Born and Bred in the RSA Posted 30/06/12 01:14 AM Share Posted 30/06/12 01:14 AM Will a 20 by 9.5 with 35 offset with 285 tyre fit on the back of my FG without olling guards. Thinking about getting dark Argents.I have 20 X 10" +35 with 285's and I had to roll the guards. Reason being the RHR was rubbing slightly. My Cradle is off to one side by 2 or 3 mm.You are better off rolling just to give you a bit of breathing space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born and Bred in the RSA Posted 30/06/12 01:35 AM Share Posted 30/06/12 01:35 AM Cant get pics off my phone to the computer but I measured.Tyre to control arm is 3mm but has been rubbing slightly.Rim to control arm is about 9mm, just less than a centimetre.Mate I cant understand how yours are rubbing. I got plenty of room. I can fit my whole thumb in there. Plenty of room for me to go 10.5". At a push I reckon 11" with the right offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RynoF6 Idiot Member Donating Members 446 Member For: 15y 1m 1d Gender: Male Location: Muswellbrook, NSW Posted 30/06/12 01:51 AM Share Posted 30/06/12 01:51 AM (edited) Bbs 9.5 +40 stamped on them.But I do have a 4% bigger diam than stock size. That control arm isnt straight. It heads towards the outside of the car slightly to where it attaches the body. Mine must only rub when the tyre distorts as it clears when stationary.

From all this I can conclude that if I stay at +35 il be able to get 10.5" and still have a bit of clearance.If I go +40 it will probably rub when the tyre distorts. Plenty to investigate.Just curious Ryno what tyre pressures you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
