Ok guys hopefully some pictures will ignite answers. They arrived today and tyres go on tomorrow.

Questions are 20" . 8.5" fronts +35 0FFSET. Should I run a 10mm spacer and will I need longer threads to do so?

Rears are 10" wide +38 0ffset will have 275/35. How much low can I get overall and will the guards need rolling, neg camber etc

Rears will be about 23mm further out, if you run a 15mm bolt on spacer up front it will sit about 21mm further out to match the rear. 2sl all round and rolled guards in the rear, maybe 3sl rear if rolled and pumped.

^^ Shouldnt have any worries with that mate, may need a slight roll if anything

what is a safe offset when running 9.5 inch rim with 275/30/19 for a fg sedan , im in the stage of waiting for wheels to arrive with +35 offset , have I got it wrong ??

^^ nope there safe offsets

Some pics of my wheels fited up. Needs serious low. And excuse the terrible photoshop lowering job on the last one. A bit of poke on the rears but will get the gaurds rolled before I put springs in. Should look good I think. A bit 4wd atm

the enkeis are nice but sizing is very limited

have you considered work kiwamis? (new cr kai) they do 18x9.5 +30 deep concave face and I think they clear brembos

I know scatterbrain runs 18x9.5 +30 all round and it clears on his BF. check this post:

would be worth asking scatterbrain and nelsonian if he got around to fitting them on the fronts

if the fronts fit, you could run the same size tyre all round and rotate your tyres which is another bonus

I am looking at a set of these in 19. Before I jump in, should I run hub centric rings? or will it be fine without? Any other issues I should be aware of fitting Jap wheels to a falcon?

Most of jap wheels need hub rings but should be fine, my pf01s are going awesome.

As I said I saved 20% off my tyre and wheels weight, ~18.5kgs, car feels more responsive turning and going through corners, also the wider tyres has helped there too.

So FG stock tyres are 245/35/19

Are the following fine on stock rims without rubbing?

• 245/40/19
• 255/35/19
• 255/40/19

If 255/40/19 is fine, I'm guessing it would be slightly more comfortable and slightly better grip from being wider? I plan on getting Nitto Invo's if it matters.

Rubbing will not be an issue.

255/40 will increase your rolling diameter by 32mm and throw your speedo out by 5%.

255/35 will be ok, only 7mm larger.
