Spacer

Hi

I have a set of Gemballa wheels, the rear ones are 12,5x19 ET59. What spacer should I use and what tyres? Would really need some help with this one.

Thanks!

Crazy wide wheels you got there!! 12.5" is ALOT....

According to wheel offset calculator: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

You could try something like 15mm spacers (making the offset to 44mm).

In that way the wheels would extend 20mm (this is manageable) compared to stock wheels (11"x18 45mm) and there would be 18mm less room inside (I don't know if this is okay, see yourself)

For tires go with 315/25/19 unless you have some modifications and space for wider ones. Those tires will be strectched though.

Hope you can make it work but you can always reconsider your wheel fitment, that 12.5" is a bit crazy if you have the stock bodywork

Best regards from Finland,

Thank you for your answer.

I would go for other wheels but they are here in my garage and I would like to try them on, I`ll post some pictures if they will fit.
