aftermarket wheels
hey guys, i just bought a 2003 x-type and i have 235/35/19 tires with donz luciano wheelson there..
everytime i hit a bump they rub and there getting all cut up on the outside and inside.
the inside of my front right tire actually came apart yesterday, whats the largest tire that can fit? i see on the internet that there are 225/35/19 combos but im not sure if that would clear it, thanks in advance!

RE: aftermarket wheels
Hey gmoney n welcome to the forums bud
Re your question, there are quite a few on here fairly knowledgable about sizes of rims on the X. There's quite a few with 18's and are quite happy and some that rub. I'm sure there's one or two that have 19's but have had loads of problems with rubbing and tyre wear. There's talk of rolling fenders and various other tricks, but its pretty much all the same as far as I have seen.
I'm sure that someone with definitive knowledge will be along to answer soon, but it may be the price you pay for the look you want
Myself, I have stuck with the Sport 17's and have no issues.

RE: aftermarket wheels
Gmoney, see below just some of the threads relating to rim / tyre size and you'll get an idea of just how complicated and costly this can be.
I am I admit sometimes envious cos they look great, I just couldn't be bothered with the fuss not to mention the cost. Just my opinion.

RE: aftermarket wheels
gmoney, what size are your wheels? I have 19x8 Armano Vega's w/ 225/35/19 and they rub but not as much as you are mentioning.
I had 215/35/19 tires but with a 8" wheel, the rim stuck out and the ride was like crap! But no rubbing.
235's are way too wide for the X.
225/35/19's are perfect but you will experience some rubbing on large bumps and when people are in the back.

RE: aftermarket wheels
find the offset of the factory 18's, and stick with that. they are 18x 7's, but i believe the offset is 42mm. I have 18's with the factory 16' offset of 38 mm and rub bad. these cars arent made to be hooked up. stick with OEM 18" offset wheels and no bigger or you'll be annoyed, broke, and sorry.
