wagnman Member 567 Member For: 15y 10m 18d Posted 21/04/11 05:21 AM Share Posted 21/04/11 05:21 AM yEH I RUN 20 X 10 +35 offset rims with 285's on the rear with no probs at all even with 4 full grown blokes on board.I am going for 295's next and then once I get the guards looked at (there is a tiny lip that I think will take a pannel beater to remove properly) I'll go even bigger.With the weight and power of these things you need all the rubber on the road you can get IMHO Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74414-fg-xr6t-rear-wider-than-275s/#findComment-1098676 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything wider and the tyre wont sit right.
