So generally an offset closer or below 0 has more brake room. This can vary with spoke design and how the rim manufacturer alters offset. Most rims have a large solid hub area from the factory and are machined/drilled to suit the required size. You see this on a few wheel sites were that say custom offsets between say +10 to +40. The offset you pick determines how much they mill off. Hope this makes sense. I'm even confusing myself haha Edited 04/12/15 10:16 AM by bamk2f6tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice the difference going from 18s to my 19" twisites.....so figure you'll notice the same amount going to 20s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would foul on the suspension. One of the other fellas might know if it will fit. If your after the flush stanced look go a +15ish on the front with a little tyre stretch Edited 04/12/15 09:28 PM by bamk2f6tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTR_NITRO_FG Donating Members 3,214 Member For: 11y 5m 15d Gender: Male Location: NOR Perth Posted 05/12/15 03:05 AM Share Posted 05/12/15 03:05 AM It will be pretty close (depends on profile/stretch on the tyres too). This is FG with 18x9.5+20 (so youll have like 7mm space before it hits)... has no tyre on first pic but 2nd has 265/35/18....but I think 245/35/19 will be close. Cant guarantee it wont rub....but should be ok on FG (I read somehow others have fit 18x9.5 +35 and they said no rubbing apparently? Even though that would leave 2mm space from hitting arm). The SSSL part might be bad, cause think tyre tucks more when lowered (my pics are at standard height). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Mike New Member 21 Member For: 9y 5m 12d Gender: Male Posted 05/12/15 05:50 AM Share Posted 05/12/15 05:50 AM 18x9.5 +27 245/45 tyres on a FG ute. I know the rears will fit heaps of room but wondering if anyone has some pics so I can get an idea of how the front will sit/look Online offset calculator puts the outer edge 27mm further out and the inside edge 11mm further in.cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
