Default 19" Wheels only asking.

Need to beg , borrow or steal two 19" x 8" rims. et around 35
Want to attempt 210+ on 5th gear & we are using our longest gearing & Mark still hit the limiter . Dont really want to buy anymore wheels as i have 3 sets already. I know its a cheek but i can only ask.
I will be fitting Dunlop competition tyres so condition of tyres is of no importance.
Cheers Rod

Rod,
Phone Chris Flint at Carnoisseur on 01702 482545, I just cleared it with him and he will lend you two of his 19" Superlegaras, these are ET42, so with a 7mm spacer (which he can source TUV approved ones which go on the Porsches and the like, so will be up to it) will achieve the required offset. Only condition is that you have a Carnoisseur sticker on the car as well .

surely a big tyre or wheel company whould give you a set for free for the free advertizing you could give them
i have got a set of 20 " wheels but 10 " wide to fit 5 stud
probably no use
but one of my customers has got a set of 19" on his escort cosy
he comes on here as cozy chris ill try and get in touch

I've got a set of 19x7.5s you can borrow if you like. No rushes to get them back fast as I'm not using them at the moment. ET around 42 I think.

Good luck with 210mph

why don't you just change the diff to a 3.1 crown wheel and pionion your car would pull that pice of piss no probs Granada diesil

My mate's who have got GTO V8 in their cossies use this ratio and they can pull it easy your car has more torque and power than theirs and they manage ok
