Tyre Q in relation to wheel width?

[after_shock]

Correct me if im wrong but the standard VXR 19' wheels are 8' wide? On these ive got 245 wide tyres.

Now ive finally found a set of wheels which I quite like that on paper will fit, but they are 8.5' wide, however when doing the 'buy' button on the website it comes up do you want to add tyres so click yes and it says 245 wide tyres, is that right or should they be a touch wider??

Use this calculator. http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

245 is fine on rims between 8-9.5" wide.

Thanks for the link ARAF, I didn't know about this one.

I've always had to use the manufacturers sites to try and find rim width range and measuring rim width for certain tyre widths. Toyo's the only one with the full info easily available.

Come on, if we all googled everything we wouldn't have a forum.

Couldn't agree more.
Why search through loads of BS when you can post on here and get the RIGHT information within a few minutes?
This site and it's encyclopaedic contributors have saved me loads in terms of money and time.

Bring on the Q's peeps.

Maybe but its what makes this one of the best Forums on PH's IMO, the friendly helpful people
If we stop jumping through hoops for each other it would loose its appeal, again IMO

Car sales are fine thanks The 2 day hangover and 5 hours sleep in 3 days wasnt however hence being a bit sharp, however I am going to side with the other ppl in the thread, I wouldnt have asked a question if hadnt already searched and as I said the only calculators I could come across where before and after tyre size ones nothing relating to width of the wheels!

I wouldn't go that far, but you'll get an opinion.

Yeah just read the Dyno thread, plenty of opinions on there.... any RIGHT info, well........

Point is, you get advice/opinions from people you know, not a "Yahoo Answers" type keyboard warrior spouting cr@p!
