Posted 23/09/11 01:16 PM Share Posted 23/09/11 01:16 PM Hi guys,Really chasing any advice for the widest 20" rims and tyres front and rear to fit to my FG XR6T, and what mods were needed, if any. I'm needing to fit new rubber soon so might as well get new rims while I'm at it. FPV have modified the control blade to fit 295/30/19's so does this count for 20"s?Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Rim size, tyre size and offsets that worked.Cheers,Shane Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92946-fg-offsets-and-tyre-questions/page/9/#findComment-1143484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 26/09/11 06:43 AM Share Posted 26/09/11 06:43 AM I've noticed 20" x 10" 285/30/20 with +40 offset seems to work for the rear with no mods. so that's that taken care of.Now the front. How about 20" x 9" with 265/30/20 and +35 or +38 offset? Has anyone fitted something like this on their FG sedan?Noticed that rims could be re-drilled from 5x120 to suit. Is this common? If so then these rims would look factory sleeper but in 20"s.(RynoF6, on 20 September 2011 - 04:52 PM, said:I run 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +40 and fit fine.BBS CH Black redrilled from 5x120) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92946-fg-offsets-and-tyre-questions/page/9/#findComment-1144091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 8m 6d Posted 26/09/11 07:29 AM Share Posted 26/09/11 07:29 AM Im running a 19x9 on the front of the FG. 245/35 Kumho.(340mm hub to wheel centre ride height)Not sure of offset . But looking at my clearances to the strut theres a good half an inch clearance. Moving to 20's is a whole new ball game but definitely doable in 20's.Most avaliable wheels seem to be 8.5 so choice is limited unfortunately May have a chance over the weekend to work out the offset on the fronts if your still interestedCheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92946-fg-offsets-and-tyre-questions/page/9/#findComment-1144097 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish to fit as big as I can and 9"s width is available so I'll see. Of course I could try these 9.5's.... It's just getting the right offsets.

shanerobertson Member 35 Member For: 14y 5m 25d Gender: Male Location: Geraldton W.A. Posted 26/09/11 08:34 AM Share Posted 26/09/11 08:34 AM Rynof6 seems to have the right idea about offsets. But as offset ratios change with the rim width getting the right information is vital to getting the best fit. I'll guess that a good tyre fitter could measure the offsets to get the fit right on. I hope. Might need to do offline research then post it when I can get figures.I'm still keen on finding a 20" version of the standard XR6T rims, like the company that made the 20" versions of the Dark Argents, including the different widths. Has that stock but somethings different look. These would do, once you change the centre cap, but only come in 9" for the Magnum and 9.5" and 10.5" for the BMW Apec E70's. No idea of offsets on them though. But if those fit....
