Hello people!!!! I need help !! I recently purchased 19” wheels for my 2001 Monte Carlo and I was wondering if anyone current running 19”s on theirs. I need help finding the correct tire size the wheels are staggered so if anyone could please help me with the size I would really really appreciate! God bless !

 

We could probably be of more help if you can post the specs on your wheels. When you say staggered, I presume you mean either width or offset? (Since you didn't mention 18/19 or 19/20)

 

19/20 ! My apologies for not mentioning it

 

What about rim width and offset? Rim width will generally dictate tire width and offset will dictate a cap on what size will work before hitting the strut or fender.

 

Going to be honest idk I bought them in the wrecking yard for 200 the wheels are Linea Corse Dyna it had a tag with the set and it said 19x8.5 anything will help!

 

Are you wanting to also stagger overall height, or are you looking to keep them about the same front to back with only the wheel being different size?

If looking to match height, the closest to the stock overall package is a 225/35/20 and a 225/40/19. Thats going the safer approach and taking the smaller side of the aspect ratio - about 1/2" shorter than stock, but still close enough that its only a couple mph off at highway speed.

The only thing I'd be worried about is offset / backspace. If they're too different from stock, you may have to run a narrower tire to clear (if they fit at all). You can easily measure backspace by placing a straightedge over the back of the rim and measuring from there to the mounting flange of the wheel. The delta from that to the wheel centerline (wheel width / 2) is the offset. You're looking for a number relatively close to stock.


Also, just to double check - they are the correct bolt pattern, right? Having to run adapters pushes things further our changing the effective offset.


Edit - for future reference, I'd suggest posting in the wheels/tires subsection for stuff like this as it isn't really a repair issue.

 

This is what I found out about the wheels


PCD Bolt Pattern (5x114.3 +30 Hub Bore 73mm) (PCD Bolt Pattern (5x120 +22/+30/+37 Hub Bore 72.6mm)

also my apologies for posting on repair issues I’m new to this and don’t really know where exactly to post
