Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[Bellato]

Never heard of anyone having a problem. Just go for a drive with a gps to work out how much your speedo is out just so you know

Is the speed sensor on the front or rear wheels?

I am running 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rears, checked speed with a phone GPS speedometer app today and with cruise set to 100km/h the GPS was reading 103km/h.

One thing I have notice tough after swapping to 20's from factory 19's is that my instant fuel consumption at 100km/h has increased about 0.6-0.8L/100km and the average consumption has gone up close to 1L/100km in about 1000kms under same driving conditions. The new wheels and tyres are lighter then the factory wheels, so surprised that it would have made that much difference to fuel consumption.

Not sure where the speed sensor is but I wouldn't be using the trip computer as being accurate, especially if you have much lighter wheels

Just bought some rims and tyres off a dude, they are 18" but realised the tyres are 265/35/18

Is this going to change my speedo or is this the right size cos the tyre is wider therefore profile of 35 is closer to stock than a 40 profile would be?

Diameter should be a little smaller (10mm) so Speedo will read 1 or 2km more than actual. How wide are the wheels?

Got my wheels, fit all good but very close to control arm I think it is, maybe 5mm between the edge of the tyre and control arm.

Now if I go from the stock springs to SSL kings will it hit that arm?

If you mean at the rear, not if you have the camber corrected at the same time. If not corrected then it will be close as the wheel will lean in a little.
