The 19" Model A rims I believe are slightly wider than the 21" plus the Stahl comes in five 19" widths including 500R19 and 550R19.
Thanks, M2M. I also think Coker are just covering their backsides however, I think if I go with radials, I will use the 19". Even allowing freight from the US for a set of 19" rims, a wheel will work out cheaper by the time you allow that the 21" tyre is $US313 and the 5.00R19 starts at $US253. (as you know, they are not as common here as the 21")
