offset 50 is minimum.
If it is possible to have 19" I think you have to roll out youre wheel arches a lot.
And what dimentions on the tyre is possible to use....hmmm i think it gonna be a "little" hard ride after you have the 19" wheels on.

Hi Christian

I run Rimstocks 7 x 18" "motorsport" on the Trouser (Ex)press with 215/35/18's on. No rubbing even with four mates on the return visit from the pie shop.

I reckon running 19"'s will firstly earn you undying respect but also make you very popular with your local wheel emporium.....Running on that series of tyre is bad for your wheels, fillings and wallet. ... Mind you, how good are the roads there?

The pot holes round here necessitate some interesting driving lines!!!!!

I have just fitted 18" Speedline GT1's with P-Zero 225/35's. They are a very tight fit, with very little clearance between the tyre and the rear struts ( but enough thank God!!).

I would have thought that to fit 19"ers you would have to start messing with the wheel arches, suspension etc.

I would also be very interested to know what tyres you would have to use. A very large elastic band I think !!!

Good luck

Simon

Simon what width are the Speedline GT1's you've fitted and what offset? Just looking at their info and they only seem to offer the 18" wheels in 8.0" which i'd have thought would be a little too wide (correct me if i'm wrong!)

Cheers

Hi,

18 inch Radius 3's suit the car well and are silver.

The 18" Speedline GT1 lite's in Subaru fitment are 7.5 width (at least the ones on my car are ).
