I’m thinking the same tbh, was going to go 19x8.5 but I’d rather stay closer to the factory offset.

I think you mean 225/40.
8x19 and 8.5x19 are only available with offset 45.
Any disadvantages to that offset? Read that the deviation from stock should be kept within 10%. Has your handling been affected?
Cheers
Nope. Handling is even better cause of the weight (around 4kg less with 8.5x19) of the Motec.
Handling is indeed allot better, you really feel the difference!
Great to know, you may have already said it but are you both running 8.5J or should I go for 8? Worried if I get the whiteline springs it may rub with 8.5’s.
The 8x19 are new. Motec started to produce them a few months ago.
If I had the choice I would go for 8x19 for now. With the 8.5x19 on the stock Pirelli PZero you have a lot of stretch cause the PZero has the width of a 215-225 tire. And if you also want to add springs then it's definitely better to go for 8x19.

Cheers, is yours standard ride height? Looks a bit lower than stock, that or the extra width makes them look more flush. 19x8 is probably a good shout then. Plus the PS4S in that size is £30 less per corner!
I have H&R springs. So lowered 35mm.
The PS4S will be my next tire. But it's a lot of wider than the PZero. The PS4S is like a 245 tire.
So with my 8.5x19, springs and the PS4S it will definitely grind.
My plan was to go with 19x8.5 and PS4S 235/35/19, but only drop the car 20-25mm (whiteline or STA springs).
That should be fine as far as rubbing is concerned right?
No because the problem won’t be the height. It‘s cause of the width. The PS4S is a big/wide tire and 8.5 is 0.5 more than stock.
Normal driving won’t be affected so much I guess. But on the track or driving the car on it‘s limit it will grind 100% (experience of other guys).

No, I mean what i wrote. 235/40 R18
, same circumference as 235/35 R19.Bit „more“ tire to work with. Sadly there‘s no sporty Michelin at that size. PS4 are too sedan-ish. I love the PS2 and PSS for years now, but looks like Goodyear Superport in 235/40.
So the Michelin is more like a 245 size tyre compared to the P zero, hence that is what is going to get it to rub? Damn, I guess the only option then is to go 10/15mm drop with Eibachs.
Thing is I want the 8.5 wheel because I feel like the 8.0 we have now needs a spacer to look flush.
The Michelin 235 is like a 235 should be and measure. The Pirelli is not more than a 215, really! The difference really is about 20mm.
The 18'' look small on this car, imho. I would and will go for 8,5j19R with 245/35 tire. Little more careful on potholes and monitor the pressure so they are 38/35 psi
Love the yellow trim on the bumper, much more subtle than the red, any idea where they can be purchased?Bronze looks great on SG, check out this Fastback N:
Makes me want to just get the bronze for my MG and if I don't like it, I can easily paint them next month
Here is another Bronze on an MG:

This is a 235/35 R19 PS4S on 8x19:
Can you see the difference in treat-width now? Take a picture of our Pirelli in a similar angle to compare. The Michelin is at each side 7-10mm wider, 15-20 in addition.
