whats the widest rim i can run on the FG?
of course rolling guards is a must, but is there anything else i need to allow rims to fit? im looking at 19x8.5" (front) and 19x10" (rear) so has anybody run 10" wide rims on BA/Fs ? also, lowered on superlows im running 295/50/R15s on a 8" wide rim on my EF, so im guessing it should be ok, but i just making sure before i get these rims made

You already have some pretty exy cars for a 21 year old! What model FG did you buy mate? I'm envious. |

frank, i was under the impression it might be the same as a BA/F
bassfreak, the BF F6 is my dads the XR5T is my mums (ive got the EF XR6T, the XG and the TX3T lol) ive ordered the XR8 - black, 6spd manual, with luxury pack i got the XR8 because i wanted a 8, and the 6Ts are too easy to mod to get high power, so i also got the 8 to quell my temptations to mod it for power. haha i work offshore in the oil & gas industry. im a ROV supervisor, meaning i control underwater robots from the surface. lol |

From what i have been told from a wheels place, ba/bf can fit a max of 9.5" on the rears (10" on the utes). Wouldn't have a clue with the fg's though

The wheel size on the rear would be very similar on the FG as a BF, I read that the difference in the rear end is that each wheel is mounted 15mm further out (apparently for looks). The same wheel size with a different offset will probally fit.

I'm looking at fitting some 19x9.5's with 275's on my GT-P. Doesn't require any guard rolling. Can't imagine a 10" being too hard to fit, if you roll the guards, and of course pick the right offset to get them away from the suspension a bit.

frank, haha ill remember that for future lol
yeh ill try that, might be easier to wait for the XR8 to arrive and measure that fourLG, i guess ill wait and see what happens punktured, thanks for that info
matt, ill try my hardest NOT too. ive got a track day on the 29th June, but ill take the EF, lokka + boost = more fun haha colin, interesting, that means the offset would be greater. ill have to keep that in mind, thanks data_mine, thats what i wanna hear 
also, ill be getting tyres stretched onto the rims 245s can be stretched onto 10" rims

For what its worth, on the xr6 there is not much room from wheel & tyre to the actuall upright, 10-15mm or so.

Quote: Matt,
We normally do 8.5 front 9.5 Rear for BF as the safe fitment. 19 x 8.5 = $XXX each incl GST 19 x 9.5 = $XXX Painted centre/Polished outer rim (polished centre +$143 per wheel) Freight to Perth $30 per wheel Cheers Simmons Wheels i guess ill have to play it safe and go 9.5" |
