roadster Member 97 Member For: 15y 9m 16d Gender: Male Location: Werribee Posted 29/01/11 08:41 AM Share Posted 29/01/11 08:41 AM About to buy an fg xr6t and I have the option of 20" fpv copies which look great or the 19" luxury pack wheels put back on. Love the look of the 20's but will it give warranty issues. Any advice or experiances would be greatly appreciated.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels themselves won't be covered (of course!) As long as the tyres you choose are of the same or better spec than the oem I can't see any problem ( other than the negative performance from fitting 20's but if it looks good it's a small price to pay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 3m 26d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 29/01/11 12:02 PM Share Posted 29/01/11 12:02 PM Tyres will be sh*t if 20's... And if staggered (ie. 20x9.5) will be illegal in all states.OEM wheels better made. Have more options on Tyres... Come with reasonable Tyres... Ride better... And look sweet.I'd go OEM... Can always change later and will get better $$$ for 19 stockies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard is 19x8... 20x9.5 is more than 1 inch... Effects the track of the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 18y 11m 18d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 29/01/11 11:45 PM Share Posted 29/01/11 11:45 PM The 20" FPV copies are only 8" wide so you won't have any issues. And they make good tyres for 20's now worm, I've got Maxxis MA-Z1's. I used to run them on the old phoon and they held up 360 quite well. The only thing is your speedo will be out. Mine reads 96kph at 100kph so watch yourself with speed cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effects the track of the car...that's what I've read too. was looking at the MA-Z1's (legal profile and load rated) but was told it's getting harder and harder to find a place that stocks them, is that true anyone?
