I think the biggest concern is the price of shoes for the fckers, was enough to deter a tight-arse like me Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69324-g6e-turbo-with-19s/#findComment-1024041 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member 1,008 Member For: 15y 4m 2d Gender: Male Posted 14/07/10 03:55 PM Share Posted 14/07/10 03:55 PM Just sold my factory 19" and got some forged 20s can't notice any difference!!!Also I'm on kings... Car has never has that real soft ride to it since new... More sporty than luxury but then 300+ kw and soggy suspension wouldn't work Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69324-g6e-turbo-with-19s/#findComment-1024588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 15/07/10 02:28 AM Share Posted 15/07/10 02:28 AM Think of the whole picture.If you want to go 19" and still keep the luxury side of the car. Keep all four wheels to 8.5". That way you can run a 35 profile all round for a bit less tire roar and more comfort.Also helps the budget being able to alternate between front to rear and left to right.

Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 9m 26d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 15/07/10 09:20 AM Share Posted 15/07/10 09:20 AM Its hard to get load rated tyres in a 20 that are good....I have nankangs on mine and they are noisy as f*ck!!! But there are not many other options...I would definitely go 19s... The look, the comfort...And staggered looks best on FG... You need big dished rears... They have a massive gap to fill! What colour is the car? Maybe try some superhiros from tempe tyres with kuhmo KU31 on them... $1900 delivered... Not noisy and look tough!
