Admins, I've probably put this in the wrong forum section - can I move it to the Wheels section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii20 New Member 1 Member For: 4y 5m 21d Posted 02/07/20 08:57 AM Share Posted 02/07/20 08:57 AM Hey everyone was looking for some help / advice. Looking at purchasing a set of Genuine Vertini Drift wheels. I had purchased a set of aftermarket rims previously which had the same stud pattern as my ute but the centre bore didn’t fit and I had a break wobble. From what I understand these will fit my car with no problems or rubbings but I came here for advice and clarification. Currently my 2013 FG Ute runs stock 19inch rims. The rims I’m looking at buying are 20x8.5 and 20x10, correct stud pattern and they’re coming off a Sedan Falcon, there should be no reason I can’t run these on my Ute is there? Shouldn’t be any difference in fittings? Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ute is a BF but I think the FG's have even more room at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly confident that the setup will fit but want to be 100% sure. Front: 19 x 8.75 +15 Rear: 19 x 9.75 +15 I was originally going to get +38 offset on the rears but I thought +15 might look a bit more flush with the guard. Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will help anyone wanting to know how wide they can go on the rear without running into guard clearance issues. I had my wheels custom made as a one off set, just like Jumbuck did. I was trying to achieve maximum possible width in tyre contact for my street setup. Rears pictured, are 19x10.5 +52 offset Tyres are: Front 245 35 19 Rear 295 30 19 Measuring across the tyre the rear is 315mm. I wouldn't advise going any wider than this. There are a few modifications to be made to accomodate this setup.. Superpro control arms (plus the addition of 2mm shims to add a fraction more clearance) Low profile bolt in upper shock mount Shortened shocks. NO guard work required. Can just make out the shims between arms and hub The shortened shocks lift the wheel slightly at full droop to avoid contacting the chassis I measured 6mm clearance to guard edit: the car is a 2015 FGX XR8. The shocks were shortened by 10mm The upper shock mount was modified by notching a square into the bolt hole to allow an internal locking bolt and the fixed nut was ground off the back to add a nylock nut for tightening Thanks again to Jumbuck 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triplex.r8 New Member 10 Member For: 5y 3m 24d Posted 04/08/20 01:41 AM Share Posted 04/08/20 01:41 AM Yes, was quite costly. But Im hoping it will be worth it once I achieve the power levels Im chasing. The tyre/grip levels on these are very under-engineered for the stock power levels, not to mention 500rwkw... And no, no guard rolling required whatsoever. Even at full compression there is plenty of clearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you'd need to do gaurd work with a setup like this if you lowered your car enough to need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
