INASNT Member 361 Member For: 18y 4m 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/09/08 06:26 AM Share Posted 01/09/08 06:26 AM (edited) I am looking at getting some 20's for my G6E Turbo and the rims will be 8.5 at the front with 245 wide and 9.5 with 275 wide tyres. The rims will have a 35 offset front and back.I plan on lowering it in a few weeks time and an wondering if I the rears will rub at all once lowered?

Someone with experience here will be along soon no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR XR8 Member 77 Member For: 18y 5m 17d Gender: Male Posted 01/09/08 09:31 AM Share Posted 01/09/08 09:31 AM I run 20s on my fg with 245/35/20 all round and have no trouble at all and the car is lowerd and dosent scrub at all but if you are going to run 275 in the rear I would get the gards rolled just to play it safe .

Doogstar Member 276 Member For: 18y 14d Posted 01/09/08 09:53 AM Share Posted 01/09/08 09:53 AM (edited) I have 19" rims with 9.5" wide 275 on the rear and 8.5" 245 on the front. I had the guards rolled and then I lowered it on Saturday.If you are thinking SSL's on the rear, FORGET IT! I have SL's all round and it's not rubbing at all. 9.5" sticks out wider than the guards. Might be different for a FG.If you want someone to roll your guards, let me know. The guy did a great great job, no cracking and would would never know they have been rolled.Here are some pics...

I ran 275 rears on a 9.5 inch wide fusion rim on my BA with SSL on the bum without an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
