tburke Member 15 Member For: 10y 4m 9d Gender: Male Posted 04/08/14 01:42 AM Share Posted 04/08/14 01:42 AM Just a general comment on tyres - I've found that the tyres my car came with win points for cheapness.... not so much for traction. Stiletto Blue Streaks (235x40x18, for some reason.) I think they are a new Teflon compound - they don't stick to anything.The good news is that I don't think think they will last long. I'm keen to find the best replacements, tyres that actually grip the road wet or dry, and last a while. So far Michelin or Continental, the classic choice, seem the best. Especially the at the St George Tyre prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear my nankangs haven't changed since I put em on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sfalk Member 4 Member For: 10y 3m 15d Posted 13/08/14 03:32 AM Share Posted 13/08/14 03:32 AM Hi Guys, After some advice on the fitment of the following on to a FG XR8 ute (after a heap of reading on here and on the Ford Forums): Varrstoen 1.1.1 Front18x9.5 +22245/40 18 Rear18x10.5 +22275/35 18 Will these fit without any scrubbing or need for guard rolling? The ute has lowered Pedders leafs, but standard height front (still pretty low with the . I'm opting for 18's as, I'm a bit worried about the ride quality of a 30 series tyre on the back. As posted in this thread already...I go mad for this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIXR7 Member 116 Member For: 14y 6m 1d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 13/08/14 10:27 AM Share Posted 13/08/14 10:27 AM Seems doubtful that a 10.5" +22 would fit the rear without rolling the lip because the rim will stick out 45mm more than the stock 8" wheel.The 9.5 will stick out another 33mm and be only 5mm closer to the front upright. It may work in that case...just? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guards arnt rolled and don't scrape only just fits though about 2mm to fender. And 9.5+22 on the front with 235's without rolling and they have heaps of room. Sit flush with the guard but don't scrape. I think with an fg you will be able to go 295rear and 255 front without to much drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
