Not sure if the other models will receive the same treatment, but I would assume so. Has anyone else heard this? Just wanna know if there is any truth to this or not, as it sounds like BS to me.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 13/02/10 10:58 PM Posted 13/02/10 10:58 PM I doubt they will even do a 20" x 35.I have 19" x 255 x 35 on the front and they only just fit at the top of the control arm. And 275's x 30's on the rear. And they like to aqua plane in heavy rain. 20's with a 35 profile would be great. I really hope they do. But I doubt it.Bloody sales man.
R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Legacy Donating Member 3,968 Member For: 20y 9m 28d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 13/02/10 11:13 PM Posted 13/02/10 11:13 PM If you go to the FPV website and look at all of the images of the cars on the salt flats, they CLEARLY have 20" rims and they're a different design to the B series rims, but yet, they kept the same rims from BF to FG. Check out these pics:Look at the profile of the tyre on the F6 hereDefinitely 20'sSimilar to the argentsMaybe they made a last minute decision to save the rim upgrade to the series 2..?

Once I saw a riced up Accord with 24" rims - I can think of a million better ways to piss away money.
