Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[Bellato]

Without 5mm spacers the tyres will rub on the inside.

I didn't think they would? Using Corzza as an example his 20x10 +35 have 7-8mm to control blade. So if they were a 9.5 then that would give an extra 6mm to the control blade so at +45 shouldn't he still have 3mm or so inner clearance??

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm far from a wheel whore lol

What would be the most I could pump those wheels out to without it rubbing or rolling the gaurd once the car is lowered an inch or two?

I have 19 x 275 x 30 with a 42 offset on the rear. The car sits @ 245. Never scrubbed and have bottomed the suspension. Could go 285 before the rears stuck outside the gaurd. Neg camber will fix that.

Fronts are 245 x 19 x 35 with a 35 offset. It sits 5 to 7mm too far in. a 5mm spacer and 255's will be next

All I know is what I have clears 6 pots and fours. It never scrubs. And TBH unless your really prepared to pay decent money. A good 245 tyre on the rear will get traction every time over a crap 275.....But probably cost more :(

There is a fair bit more noise from the 30 over the 35. Probably more to do with the width than profile.

mmm 255's all round

My 20 x 10 rear with a +40 offset takes up 29mm more space on the inside compared to a factory 36.5 offset wheel. This essentially means there is a distance of 10mm between the rim and control blade arm. The tyre I have (285 Nitto) takes approx another 5mm of that space.

Now the 9.5 with a +45 will take up 28mm more space on the inside than a factory 36.5 offset wheel so you will have 11mm from the rim to the control blade arm. Depending on the tyre you fit and it's overall width will depend on how much room you have left.

The other thing to consider is the front offset you are looking at will take up 10mm more room on the inside. Will this fit ok? Will depend on the tyre you choose I think.

There more suited to holdens those offsets, unless you use spacers to bring them out a bit.

Are Spacers legal in all States?

would these fit a FG F6 sedan (standard hight, 4/2 brakes)

20x8.5 Lenso D1R, Offsett 35

20x10 Lenso D1R, Offsett 42

^^^ Fronts yes, rears maybe.. If you put a stretched 265/35 or the like you might get away without scrubbing. Anything more and I'd say the tyre would be scrubbing on the control blade

Can fix that with a small spacer though yeah?

Hey guys, got some new wheels arriving shortly so will be selling my genuine twisty's.

Been searching online to see what a second hand set go for but can't see many around ATM. what is a fair price to advertise them for?

I'm thinking with a light roll, be like your gandmama on the rear. 285 will be flush or dam close to it. Don't think you will stay std height for long.
