I had my fg ute reset 4 inches in the rear (think the leaf basically upside down just sitting there) and ultra low springs in the front. there was no way I would have fit 20's, let alone 22's without them only being a horrible offset. I rekon some 19's or 20's if you want big rims with a good offset will look spot on. if you want 20's, you coouuulllddd possibly do 22's in the rear with an 8.5 or 9 inch rim with the offset high enough to sit them inside the gaurds, but youll be tucking a good 2 inches of rim in the rear! At the end of the day its your car and you build it how you want, just remember alot of the guys on here are all about performance which is why they will push to have smaller rims, wider tyres etc haha. I think big rims can look good, but also remember youll have skinny rubber, potholes are going to be your worst enemy, and my ute with the stock 18's were already getting a little rough being that low. If you're prepared to put up with those things go for it!Yeah its got 20s already but stock height so they look small but once I get the suspension done on Friday I think I'll be happy with it. I've heard the autos can bust the tail shaft if you drop them too much but a few of my friends have theirs lowered and even had to cut bump stops with no issues with the tail shaft.

Also, I'll say it more politely than some others who have been around for longer but most around here feel if you're responding to the post above you in a thread on this forum it's not necessary (and frowned up on by some) to quote the post. But on topic, I reckon do your suspension first and then see how you feel about the 20's...I've never thought to myself "gee, those 20's look tiny on that FG"...plus the ride on 22's would be about as comfortable as inserting a coke bottle into your jap's eye (for a bloke) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know if people would get my reply if I didn't do that. I've had the 20's on for a while now I'd post a pic if I knew how to , I struggled just uploading my profile pic lol. And nice anology lol. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Edited 06/05/14 11:08 PM by jadex510 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you're using Tapatalk, so that's the easiest way to upload photos. Just go into writing a proper reply (not the quick reply) and then click "Attach picture" from the menu icon (three little dots on the top right). Easy as that Might want to disable signatures in Tapatalk though, Dags (Dagabond) will get angry haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I poured oil down my exhaust once and it did that but I wouldn't advice it due to the massive oil cloud I left everywhere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 17d Posted 07/05/14 12:37 AM Share Posted 07/05/14 12:37 AM Ute's with auto too low can do tailshaft bearings20's on a ute don't look big but don't look small either22's will mean paying heaps of $$ for tyres or buy cheap tyres that don't grip for sh*t. It will look good and they'll fit in the rear of the ute but won't be practical. 20's with low works well on these cars and can still run decent tyre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
