broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 8m 2d Gender: Male Posted 05/04/12 03:33 AM Share Posted 05/04/12 03:33 AM hey guys, im thinking of put some new shoes on the car now that ive had all the fluids and servicing done. im keen to go 19" as I dont want to sacrifice too much ride quality for sake of big wheels and lowing etc.will it look dumb and 4wd like if I was to put 19s on and leave the suspension as stock? or is the suspension similar in ride height to the FPV range?cheersMichael Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79582-19-wheels-on-stock-springs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it may look "better" if you lower the car a little more, but its not 100% necessary. Every now and again I see a GT or an F6 at stock height with the factory rims and they look really good!

Im real close to pulling the trigger on a set of 19x8.5 wheels. Basically what I need to know is what size tyres are ok to wrap them in? Im thinking 245/35/19? These numbers mean little to me that's all...Cheers Edited 12/04/12 11:45 AM by broke Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79582-19-wheels-on-stock-springs/#findComment-1221724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its no wonder every second person drives a 4WD.As already stated the FPVs that came out with 19s didn't look bad, so go for it mate.What wheels are you thinking of getting?
