Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[bamk2f6tornado]

8.5+25 is no way near flush. Practicly stock and will sit inside the guards. A 9.5+38 probably won't fit in the front as it will hit the suspension. A 9.5+10/20 is a better choice or even a 10" on the front. Yes I have those sizes on my b series and the guards are untouched. You have more room both ends on an fg so you could go more aggressive offset than mine no dramas.
On the rear a 10.5+32 will still sit inside the guard as the rear guards on an fg are huge. Rear on an fg I would go a 10.5" and around a +15 will be flush with room for bulk rubber.
No understeer problems at all. One guy on here running 295 on the front no dramas.

Thanks bud, my current front rims are 8.5+38 and I didn't think they sat that far in

 

Possible understeer was something that just crossed my mind with 10.5" rear, plus truetrac, plus the fact the rear track would be about 40mm wider than the front with those sizes and offsets. Hate understeer.

At least go 18x9 front and 18x11 rear. Will not need rolling if you get the right offsets.

You know you want 300+ wide tyres up back.

Also why not roll the front? You can get a fair bit without the paint even looking like cracking.

Hey guys,

 

Looking at getting some 17x9's steelies for the drags and just wondering whether 17x9 +22 will fit an FG sedan with SSSL rear springs (standard brakes)

 

Thanks in advance.

Looking at getting some 7twenty wheels for my ute. I need to know if a 18x10.5 +15 will fit all round or will I have to 9.5 +18 in the front? 

cheers

I'm thinking about Mustang wheels for my white FG XR6T mk1 (replacing the centre caps with black 'Ford' ones).

 

The sizes/offsets are 19x9in (+45 offset) front and 19x9.5in (+52.5) rear.

 

Will this work and look ok? I don't what rims that stick out too far, prefer closer to flush or inside the guards.

 

Are the sizes legal in Vic? (original rims are 245/35-19).

 

Appreciate the feedback!

 

 

 

@wixy if you're still keen on the mustang wheels, the advanti casear in 9.5" wide looks pretty similar but with a 35 offset that should work

Ok wheel geniuses

 

About to place an order for these:

 

 

Anybody see any possible issues?

FG ute, will be 345~350mm HTG all round shortly.

Front tyres will go 245 or 255/35, preferably bridgestone re003 or similar; and 285/30 invo rears.

Most likely 255 front, 245>285 is a bit of a jump I think.

 

Been um-ing and ah-ing for more than 6 months about what to get but keep coming back to these rims, this listing on scumtree confirmed me the other day.

 

Got to wait for around 3 months for them to get made and freighted but that suits me ok.

 

Cheers
