Just not 100% so I don't want the blame lolNo one can blame you mate, its the owners responsibility to research Thanks for your help!The scrubbing is gone since I rolled the guards so there should be no more rubbing even on a 10.5"Im just looking to go 10.5" and to bring the rim in slightly towards the inside. Iv had a look and it looks like I got penty of room in the rear to clear the arm.I just dont want the rim to stick out any further than it is with the 10" so that's why I was thinking +42 or there abouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born and Bred in the RSA Posted 28/06/12 12:09 AM Share Posted 28/06/12 12:09 AM Hey guys first post here so dont get to cranky, first of all just got my 08 g6e turbo in ego ($25000 woooo) its the best car ive ever owned but obviously at that price is a few issues ie gutter rash on every rim, 3 of the rims has it the whole way around the outside so that has to be changed immediately, so obviously being 21 the first thing im gonna do is put 20s on it,so my question is will they fit with 20 8.5 running 245s on the front with 20 9.5 running 275 on the rears, and is that amount of rubber gonna sit properly on the rim, cheersThat will be fine mate. Remember to check the offsets when you buy rims. The stock offset on the FG's is +35 so for me if you have +35 rears and maybe a +25 fronts that will sit like a beauty!SoFronts 20X8.5" +25Rears 20X9.5" +35Should depending on the rims you buy sit great with 245 and 275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born and Bred in the RSA Posted 28/06/12 07:00 AM Share Posted 28/06/12 07:00 AM It will yes mainly on the outter edge of the arch. Again it will depend on the offset and how low you go.If you go back a page you will see how mine clears. Look at the last two pages on my link.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76341-the-panda-bear-f6/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
