fordZ Member 23 Member For: 14y 13d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 27/07/11 11:00 PM Share Posted 27/07/11 11:00 PM Hey guys,I am looking at purchasing a set of 20" wheels for my FG G6E Turbo in the next few days. I have had different wheel companies trying to sell me different profile tyres for the wheels that are going on the car. What do you think is best, 35 profile or 30 profile? I was told that 35 profile might increase the rolling diameter too much therefore rendering it unroadworthy.If you have any pictures of 20's on an FG with 30 or 35 profile, please post them up so I can get an idea, and hopefully other users that might have this dilemma! Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant on a B series as it hits on the upper control arm. The rolling diameter change is negligible.I would go 35 series for comfort and tyre choice.

dre Resident idiot.

Looked stupid though as it made the rims look like 17's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ride quality is good I think for a ute lol.. Tyre shop was trying to get the same rolling diameter front and rear.. Think the best match was a 285 for the rear but did not come in the tyre I got.. It can through your spedo out having different rolling diameters as I found out the hard way lol..

Moose Member 185 Member For: 16y 9m 23d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich, QLD Posted 17/08/11 05:17 AM Share Posted 17/08/11 05:17 AM I own a BF, so im not sure what the standard tyre sizes on the FG are, but if they are 245/40/18 and 245/35/19 then 245/35/20 would be illegal due to rolling diametre increase of too much - so 245/30/20 is legal. It makes more sense when you look at it like this245/40/18245/35/19245/30/20But, if the FG has 245/40/19 standard then you'll be right! 35 series will be more comfortable but you gotta stay legal, I've copped 4 defects for wrong tyres just on my typhoon alone!
