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!

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI mentioned previously, runnign this low with huge rims, youre gunna have the roughest ride going. But its youre car and you build it how you want. 22's will fit, 35-40 offset, but youll be tucking serious rim and running on the smallest profile tyres so watch even pebbles on the road Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88132-rim-upgrade/page/3/#findComment-1469907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
