Ill have to check mate its still the same as the tyre place set it. Would look good if you get them to fit. Are you after huge dish?

Work, Volk and other jap manufacturers can do custom offsets, wierd ones like +41 +39 etc. Not too pricey either like 2-3k

Has anyone heard anymore about the Carbonart control blades? Apparently designed so you can an 11" rim into the FG sedans.. I know they are out there, just haven't heard of anyone who has done it

They look great Cor33...!!

Definitely needs to be lowered. The fronts will tuck in when you do. Im running 20x8.5 @ +20. Bit of scrapping on the inner guard plastics.. but otherwise all good.

What size are the rear tyres? Look to me like 275.. ?!?!

I use this calculator it has visual.

I run a bigger sidewall 285/35r19.

Here is with my size vs 285/30r19 10.5 +42

Looking at 5.3mm needed more on the inside.

Will be damn close

Ryhno.. that calculator is taking measurements from the tyre, and we know all tyres arent created equal. What they way classify as 285 may not reflect the size of your 285's

In respects to your BBS's.. I know at one stage..and maybe they still do.. would bring blanks in. No centre bore or stud holes. They would drill to suit.. Maybe theyve machined the back facing of the rim where it boilt to the hub? Effectively bringing the rim closer to your control blade.

Im running 20x10 @+40.. 285/30Invos. Guards rolled by the same guy who did Petes. So my wheels should sit further in by 5mm. My rears still scrap on occassions and from what pete says..his dont.. so go figure ?!?!?

Jimmi it my be that your cradle is off to one side a bit more than mine. Almost all FG cradles are off ranging from 1mm - 5mm in some cases. Shonky work by Ford
