I have to admit that wheel sizes confuse me, so I need some advice please.
Would a RRS set of wheels and tyres be suitable for my 2009 D3?
They are 235/65r19 with 44.5 offset!
Thanks

Assuming they are off a recent RRS , no issue, but why move to a 19" rim.  Once committed, you are stuck with a smaller range of available rubber, at a greater cost ?  ( and if you are into serious off roading, 19" are most definitely not as durable off road as 17" )

Thanks. I have 18" now and will keep them, but I have the opportunity to get a brand new set of wheels and tyres for less then the price of replacement tyres, so it seems like a very good deal.
I mainly do beach driving so not very "serious" and I was more concerned about the offset and weight, so if they are suitable I may as well get them, and change to the 18" when going fishing.

235s are very narrow compared to regular Sport & D3/4 tyres - are you sure they're 235s? If so, I doubt they're from a Sport.

They are definitely 235s as I have photos, and they are reportedly from a 2014 sport, but I haven't seen it yet. I will check first. Thanks for pointing that out.
