I'm looking at getting:

4x 19" Eleanor Rims (PCD is 5x114.3 and the offset is 45mm)
4x 245/40R19 98Y XL KU31
20x Wheel nuts (12x1.5, 36mm Long, 19mm Hex)

Can anyone confirm that these will fit my car and that the nuts i have choosen are the correct size ?

Will i have any problems with:

Stock Suspension + Stock Springs
Stock Suspension + Lows
Stock Suspension + Super Lows
Stock Suspension + Super Low / Low Combo
KYB Suspension + Lows
KYB Suspension + Super Lows
KYB Suspension + Super Low / Low Combo



Ive worked out that currently I have:


4x 16" Verada Rims (PCD is 5x114.3 and the offset is 45mm)
4x 215/60R16

Meaning that:

Specification----Sidewall----Radius----Diameter----Circumference----Difference

215/60R16------5.1in--------13.1in-----26.2in-------82.2in--------------0.0%
245/40R19------3.9in--------13.4in-----26.7in-------83.9in--------------2.1%

Meaning my speedo will be 2.1% out, does anybody feel that this is a lot with their own vehicles.

I do see that even at 110, my speedo is going to be reading ~107.69, meaning that if I did bump my speed up to show 110 I would actually be doing ~112.3.

Those sizes should be fine. I have 19's with 245, lows and kyb shocks and have no probs with it.
Though the offset for the rims seem odd, maybe because im running +35 offset.
The speed difference is normal, I use my GPS for excact speed, pretty accurate too.

Schnell (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57888) has a tyre/ wheel package on his car that's got an almost identical OD that you're choosing to run, (2mm difference, same width) See what issues he had - not many really.

The main issue I see is the offset of the wheel. I would suggest that a 35+ offset would be more suitable or maybe a 38+ offset would do.

True, but you're running a 5% thinner profile tyre than the OP is suggesting.

I was running 235/45/18s on my AWD & had scrubbing issues with the GE flars, front & rear, plus the splash guards due to too much castor.

i was running 245/18/45 with a +45 offset, never had any scrubbing issues

Everything is good except for 1 thing, why why why why do people have to go with eleanors, there are like 10,000 other rim choices but everyone has the exact same rim now :cry:

haha nah its ok his in WA
not many people over here have them
think i've seen like one or two cars with them in my travels

Yup yup.

I have always liked them (but have been holding our for black rims), i like the style of rims that have zero dish, they just look bigger.

And bigger is better.

i have bboss maddisons 235/35/r19s did have 245s but the scrubbed on the inside right at full lock the tyre was polishing the metat on the inside of the wheel hub but no more problems any more

Yup yup.

They arent factory 2k btw, so your clear coat warranty wont cover it.

mate maybe try going for a 235/40/R19 tyre instead of a 245/40/R19
the 235's are much closer to your stock rolling diameter

They arent factory 2k btw, so your clear coat warranty wont cover it.

pretty sure these rims are ones that have been returned under warranty
then they have been painted black and resold like they are brand new

Here is a good chart to have a play with
Offsets - wheel sizes - tyre sizes clearances etc

Interesting then it will have 4 sets of mine then that will be resold.

long story short, the clear coat they use is wang.
