Anyway, I'm heading to the snow next month and taking the FG. Im wondering how have people gone fitting chains to the utes with factory 19s? May have to remove my spacers but that's not a big deal. Any experience with this would be awesome Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94090-snow-chains-with-19s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you'll have a month to make any adjustments needed Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94090-snow-chains-with-19s/#findComment-1660277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems to be an issue with Falcons, but wasnt sure if that was just the IRS models? Will make a few enquiries.

Brendotec New Member 14 Member For: 11y 8m 17d Gender: Male Posted 14/07/18 02:35 AM Author Share Posted 14/07/18 02:35 AM Update. Popped into Roof Rack City in Adelaide this morning. They did a test fit, got a perfect fit first go. Plenty of clearance for the springs and brakes. Only thing I will do, is remove the 25mm spacers for the trip, so the chains won't rub on the guard when its loaded up. Winner! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94090-snow-chains-with-19s/#findComment-1660328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
