I am stuck to be honest.
Would almost certainly impact insurance, hopefully not to much. Would possibly impact the warranty, but only the wheels and suspension parts probably. But to be honest, who cares. I wouldn't, you takes your chance as they say. ??
Trouble is will the car destroy em next time you gun it ?. Also if 13mm takes the tyre edge outside the arch theyre illegal. I think Im just gonna try some quality spacers & wait until I have more information. Ive looked at similar 19” rims myself but if they aren’t suitable its a very expensive mistake innit.
Yep, you take your chance to a certain extent, but a bit of research should minimise the chance a lot. Don't think you would destroy them, when you gun it, 13mm isn't that much really, pretty sure having looked at X Power's they wouldn't sit proud of the arch. But to minimise the chance even more, 19x8 as opposed to 19x8.5 might be a better choice. ?
Saying that our current alloys are 8 so I agree 8.5 is ok because the stock alloys are well inside the arch.
Rang service department today @ Perrys Preston. No recall or comment from MG. Booked infotainment system software upgrade for both our cars for Sat morning (R46). Our cars were collected in late Nov & Dec 2nd for the x power if that helps anyone else.
45 profile to 40 profile would be hardly noticeable.
My brother during his mid-life crisis stage bought an ex-demonstrator SLK and he had smaller rims and larger tyres fitted to soften the ride so yes the reverse is true. Larger rims and smaller sidewalls will certainly lead to a visit to a chiropractor.
Depends how small the sidewall is. One drop down in profile, won't make much, if any difference at all. ??
I had this SLK & absolutely Loved it ?
