Nice choice of wheel. What colours the G?

I'm running all the same except 245/35 fronts. My rear springs are SSSL kings with rolled guards. I never drove it with out rolling them so I cant really say if they would of touched. But in saying that theres around 10mm clearance. The only place they will touch is where the rear bar meets the rear quarter.. bit of trimming there but nothing major. Up to last week I was running SSSL fronts.. they ended up sagging abit to much for comfort so I swapped my SSL back in. Again no guard rolling needed on the front. Not really recommended for the front as it will distort the guard. But what I did have to do it trim the bar where it meets the guard same as the rear. But in saying that my SSSL springs had settled to 330mm and that's being generous. You'll be running a slightly wider tyre , but I really don't think you'll have any issue.

Hope this clears up any questions

Cheers

Yes that helps a lot. Car is edge in colour. Unfortunately I do not have Photoshop as I would like to see a mock up but I think the black rims will go well and I have a brembo 6/4 set up to go under them. Looks like it will be SSL up front and SSSL in the rear and I will go to the 245/35 up front to be on the safe side. I saw your fit up earlier in this tread and it looks spot on, then looked up TSW rims and found these, light and strong too.Many thanks.

I would go to a 9.5" rim with a 255 up front with a +25 offset.

Edit: corrections

Thanks, unfortunately these are not available with 114.3 stud in a 9 or 9.5 so will go back to 245/35. Cheers

I'm not sure about the front but I'd imagine a 255/30 +20 would be pretty flush and I wouldn't want to go much lower than ssl because my sssl at the front tucks the tyre.

As for the rear you'll definitely fit that but again I wouldn't go too low. sssl would be pushing it (unless you want to run neg camber). And I would definitely get the rear guards pumped and rolled.

Fronts will be near flush and will definitely will get the guards done on the rear. See you when you get back.

Hi guys new to this forum page but I would just like to ask a quick question about rim offset for my 2008 G6ET... I'm looking at purchasing a set if Lenso D1R's.

This particular rim package has 20x8.5 fronts with a 35 offset (65mm Dish) and the rears are 29x10's with a 42 offset (100mm dish). I'm hoping they will fit into the rear end without any guard rolling etc...

Tyre wise will 245/35-R20's for the front and 275/30-R20's for the rears fit fine...

ANY info will be greatly appreciated

Cheers!!

Thanks mate!

I've just had a 75,000km service done to the car and ford replaced a seal of some sort in the rear diff... 3 weeks later my diff was starting to whine like crazy, rung ford up they told me to bring the car in and it turns out the seal they replaced wasn't installed properly and the car had been leaking diff oil for a few weeks. Diff was obviosly rooted so they replaced it free of charge and I also got them to do the diff bushes (free) :) so after all that I'm hoping it will be centred.
