POMME2 New Member 21 Member For: 13y 8m 12d Posted 27/09/11 08:18 AM Share Posted 27/09/11 08:18 AM Does anyone know what the widest tyre you can put on an XR6T? Looking at getting some wheels, so need to know max width so I can look at my options. Width in Rim size or Tyre width is fine. Conversion at bottom...http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual-tyre-size-calculator Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77105-widest-tyre/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyre would be 295/30/19. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77105-widest-tyre/#findComment-1144469 Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.d has them on his FG ute with no gaurd work though.Il'd go with 275s on a 9.5" for no scrubbing.

Ran a 10mm spacer and they just scrubbed.They are also for sale lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77105-widest-tyre/#findComment-1144541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 28/09/11 06:22 PM Share Posted 28/09/11 06:22 PM What diameter rims are you looking at? 18" 19" or 20" ?For the BA/BF it seems that normal is 8" for front width and 245/30's (not 35) are all you can do for the front without hitting ball joints. Any wider and your pumping guards and rolling lip and camber adjustment.Rear is up for debate depending on diameter and offset. Normal is 9.5" max and 265/30, maybe 275/30 without modifying. Any wider and your pumping guards and rolling lip and camber adjustment.So how wide is wide enough? Heaps of guys on this site have 19" for BA/BF's, a few with 10" or even 10.5" ( tocchi ).Definately will get some good advice on here.Hope this helps.

POMME2 New Member 21 Member For: 13y 8m 12d Posted 29/09/11 06:50 AM Author Share Posted 29/09/11 06:50 AM Well I have a choice for the rears. I wanted wider for grip,.18x8.5 Mid/High (not sure what mid high refers to)or18x10 , I need to check the offsets, im going to the shop tomorrow should be able to get the specs there...I want 18x10 on back from grip etc, hoping it will fit...

The centre of the inner wheel will touch suspension components.20 x 10 will fit.18 x 9.5 will fit (with 265-275 tyre) ranging from 30 to 38 offset depending on lowering and rear negative camber.The tyre compound is more important anyway. Neova ado8, bridgestone re11 are the best best street semi's going in my opinion for all round ability.

Kroozin Menace Donating Members 1,990 Member For: 14y 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 11/05/13 01:19 PM Share Posted 11/05/13 01:19 PM ^^ my rear neg. camber is -1deg and sits around 323-330mm static depending on fuel and crap in the boot..What offset with the 9.5's would suit?Looking to run a 265 if possible and the guards aren't rolled... but can roll'em if 275's will work obviously that would mean more choice with offset too..?
