Tyre and wheel question

[SilverGTi_6]

Hey all,

I currently have 20x10 wheels on my Z with 275 tyres. I'm considering getting a set of RCZ-R wheels to give 19s a try for a bit. I just had a couple of quick questions that I was hoping some of you may be able to help with:

- Are the RCZ-R wheels 19x9 as opposed to the 19x8.5 that my 2011 came with? I read somewhere that they were wider, but can't find confirmation anywhere.

- Has anyone run 255/35/19 on either their stock wheels or R wheels? Rolling diameter is pretty close and I really like the extra width of the 275s (and think the 235s look way too skinny from the rear), so thought 255 may be a nice compromise.

If they R wheels are the same width, I may just give my stock wheels a go (it's always had the 20s under my ownership).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ben

I am running 235/40/19 - I wanted to fit 245/40/19 - very little circumference difference. Rears were ok - but the front larger tyres interfered with the wheel arch. Especially on full lock.

Useful calculator here...

Thanks mate. Yep, 255/35/19 has a lower rolling diameter than stock.

No one can confirm the width of the RCZ-R wheels?

I don't know if any of this helps, but check it out anyway...

Thanks mate. Yeah, I’ve searched everywhere online but there is nothing to confirm. That link says 8-9 which doesn’t help. One other site said 20x9 for the R, but they def don’t have 20s as far as I’m aware. Unfortunately just can’t find anything definitive.

I was hoping one of the R owners could potentially check the stamp on the back of their wheel.

Where will it be - I've just taken my wheel off.

Thanks heaps mate. It should have some letters stamped onto the back of the spokes.

It'd be something like '19x9' and should have another stamp with 'ET27' etc which would be the offset. Other stamps will likely include place of manufacture, maximum weight etc.

If it's easier to just take a pic of the writing / letters that'd be awesome.

Really appreciate you doing that mate. Forgot that you had an R!
