That's quite a bit different from the recommended Plus tire size. "Recommendation" is to stay within 3% of the OE wheel/tire diameter and your set up is 8.86% larger. Just some information that I thought I would pass along.

He is from dirty jerz. Nyc heads and jersey heads don't follow rules. Looks good dude but you definately need some 20"s.

Thanks Neuronbob for cleaning it up!!!!!!

Treblig - i know about the recommended.These are my summer wheels from my BMW and fit my RL i know tires size is perfect for bmw but small as you can see on the RL.
But i think im gonna sell these since i got a new set of 19's for the bmw.. Im getting 20's for my RL.

T-jay - you right dont follow rules but i will get 20's if you sell me yours at a good price....lol

Foose wheels look better on old American muscle cars for some reason. Luckily, there are some solid choices in 20s for the RL. Good luck!

I was going to comment on the tire size as well. The 235/35-19 has quite a bit less load capacity than the standard 17 inch tire (245/50-17), or the recommended plus sized 18 (245-45-18) and 19 (245/40-19) tires, going from approximately a 96 to an 88 load rating, not taking into account diameter differences, which are also pretty large.

But since these are temporary tires and wheels, I guess that is OK.

I'm not a big fan of chrome, but must say chrome on a black RL does look very nice. Good job


Got any ideas for what type of 20's your looking for?

you guys are so funny!! Yea the rims dont look great but he did say he is getting new ones. And recomended size for a cars wheels is a guide line if he feels like putting 20's or 22's dam rights he will put them on.

The more information we have the better decisions we make. Everyone was just trying to be helpful, that's what we do around here.

Nice

What kind of tires did you get?

Do you know the specs of the wheel?
20x?
Offset?
Centering ring required
lug seat?

Thanks
