Is it okay to roll with 19x8 all around (temporarily)?

rrrruben is infamous around these parts
Assuming they are all the same offset (ET); ~50ET. You may want to apply 10mm spacers at the rear to keep it planted.

If you're running AWD make sure all the tires are the same size.

You might encounter slight oversteer so don't drive it aggressively with that setup

Thanks guys. So you suggest run a wider tire in the back at least?

No, don't bother. Just get the proper 19x10 or 19x11 sized wheel.

I hope your version of "Temporary" means a couple weeks at most and not a couple years.

Definitely wouldn't recommend it. Get a proper set of wheels for it, not these half done solutions. Don't know what your budget is, but shoot me a PM and we'll think of a solution.

I think the OP is asking if he's going to break something by driving with 8" all around. Assuming the tire diameters are correct, nothing will break because of the wheel size. Performance and safety would be the major concern if you were to drive the car the way it was intended.

It depends on what he plans to do with it. Take it from the house to the shop twice or three times or drive through the winter with it? As said, not recommended really. All things can be done, but it remains to see for how long.

Just to do some regular driving... No extreme driving. I'm waiting for my actual wheels to be assembled that meets the spec. The 19x8 is just temp and to drive around normal no heavy turns.
