Viper XR50T Member 61 Member For: 14y 1m 5d Posted 29/03/12 06:51 AM Author Share Posted 29/03/12 06:51 AM 18's with dish = fail... especially on FG...Maybe an XE?nah I reckon it will work. just needs the right width,offset and tyre combo with a bit of low. im aiming for at least 285/35 with 10" rearsI found an old pic of tocchi's FG with GTR rims (18x9 with 235s) and they look alright (Matt, I hope you don't mind me reposting here for illustration purposes)I just dont see the point in running big wheels and skinny tyres. more prone to buckling and tyres cost more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

For example the right 19's can look bigger then the wrong 20's.Not sure if I'd bother with 20's again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been driving on 20's now for a month or 2, doing 800km's a week on the south gippsland and bass highways, and have found them to be fine, and have no different feel to my 19's. You could also conceivably run a 40 or possibly 45 profile tyre on a 19 if you wanted to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
