Hi,

I'm going to buy a 255/40/19 size tire and wheel set, but I'm stuck on the wheel. Look at these two pictures. This Sparco wheels are the same size with 19x8 front and rear. On the other hand, O.Z. wheels are 19x8.5 front and 19x12 rear, which are different in size. Does that mean I have to bring the front and rear tire sizes differently? Can't all four O.Z. wheels be 19 x 8.5?

Hi, there were few post here about it. In the past I thought to have a wider rear rims but decided to have the same size (front & rear) 19x8.5 ET42
Stock one is 19x8 ET57. You have to remember that we have AWD car
Good luck with yopur choice.

OZ looks awesome and for sure there are much lighter I suppose

@Blaek,

maybe it could be helpful:

Maximum permissible wheels width and ET?

Hi Blaek. If you look at the details for the top wheel, those are sized for a Porsche (does not state which model). That is why it specifies a 12" width rear wheel.
You need to do a search for those wheels properly spec'd for a Fusion Sport, in order to see if they are even compatible. It may be available in a Fusion Sport specification, but you will need to do the correct search for that.

Off the top of my head, I would think it is rather doubtful that a wheel that fits a Porsche would have the correct lug spacing, offset, centerbore etc. etc. for a Fusion Sport.

As mentioned above, there is far more to buying a properly sized wheel than diameter and width. You will need to be sure they are the correct lug spacing, centerbore, offset etc for a Fusion Sport.

Let us know how you make out and good luck.

For a 255 40 19 tire you want a 9 inch wide wheel, the 8.5 will work, but it might pull the side walls in a bit at the rim.

In addition to what has been stated, on an AWD vehicle you want the revs per mile at each wheel to be the same. PTU will be much happier.

Oh right.. I recently started to study in wheels and tires. I didn't think that 12 inches are too wide for us. Thank you!

You were right. I didn't think about it. Thank you!

It appears that you were using the Tire Rack for your search. If you first put in the vehicle, it will pull all rims that will fit.
