Need Help with Figuring Out Wheels

[Schmidt]

So I brought my car in for an oil change and walked out with 4 new tires and a bent rim. Now I need 4 new rims. I don't know much about wheels and hoping you can help me out.

My new tires were put on the bent stock rims and I would like to continue using those tires. That being said, I do not know the relation between size and clearance regarding the rims, tires, wheel well, brakes, rotors, etc.

2018 AWD GT2.
225/40R19
255/35R19

1. How does tire size relate to the wheel size and do I have to stagger the wheel size? Basically could I put 8.5 on both front and rear with the tires I have and stock set-up? Could I go wider than 8.0/8.5 on both?

2. On Ebay I am seeing listings include the offset. Am I correct in this having something to do with wheel clearance reletive to rotors and calipers?

3. Is there variation or a range in offset or do I have to have the same offset as stock 34/46.5? Does the offset need to be staggered or could I simply buy 4 of the same exact rims?

4. Do I need to consider hub bore size and if I do does it need to be what ever stock is or a range? Why is Hub Bore also listed as "CB"?



Are there other specifications I need to look at or does anything come to mind as advice?

THANKS guys.

3.3TT - Lightest Wheels for GT2 AWD

For my next set of tires i am planning for dws06 continental. Tirerack lists them as 22lbs tire for 245/40-18 size. That will make it around 42lbs per corner. That is impressive indeed. I see that: 225/40R18 - 23 lbs 235/40R18 - 23 lbs 245/40R18 - 22 lbs 255/40R18 - 24 lbs Must be some magic...

What do you still need answered that aren't already addressed in the other two threads, in which you posted the same questions?
