If they came in a 20", I'd choose them over the 19" but unfortunately they don't. I did see what was supposed to be a 20' set on ebay but the supplier said they don't make them in that size.The rims have 4 variations with the sizes being;19x8.5 5x114.3 ET+3519x8.5 5x120 ET+4519x9.5 5x114.3 ET+3519x9.5 5x120 ET+45I just have a few questions about the rim sizing/tyres and general fitting.1) Am I better getting a staggered set - I.e with wider rears and thinner fronts? Or just 9.5 all around?2) Does anyone know if these will clear 6/4 brembo's?3) What fitment would fit an FG - Are falcons the 114.3?4) Will a staggered fitment rub or require any guard rolling?5) What would be the best tyre size for a staggered fit? I want to go as wide as I can on the rear without rolling guards, running insane camber or any fowling.I have read a few tyre/wheel threads but I'm having a hard time translating it all into my situation.Sorry about the long post guys. Cheers for the help!Oh, and would anyone have a pic of these on a white FG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just 9.5 all around?Staggered will look better and might give you better traction due to having a wider rear tyre. I am not sure if a 9.5" +35 would fit the front, however I doubt it. 2) Does anyone know if these will clear 6/4 brembo's?Ask supplier. 3) What fitment would fit an FG - Are falcons the 114.3?19x8.5 5x114.3 ET+3519x9.5 5x114.3 ET+35 4) Will a staggered fitment rub or require any guard rolling?With the above offset guards will not need to be rolled on an FG. 5) What would be the best tyre size for a staggered fit? I want to go as wide as I can on the rear without rolling guards, running insane camber or any fowling.19x8.5 - 245/35R1919x9.5 - 275/30R19 or 285/30R19 Edited 09/08/13 04:39 PM by XtRmn8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they're a nice looking wheelI do like the staggered look but its not very practical You cant rotate tyres and what size spare would to have.

Can I ask why you have a smaller profile on the rear wheels? Why do you opt for a 30 instead of a 35 like the fronts?That's a really good point as well Angel - I didn't even think about that actually... What do people do for a spare when they have staggered rims?And Steve... Yeah... I was tired hahahahaha I have vented the stock BOV, so I didn't want the pigeons to be lonely...Cheers guys!Dan Edited 10/08/13 02:01 AM by NVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
