Camden New Member 3 Member For: 8y 16d Posted 19/04/17 09:19 AM Share Posted 19/04/17 09:19 AM Have looked through so many of the wheel threads but cant seem to find a lot of FG ute guys running 18s of similar sizes. I am looking at the Koya SF01 - 18x9 +15 fronts and 18x10 +10 rears As I'm wanting a higher tyre profile to fill the guards out, wondering if anyone knows if a 245/45r18 tyre would fit on the front with these rim specs? If not would a 235/45 be more suitable as it would have more stretch? I know the suspension bolts are close and what not, just not sure how close. Also looking at running a 275/40 tyre on the rear, will +10 offset fit in without any guard work? is there a more suitable option that will fill the guard as much as possible? Any help appreciated!

Maybe 10 +20 rears? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93133-tyre-size-and-offset-help-for-18s-on-fg-ute/#findComment-1636883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't need guard work unless your stupid low. Rears a 285/35 or 295/35 on 18x10+35 would be as flush as you can go without rolling or trimming the guards turned in lip.Speedo will be around 1-1.7% out with those sizes according to the interwebs.

Expand So an 18x9+25 will definitely fit or would a 35 be better for the front of a fg ute Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93133-tyre-size-and-offset-help-for-18s-on-fg-ute/#findComment-1698586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
