Just to be more specificy tyres 275/40/17 Mabe if you get low profile might help or stiff suspension Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92946-fg-offsets-and-tyre-questions/page/174/#findComment-1356760 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should fit on my lowered FG sedan as the rear guards have already been rolled, but my question is a 20mm difference in stock offset too much? (Currently I have 18 X 9.5 =35 with 285 tyres) My question is not whether or not it will fit but this: Will this offset place too much stress on my rear bearings as these will be my circuit rears with 265 full slicks? Wheels are Ekei RPF01's. __________________Yes it will cause your bearings to wear out faster. I don't think it unsafe though. Just another consumable at the track. Like rotors, pads etc, etc.It's not unknown for guys run big spacers to give a wider track.Given that offset you would still have near on stock clearance from the trailing arm to the rim/tyre ?

Massive improvement on my previous tyres.another good job from Ali I see. Got mine from him also. although thanks to panda eyes I have now chucked some 25mm spacers up front to give the fronts more poke...suits the 10.5 super concave rears nicely will post pics when I get some good ones Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92946-fg-offsets-and-tyre-questions/page/174/#findComment-1357301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
