So 20x8.5 +25-30 OFFSET f and 20x10 +40 r with 275 on back and 245 up front. Will this be perfect for fg sedan20x8.5+25 front is perfect.. 20x10+38 with 275-30-20 even at its lowest will clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich mother f*cker!!! I think the 'safe' offset is 18x8.5" +25 and 18x9.5" +35 ....best way for you is to look at your current rims and use online calculator to measure the difference yourself (and gauge where you will be happy with them sitting - cause peoples opinion on 'flush' can range slightly). I use wheel offset calculator on 1010tires.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use wheel offset calculator on 1010tires.com Hahaha, won't be buying them for a while. Tried keeping my options open but always came back to these. Also if I ever happen to sell my XR6, I'll have a nice set of rims for whatevers next. Ok, will have a look on the wheel offset calculator. Thanks for the help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure you can fit 275s easy (and some brand tyres 285s). If you want 285s....go a 10" rim on the rear....my calculator says 285/35/18 can fit on 9.5" rim but 285/30/19 goes with 10" minimum? Safest option if sticking to 19s is 19x8.5+25 and 19x9.5+35 .... but 19x10+40 will have the 1mm extra poke and I think it clears control blade bolts cause 19s. There's alot of options available...and just depends on what sizes each manufacturer makes (use a calculator to figure out the maximum distance you want to move - some like super flush, some like poke, some like a little tucked in).

(245mm x 35% = 85.75mm) I think that's how it works? Then 245 40 will be 98mm....so is there an extra 12mm of space? (have to check on full lock too probably)... I thought I read people were having issues with a 35 profile on a 20" on SSL/SSSL combo? lol .... but maybe someone else on here has attempted....Come back down to 19s if you want a bit more comfort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been adjusting the speedo each time you've changed? Or just guestimating the speed difference lol and pfft staggered 19s ain't that much...its nothing compared to some of your mods I.e. KPM fuel pump Interesting you say lowered is overrated....after whacking 19s in, I'm seriously considering keeping stock height (but not sure how the springs will like the revalved billys lol) the SSL/SSSL springs I have might be too low for daily driving (especially when you drive in areas you don't know, or carparks with heaps speedbumps and slowing everyone behind you lol) ahhh first world problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive checked with my gps and at 110 my gps reads 113 so it aint too bad.Mines a daily and while it looks cool its just not practical, im sick of hitting my exhaust on everything!
