sport1111 New Member 24 Member For: 12y 3m 25d Posted 25/08/12 10:39 AM Share Posted 25/08/12 10:39 AM I have just ordered my third new FPV F6 ute in vanish blue. I have been through the exercise of seeing if I can get two or the new R-spec 9" wheels for the rear but I think it will be too hard and too expensive.As an alternative I think I might buy a set of "Icon Zest" in crystal black - 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear with 275/35x19 on the rear. Has anyone fitted these wheels yet and if so can you post some pics. I was wondering if the 19x8.5 will clear the Brembos (only 4 piston) I am only going drop the rear about 15mm and the front 10 mm (via shocks) as I need a bit better ground clearance with this one. The rear wheels are 35 offset - will they clear the guards What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sport1111 New Member 24 Member For: 12y 3m 25d Posted 29/08/12 11:58 AM Author Share Posted 29/08/12 11:58 AM Thanks for that feedback. I have now bought the wheels (8.5 for front & 9.5 for rear) and they look freakin awesome (in the box). I have also bought 275/35x19 tyres for the rear and will probably use the existing 245/35x19 for the front. My only thought now is will the tyres look a bit too "streched" width wise. I am not sure what the other tyre size options would be ( maybe 255/35x19 front & 285/3019 rear)What do you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you should have bought 275/30/19 not 35... 35 will probably scrub as the diameter is too big. Even with rolled guards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking there would be heaps of room under the rear guards on a ute. I will swing by the dealer and have a look.Thanks for your comments.
