Tyre fitment Q 9.5J wheel

[skinnynphats200]

Wheel is 17 X 9.5J - ET12 - what is the best size tyre for this...
They would be going on a r32. I want a bit of stretch on it but not too much - I suppose that depends on the car also

Thanks in advance

I recon a 205/45 would look well on a 9.5J.

You looking for another slap!

jasus there would be a fair stretch on a 205 on a 9.5.. id say a 225/40 would be ideal and u would still have a good stretch at that !!!!!

[skinnynphats200]

I could be persuaded, I like a good spanking now and then! ;)

Would a 205 not have a bit too much stretch on it though? Like would it pop off the rim easier

that will tell all you need to know

205 would be too much IMO. As said, a 225 40 or something!

225 fits grand :D:D:D:D

[skinnynphats200]

Ok so 225 it is, cheers lads

[skinnynphats200]

A 45 or 40?

[insejn]

i've 225/45 on a 9.5j at the moment and if i could i would go for 40 but its a very very rare tyre to come across tbh !

had 235/40 which wasnt that much of a strech, a nice bit, but a 225/45 look better ! and a 225/40 would be just sex (if ya can get hold of it )

The 235 even look like a nice enough bit of stretch...
Now i'm unsure :huh:

how low is the car?
you intend of using spacers at some stage?
what tyres are on now?
how far do the wheels come out the arches?
are the arches rolled?
how hard is your suspension?

narrow tyres will be cheaper don't forget that

answer these questions and you wont be that unsure .. :)

There goin on the rear. 9's are going on the front, 215 probably on that ten if thats right

225/40 will fit nice with a small bit of camber just to get them inside the archs

I have 225/40 on a 9.5j and there isn't a major stretch on them at all.

I was looking at some pics and there looked to be a decent bit, you any pics of yours Greg?

sometimes it depends on the tyre , i think the strenght of the wall like.

before i 225/40/18 diamondback on a pair of wheels an it looked like there was savage stretch.. then i stuck on the exact same size federals an they looked completely different on them .. didn look near as much stretch. is say its because the likes of federals have a biggish rim protector an maybe they blow out more evenly than the cheaper make tyres !!!!!!

So it could be with a cheaper Tyre the wall will more likely be weaker and might get more stretch

ya i think so , thats the way it looked to me a few times after swappin tyres anyway ... im sure some the lads might have more to say !!

[Derk]

215/45/17 should be ideal on them.. Can do budget tyre for €65 a piece.

[Cooldrft]

I had 215/45/17 on a 9.5" rim on my r32 before + they had a nice size stretch.
