Who thinks I should buy these for my Vibe?

Post by Smokin' Rubber »

"19X9 rear 19X8 front. Offset 42 5/5M PCD 100/114.3 GM with Nitto 245/35ZR19 93W on front and 275/30ZR 96W. (2003). 300 miles on tires." For only $100 lolAnd yeah I know that I have a front wheel drive so it makes no sense to have larger rear tires but oh well. Hehe and now I can be like MadBill and have 270's on my car

I think you should buy those for MY vibe! Those are nice. You'd be a fool not to buy them.

Hell, for that price, go for it! I think with 19's you might need to get your speedo recalibrated though...

You'd have to....19's are cutting it a tad close though.

well its not that the 19's in 35 ratio wouldn't fit its the fact that its 19 and its 275 wide lol, altho MadBill managed to fit 275 18's so I think I should be ok

if you are only talking about wheel diameter it would have no affect on the speedometer reading, what would do it is a different outer tire diameter. Tire width should not have an affect on how the speedo reads either, however that will adversely affect your turning radius.

Tire width should not have an affect on how the speedo reads either, however that will adversely affect your turning radius.well technically if the diameter of the wheels + tires is larger than whatever the stock is the speedometer will be off (and the offset will be worse at higher speeds) due to the fact that the larger the diameter a wheel/tire is the less it has to rotate to go one mile, this means that your speedometer will be showing a lower speed than what you are actually going.as for adversely effecting turning radius, this is only and issue if the new width rubs up against the wheel well before it actually hits the mechanical barrier that prevents the wheels from turning any farther. Since the front wheels are only 245 in width there should be no problems with the turning.
