turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 24d Gender: Male Posted 05/12/13 08:48 AM Share Posted 05/12/13 08:48 AM I am looking for a set of rims for my White FG G6e. I've ruled out all the ebay rims and anything with the 73mm centre hub cause I reckon alot of these cheap rims are dangerous.I am considering a factory Ford Mustang rim and reckon I can get them to fit.Choice for the rears are (this is easy)19 x 9 with 42mm offset (fit no problem)19 x 9.5 with 45 offset (shim out the rear suspension blade a little and should fit)19 x 10 with either 47.5 or 51mm offset (modify rear suspension blade to make fit)Choice for front19 x 9 with 42mm offset. (need 12mm hubcentric spacer and longer studs)19 x 9 with 42mm offset (get wheel narrowed by 12.5mm, I know of a place overseas that has certification to narrow and widden wheels). This will give a 19 x 8.5 with 30 offsetTHis way I get a factory wheel made to a high standard, with the correct centre hole of 70.5 mm.Look up Ford Racing wheels Mustang and there are a good range of rims to chose from.

Kanga New Member 8 Member For: 6y 3m Posted 25/09/18 09:23 PM Share Posted 25/09/18 09:23 PM Hi guys, I am now more confused ! I thought if a wheel had a 73.1mm centre bore it would fit my FGX. I.e. If I were to put those staggered Mustang wheels on with centre bore of 70.5mm I would have to get the rims centre bore machined to 73.1mm. Am I reading this wrong ?
