Wheel Clearance?

[skunk]

hey all, im thinkin of getting 19s put on my T

my question is whether or not there will be enough clearance for the rear as I want the staggerd fit 9.5/275 on the rear.

will I need to roll the lip ? my tyre man couldnt tell me.. actually all he said was to get htat checked out as he didnt really know :|

lol, maybe you should get a new tyre guy! you will probly need the lip rolled at least, wouldn't be surprised if its a sedan that you need to roll the gaurd, someone should know though!

hey dude, just talk to a few different tyre shops, even go to one and ask if you can fit a 9.5" wheel up to see if it clears, if it does you'll be spending good money with the place, so they should be happy to do it for you

thx for the advice senna. yeah ill have to go in n ask them bout that. now I dont s'pose ud know a place in melb that does guard/lip rolling, should I require that to be done? I was told just any panel beaters joint would do that but if someone has used a particular place in melb n can recomend, that would be better.

ahh I cant wait till my T's more moded lol.. I get jealous lookin at another persons T esp when theyv got a nice big shinny intercooler compared to my lil pissy stockie lol

Mate I just got new wheels couple weeks ago, 19 x 9.5" on the back with 275. Don't scrub at all, my car has super low springs in back too. Even had a car full of people on the weekend and it was all good.

[senna_T]

there you go - pretty convincing, you should be ok

that's good to hear because I plan to run 275's on the back as well.

I run 275 on the rears as well, and I had to get the right hand side rolled. It was just touching.

I guess it depends on offset?

You should try Motorsport Wheels and Tyres on the South Gippy Hwy in Dandenong. Cheap wheels and once we worked out it was rubbing, sent me direct to their bloke who did the guard 15 minutes later for 20 bucks. Good guys....

I used to have 275/30/19s on the rears with King Springs Ultra low and no touchin at all and no rollin gaurds.

just need to choip some bump stops.
