That tyre size is WAY too big! It will adjust your gearing making it more sluggish to pull away and accelerate and ruin your fuel economy. Plus they'd look pants in your arches!

The standard size for a T5 is 205/65/16 so if you go for a 19" rim you should be looking at 255/40/19 or something like that.

Use THIS tyre size calculator to determine what tyre sizes will keep as near as possible to the original overall circumference by adjusting tyre width and aspect ratio, then search that tyre size at online tyre suppliers like Tyre Shopper or Camskill.

There are some of us running 255\50\19s. I love the look of them.

245/40/19 is pretty close to the original 16"+standard tyre diameter (no noticeable change to speedo/mileage)

My colleague runs 255/50R19s on his T5. He had to tweak the wheel arch liners to clear them. It certainly looks different! My T5 is approx 100mm lower and I've only fitted 40mm lowering springs.

245/40R19 aren't legal on many T5s, I guess you've got something really light like a T26?

Stone174; the load rating on that tyre is 98 I:

i have RRS 255/50/19's on my T5 T28 only slight catching on the RHS wheel arch liner on full right lock.

I will swap to a 40 profile tyre once ive got some more funds but at the moment the current tyres have a lot of life left in them.

Thing of painting the inserts on the wheels with plasti dip Blue and leave the rest of the wheel silver.

255/35/19 Accellera XL tyre on a 9.5x19

I'm running 255 55 19s on mine (T32). As its currently stock height it doesn't look too daft... plus they came with 4 decent tyres on, so they are staying for the time being. Even on full lock I get no catching or rubbing.
