Simon_h6 Donating Members 56 Member For: 14y 1m 15d Posted 03/07/12 12:39 AM Share Posted 03/07/12 12:39 AM So if Panther GT gets 9 inch rear rims instead of the standard 8 inch rims does this mean legally in Victoria I can put 10 inch rims on my 2010 FG XR6T?From the link below - The width of any replacement rim must not be - more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series.Would Vicroads just say my car is a not a FPV and say this mod is illegal?http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/CC48FC10-4D57-4F04-82E1-3BD72EF88340/0/VSI8.pdf Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80768-gt-panther/page/2/#findComment-1262218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockatansky Member 591 Member For: 15y 12d Gender: Male Posted 03/07/12 10:38 AM Share Posted 03/07/12 10:38 AM Dealers were last week sent a bulletin advising them to bring forward any production orders for GT-E and GT-P models because they will be unavailable while the limited edition GT “Panther” is built in one batch.Regular production of all GT variants and the turbocharged F6 are expected to resume afterwards.

Tim Member 142 Member For: 16y 9m 11d Posted 04/07/12 09:48 AM Share Posted 04/07/12 09:48 AM What will the retuned rear suspension be? Softer springs, less slow speed compression damping, more squat? Will it stop it axle tramping?
