19x8.5 front & 19x10 rears

So I just put on some 19" wheels on my TC...  I have 225/40/19 tires on them...  The back tires have a small nice stretch on them but the fronts look a bit meaty....  I still need to put air ride on my TC but the wheels help get me motivated to do more work on it...  The et/offset is +32 front and +38 rears...  The rims were off a Jaguar...  I would have gone with a 35series front tire but Oahu's roads are pretty bad with potholes and what not....  I've messed up a few sets of rims by hitting them with 35 series tires....  This van is daily driven and I rather worry about my gf curbing them than pothole damage....

And if anyone is wondering what the front plate says......

I scored them for $300...  The bolt pattern played in my favor, because no one wanted to buy them....  I actually don't need to dodge the potholes and I'm surprised the ride is very smooth...  I made it so it's reliable for my gf to drive and my 2yo not to become a bobble head....

These are the tires I used:

Load index is 99. 

1653 lbs @ 51psi

For my SWB XLT Wagon the curb weight is 3,630 lbs + max payload of 1,620 lbs = 5,250 lbs/4 = 1,313 lbs which leaves me 340 lbs of margin on each tire if I was fully loaded.

Those wheels look great Nate! A little more tire stretch then I prefer, but that's all personal taste.

 

I'm putting a set of 19 x 8.5 wheels on my 2016 TC as well shortly. I'll share some pics when it's done. I'll be doing either 235/35R19 or 245/35R19 tires on them.

DapperDan- Your TC looks beautiful with those black wheels and the lowering springs installed as well. I guess I'll be the 3rd guy running a 19" wheel on the 2nd gen TC around these parts as not many seem to go with anything 18"+.

 

Here is the wheel style I chose:
