Ford Grunt Member 159 Member For: 21y 2m 20d Location: Newcastle Posted 20/09/05 04:07 AM Share Posted 20/09/05 04:07 AM Hey people,Just wanted to know what is the standard width of the factory 18" rim and how wide people have gone particularly in the front.Already decided what rim being 19s, just need to know if can go 8.5 wide or whether will have to stick to 7.5 wide. Rims are here... http://www.xhpwheels.com/wheels_jet.htmlCheers,Ford Grunt (Ben) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice rims btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibe ute Member 158 Member For: 18y 9m 2d Posted 20/09/05 06:38 AM Share Posted 20/09/05 06:38 AM Hi Ben,I have 19x8.5 on the front & 19x9.5 on the rear with 235/35 & 275/30 tyres. The fronts fit no worries, but the backs occasionally rub on the inside of the wheel arch if you go up a steep driveway on an angle, its fine if your not going too fast.Cheers,Steve.

vibe ute Member 158 Member For: 18y 9m 2d Posted 20/09/05 08:28 AM Share Posted 20/09/05 08:28 AM Thanks Ben,what brand of tyres did you order, when I bought my wheels they had Nankang's on them, they gripped pretty well, but were quite noisy. I traded them on Kumho's which are about $100 per tyre dearer, but are heaps quieter and so far (3000km) have excellent grip. Those 5 spokes will look great in 19's, are you going to lower it? Cheers,Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
