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?

cheers

Michael

FPV and Ford did it with option wheels - no reason why you can't!

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!

my ba is on stock springs. most think its lowered anyways. not ground scraping though, but I like the all round package...

Hey guys thought id just revive my thread. 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

I reckon these cars are low enough in our part of the world broke.

The roads up here are a joke. 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?

had to be black. everytime I see the car walking back from shopping or whatever I always think that with the green it needs black wheels. they'll be here next week.
