Is there much clearance on the inside?

I thought the 10.5 +45 might sit a little too far in. Looking at a set of Vossens...love them

Just found the perfect set of wheels for my FG F6. 20x9 front with +20, +32 or +38 offset options. Rears can be either 20x10 +45 or 20x10.5 with +25 or +45 offset options. Its a sedan with the usual SSL front/SSSL rear combo. What would be the best choice? Would there be any issues clearing the Brembos? From what I've read here 20x9 +32 and 20x10.5 +45 would be OK? Thanks

Had my F6 in for a service today, diff bush is getting changed next week under warranty so they are covered. Done 38000kms

Just had mine done about an hour ago. SSL front and SSSL rear. Ride is a little firmer which is fine, not too harsh though. Much less body roll and it sits very nicely. It will probably drop slightly more once the springs settle. Had it done at Suspension City and they only took about 45 mins!

What kind of ground clearance are you guys getting with the SSL/SSSL combo? Is it still over 10mm?

Option 1 has been written off twice. A mate did a check on it last week. Water damage in 2011 and a collision in 2012. Explains the low kms and possibly the GT wing and bonnet

Went tonight, the boards still weren't fixed. It's like going to a movie and not having sound. Whoever ends up running it really needs to get their sh*t together. On another note, I'm pretty sure I saw three FG's suffer either tailshaft or gearbox failures

Perfect street car...it's hauling ass considering how much weight it has to move

Anyone see the resemblence?

Time for an upgrade, I think its going to look good in the flesh!

Saw a tough looking white FG turbo on Whitehorse Rd(?) today with a fat set of slicks on the back

Thanks for the input! I got to drive a BF Typhoon a few days ago and really liked it but the FG had a much better feel to it in my opinion. Interior is much nicer too, BF was showing its age but still a REALLY nice car that is hard to fault. Hard decision in the end. Anyway I should be buying an FG XR6 Turbo in the next week or so...cant wait!

If I can pick up something like this for about 45k it would be a good buy. New FG + aftermarket wheels and upgraded brakes would push me to around this price anyway http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=9603433&__Qpb=true&Cr=3&__Ns=pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|0||pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294965879%204294954501&silo=1011&__No=15&seot=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=153&__sid=127C16C3A503

Sounds like the general idea is to go for the FG which I was leaning towards anyway! I did notice that the brakes weren't in line with the rest of the car that's one of the main reasons I considered a BF Typhoon. I'd love an FG F6 but I dont want to spend that much. I'd be better off using the money I save towards mods and having a better package overall. Thanks guys, just needed to hear what a few others thought

Thanks guys. I've driven a stock FG XR6T and rated it pretty highly, much much better car than my current VZ SS. I've found a manual one for just under $43000 drive away with leather which is pretty well priced. Tough decision!

Hey guys just looking for some opinions. I'm new to Fords and XR6Ts but planning to change that in the next few weeks. I've narrowed the search down to either an FG XR6T or BF MK11 Typhoon. They are in the same sort of price range. Car will be daily driven, but I'll be doing all the basic mods (intercooler, intake, injectors, tune, exhaust) and will aim for about 350-360rwkw. Been in a mates BA with similar power and loved it...perfect for the street. Has anyone gone from a BF Typhoon to an FG XR6T? Was is a worthy upgrade? Would like to hear real world opinions on which would be a better car as a base for the power I want to achieve. I think both look great but I'd like to know which with be the better overall package (handling, brakes, build quality, ect)?! Steve
