Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

Who thinks I can fit 275/35 18 all round on my FG sedan?

Wheels are SSR Type C 18 X 9.5" with +22 0ffset.

Here are some pics with my current tyres, some 2nd hand Michelin slicks. 250 front, 270 rear.

Tyres will be Hankook Z214 Grooved slicks. On their way as we speak from tire rack.

Rear guards have been rolled and with 1.5 deg of neg camber, rears should just tuck under the guards.

In theory, I am hoping the fronts will be fine.

I have tested a 18 X 9.5 +30 with a 265 on front and it seemed to clear in the carpark, but with 1 deg of neg camber, bot the 3.5deg I run at the circuit.

As stock FRONT offset is +36 with a 245 tyre (on 8" rim), a 275 will only poke out 15mm further in but due to offset (36 vs 22), should be only 1mm difference.

Does this make sense?

Hoping I don't need a 3 or 5mm spacer and longer studs.

Won't need longer studs for wheel spacers. I currently have 5mm up front and plenty of wheel stud left, but I would want custom spacers if you're going to use them on a track, normal slip ons wouldn't be ideal

hard to have a hucentric with 5mm as theres not enough meat for the hub extension to the wheel..

I would really like to confirm it will fit before purchasing, Gaurds are getting rolled this week, wont be getting pumped unless I absolutely have to, I quite like the stretch look of the 275 on the 11 as it's the look im going for. These dont come out until the end of may so I still have plenty of time to get it sorted and make sure it's what I want. Can anyone help with the fitment on the inner gaurd for the rears?

Use spacers to test it. Even use nuts/ washers.

Don't trust me on the offset, was just a suggestion. Try and test fit dude.

Yea I would love to test fit them, but again without travelling 5+ hours no where here will supply wheels in that offset or size locally..

This is the look I would be aiming for, much preferring it over the 2.2.2

Much classier than varrstoens. These are those wheels that look too small to be 19s, this angle is good it shows the second lip I was talking about. Tough as

Be great if you could get that much rim fletty. That's the trouble with most of these wheels, they're made with the centre so far out there's nowhere left to go.

Jimmi I found these same profile as what you getting. Sexy mate!! On white and sedan......... PORN!IMG_0297.jpgIMG_0298.jpgIMG_0299.jpg

Does anyone know what offset this guy is running

Front 20x8.5+20???

Rear 20x10+40 or +20??

I've read 20x10+40 will fill the rear of a sedan but don't think will have the same effect on the ute so I assume +20 would be a better fit.

Thanks
