Question about aftermarket wheels

[Kapenagary]

The 19" wheels that are coming with my S85 are 8.5 inches wide. The aftermarket wheels I am looking at are 9" wide. I'm staying with the same tires (Michelin Primacy). Is this 1/2" difference a no no? I've been told that this will work fine but I would like to hear from actual owners their opinion. Thanks.

The original 19" wheels are 8.0 wide, 21" are 8.5, 21" P+ rears are 9.0

A 245/45-19 will fit properly (albeit, the max) on a 9" wide wheel according to the Tire Rack.

btw, I would not stray too far from the factory 40mm offset (I had my 20's cut on a factory spec 40mm ET to completely eliminate any tire to wheel house interference)

you'll be fine with the exception of more grip! I am running 9" in the front and 10" in the rear and it grips and looks so much nicer.

That kind of assumes wider tyres as well, right? Op said he would stay on the same ones...
