From 17s to 19s

[EvoVIIIJDM]

Question:

I currently am running stock 17" 235 45 5 spokes on my sv6 lowerd lovells 1.5inch. Im planning on buying 19s this weekend how high is it going to alter my ride height? Obviously diameter has changed, how does that increase relate to the actual height?

if im right your actual car hight would go up about half a inch, 12.5mm

as the total difrence in rims with tyres is ruffly 1 inch diamiter, so half that would be 12mm or soo

if ive worked it out right,

Your rim diameter will change (obviously) but your overall rolling radius won't necessarily change because you'll fit lower profile tyres as well. There may be a slight difference in rolling radius, depending on the profile of the tyres fitted.

So the answer is - no change to ride height at all.

19s- 245/30? if so, tyre profile is 73.5mm. so 73.5 x 2 = 147mm. 19inch is 475mm so add 147 to that and you get total hight off 622mm
17s-235/45 tyre profile height 105mm . so 105 x 2 = 210mm. 17inch is 425mm so add 210 to that and you get total hieght of 635mm

so i was wrong before it would lower your car 6mm. thats if im right

It will be a 35 profile, not a 30 profile. Nobody makes a 245/30, if he wants a 30 profile he will have to go to a 255.

Wrong, going to 19s from 17s will lift the car slightly!

And 19s for commos are (245 or 235)/35/19

Depending completely on the tyre profile...

Not really, cause unless u can get 235/(30, maybe even 25)/19s then they're always going to be bigger than 235/45/17s

[EvoVIIIJDM]

having a look this weekend. So I can pretty much be sure for lowered struts and springs to get it to its desired road height. I want 105mm clearance, from the bottom of of sideskirt/front kit

[EvoVIIIJDM]

guards hopefully getting rolled tomorrow morning.

You can get 225/30's etc.

[EvoVIIIJDM]

guard rolling next saturday, tyre power adelaide. Rims afterwards. OOh yeah.

When I went from a 235/40/18 to a 235/35/19 it lifted my car just marginally.
Also 1991_Vn2nV I haven't found any 30 profile 19's that are smaller then around a 285.

Yeah I know, but I wouldnt really want them on my car, way too small profile for such heavy cars to be honest!

Hankook etc. make them in skinnier than a 285. Only problem is they are expensive and are generally a soft compound tyre so wont last long. Cheapest i've found for a 30 profile in 19" is $390 which were Hankook 255's. I think Full Run make a cheaper 255/30 but havent been to a store that sells them since i've been looking.

Sit the tyres side by side. If the new one is 20mm higher at the top your ride height will be increased by 10mm.
