Here's 10's with a 42 offset, so yours will stick out a tiny bit more.

Coil overs would drop it another cm or so so you can see how tight it will be. Nice wheels but.

Hey Guys,

Are 20's really that bad on the street? I wanted 19's of the TSW wheels below, however was told they will not go over my front breaks..

im considering either those or the tsw donnington for my ute. if you get them keen to see pics to see how they would look.

cant find any pics online of anyone running tsw wheels on a falcon.

pretty sure ill end up going with these as the offsets are a bit more suitable and not as agressive

I reckon 18's in 9.5's with say +40 would be close to fouling on a section of the lower suspension arm on the rears (sedan). I could be wrong but it would be close IMO. Go bigger diameter and it actually moves past it. Thoughts?

Why does everyone try to squeeze the biggest tyres they can on their cars. Because for me 20 inch rims that don't provide optimum handling and tyres that rub on the guards aren't COOL.

would they be cool if they didnt rub on the guards?

obviously they dont provide better handling, but either do 19's

I guess its all a matter of how much your willing to compromise.

im willing to go to 20's as long as I can get them with an agressive enough offset and still clear everything

Like them XYZ. I really like the koya Bathursts but 18's only and no centre caps:( Also, looking at the lower suspension again today with a quick measure, I reckon 9.5s in 18s with 275's would rub (on the inside - lower arm) unless you went like +25 or something. So that pretty much rules out staggereds in 18's.

Other than look, I think 19's is the best compromise. Still look nice, still ride nice, handle half decent. Just gotta find some that really grab me. Liked the Vertini Fairlady's but felt the twin spokes don't look 'chunky' enough for our cars.

Reckon I'll take as long to decide on wheels as Dillz takes to get a tune :biggrin:

Nothing could take that long..
