Hmm.. Why are 30 profile tyres only for large width tyres?
I cannot get the wheels engineered with a 35 profile tyre, it makes the overall diameter of the wheel too large, it must be within 15mm of the original rolling diameter to get the wheel legally engineered.
A 35 profile 19" wheel would be fine if the tyre was skinnier, making the rolling diameter the same... But on a 245 tyre a 35 profile simply makes it too large...
And I got 245's cause I wanted fat tyres... Tyrepower said it would be fine as did Wheel Worx... But it does rub on the strut because of the increased diameter of the tyre and it only JUST rubs. I cant see where its touching though, it must be at the very centre where its making contact...

Yeah but the problem is they didnt fit the wheels because they are good for nothing amateurs.
They couldnt fit the wheels as they could not get the locknuts on so they put the tyres on my back seat and said they couldnt get the old wheels off as the lock nut key broke.
I brang them home and a 22mm socket was a PERFECT match for my old lock nuts (which I no longer use). So I think they would say its my problem not theirs.
