You didnt check the date on the post ,did you? and dont call me surely [:I][:I],as usual i posted the question but got no help/replies so i played the safe card and went with the 19's , glad i did too ,the 20's would have meant serious body mods and probably mega low profile tyres.[:(]

[TANNERS]

SORRY SHAG I'LL KEEP MY EYES OPEN IN FUTURE
did you need to mod the arches for the 19s and would you need to do it for 18s do you think?

also do you prefer brenda?? or gladiss??
i like blodwen !!!!

or shall we stick to TANNERS AND GIXX[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:)]

Depending on the off-set of the wheels you're putting on will determine if you need to touch the arches.My 18" only rubbed when i had a big load , but the 19" rub with less load ,as their off-set is less ,i will just need to roll the lip and it will be o.k.
p.s did u watch the rugby...[}:)][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:X]

I don't know how you're driving with 19"
I put 18x8.5 on mine et44 and it drives so hard ,specially on bad roads...but the tyres are still far from the arches...245/45's
the car is not lowered...
What PSI do you put in yours?

[TANNERS]

he's got an rx 7 aswell, so a hard ride is probably second nature!!!

how does it drive by the way

Are the roads that bad in the Leb dafi?, i had 235/40's on my 18's and i thought they were o.k., i've noticed the 19's with the 255 tyres tend to tramline more but its not really a problem and the ride is about the same, the van is lowered but the springs i have (cobra's) dont seem to be that stiff , although they're uprated 25%.

motorways are good as they are new,but some mountain roads are literally left over from the romans...
You can immagine how a Vito with 18" rides on those..
it tramlines a bit at lower speeds,but it's OK at high speed[over 40mph]...I use 35 PSI in all..it's never loaded...Is that OK?...[8D]
