So my car isn't any lower than stock and prob will only go little lower in the rear. So 20x8.5 +25-30 OFFSET f and 20x10 +40 r with 275 on back and 245 up front. Will this be perfect for fg sedan

20x8.5+25 front is perfect.. 20x10+38 with 275-30-20 even at its lowest will clear

Hey guys, I was thinking of running some SSR SP1's on my FG XR6T (Ex HWY).

Rich mother f*cker!!!

I think the 'safe' offset is 18x8.5" +25 and 18x9.5" +35 ....best way for you is to look at your current rims and use online calculator to measure the difference yourself (and gauge where you will be happy with them sitting - cause peoples opinion on 'flush' can range slightly). I use wheel offset calculator on 1010tires.com

Hahaha, won't be buying them for a while. Tried keeping my options open but always came back to these. Also if I ever happen to sell my XR6, I'll have a nice set of rims for whatevers next.

Ok, will have a look on the wheel offset calculator.

Thanks for the help guys

hey guys,

wow, sooo much info ha ha. very easy to become distracted and lead off topic

can you guys offer some advice pleaseeeee

I have an fg f6 auto on dark argents and stock ride height and suspension atm... looking to upgrade my rims and get some good rubber under it.

the control blade mod that was mentioned seems an interesting solution for the rear, can anyone point me towards a thread with more info????

keeping to 19 inch. not a daily vehicle

aiming for 255 front rubbed and minimum 275 as I have 440rwkw and no torque management.

can you guys point me in the right direction for offset and width for the front and rears.

thanks in advance

I think I read no real point going 255s on the front (maybe promotes more understeer somehow?) - But I would still do it if wanting 285s in the rear

If you actually do the control blade mod....no point going 275s....you'd have to go 295 or above otherwise whats the point? lol (and in 19s tyre choice will be limited).

Pretty sure you can fit 275s easy (and some brand tyres 285s). If you want 285s....go a 10" rim on the rear....my calculator says 285/35/18 can fit on 9.5" rim but 285/30/19 goes with 10" minimum?

Safest option if sticking to 19s is 19x8.5+25 and 19x9.5+35 .... but 19x10+40 will have the 1mm extra poke and I think it clears control blade bolts cause 19s.

There's alot of options available...and just depends on what sizes each manufacturer makes (use a calculator to figure out the maximum distance you want to move - some like super flush, some like poke, some like a little tucked in).

Woah this thread is in depth

I currently have 245 35 20 on the front and a 275 30 20 on the rear on 8.5 and 9.5 rim.

Will the fronts be able to go to a 245 40 20 and rears to a 275 35 20? or even a 285 35 20?

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

^^ (acts like he hasn't seen this thread before? )

Depends on your HTG (IIRC you have the SSSL/SSSSL combo?)....easiest way is to go out and measure I.e. 245 35 should have sidewall around 86mm? (245mm x 35% = 85.75mm) I think that's how it works? Then 245 40 will be 98mm....so is there an extra 12mm of space? (have to check on full lock too probably)...

I thought I read people were having issues with a 35 profile on a 20" on SSL/SSSL combo? lol .... but maybe someone else on here has attempted....

Come back down to 19s if you want a bit more comfort

[MattyP]

Haha id love to go to staggered 19s just too much $$

Im on SSLs all round and they clear atm but im going back to standard height

Lowered is overrated IMO

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Oh....got you confused with someone else then lol Yeh I think at SSL fronts, it may be touch and go depending on your offsets...but going back up to standard height might make it ok.

Have you been adjusting the speedo each time you've changed? Or just guestimating the speed difference lol and pfft staggered 19s ain't that much...its nothing compared to some of your mods I.e. KPM fuel pump

Interesting you say lowered is overrated....after whacking 19s in, I'm seriously considering keeping stock height (but not sure how the springs will like the revalved billys lol) the SSL/SSSL springs I have might be too low for daily driving (especially when you drive in areas you don't know, or carparks with heaps speedbumps and slowing everyone behind you lol) ahhh first world problems

[MattyP]

Haha I got that on an amazing deal between kpm and myself. otherwise I would have gone a lone 460 lol

I would love a pair of gt wheels even the copies but no one seems to be selling them anymore

Nah just left the speedo alone. Ive checked with my gps and at 110 my gps reads 113 so it aint too bad.

Mines a daily and while it looks cool its just not practical, im sick of hitting my exhaust on everything!
