Oh I thought I put in the wrong info for the oem spec cu2 wheel, but i looked it up all good now. If you are going for 19s, dont get 235/35, get 245/35 atleast. The load rating on 235 is too small (91) and it will leave more wheel gap. 245/35 matches the oem rolling diameter almost exactly. You dont have to get a 98, just make sure the weights match up...ie the load rating on whatever tyre you get can still comfortably support the weight of each corner. You have some room to move as the placard it comes with is inflated to much greater than the actual car weight.

Yes Rudy, if you look @ the calculation its abit weird... The Accord Thai is heavier than Euro, but they only use 94V as the load rate!!! my friend say the same thing as what u sed, he use 88 on his CL9 and nothing bad happened to him or the car... (yet? )

It's not a worry as long as nothing happens, However if your ever in an unfortunate position & your tyres are checked you could be in deep shit if the load rating is below manufactured specs. Therefore you should use tyres with a minimum 98 load rating. You can go up, but you can't come down.

hey buddah, cant seem to find 235/35/19 on 98 load rate mate... I dont think 235/45/19 will fit on 19x8 + CU2 right?

Actually thats not true, the vicroads guideline is misleading, I had a 91 on a 94 V car and a vicroads certified engineer said it was ok after he checked the weights...i had almost 100kg to spare on each corner. Its more about the actual weight rating compared to actual car weight, not simply the number.
I tried google 235/45 and its return almost nothing... but I can find 235/40 cheap everywhere... got quote $225 ea for 235/45 and $175 ea for 235/40.
also, 235/45 is the stock tyre for the Euro Lux (18x8) the only problem is the width (will buldge out by 1 cms ish)
Hi Denot, It appears you were googling 235/45 in 18. I was talking about 19 in tyres. I assume you wanted 19s because in your post on the previous page you mentioned 235/35/19?
