Hi guys

I'm considering to purchase a set of Enkei GTC01 for my FPV GS Ute but confused about offsets and which will fit the best.

http://enkei.com/gtc01.html

Enkei make the rim in the below format

20x 8.5 40+

20x 9.5 38+

20x10 30+

20x10.5 18+

I would like to run 245 Rubber on the front and 285 or 295 on rear.

Does anyone have rims fitted to FG ute in the same combo and info about offsets.

Your comments would be apreciated.

Regards Matt

I think you'll need to run a spacer on the front... You'd want 20x8.5 with +20 or 25 front and 20x10.5 with +18... That's look awesome!

20x8.5 +40 on front, but will want to run a spacer and 20x10 +30 in the rear. The 9.5 +38 will sit way too far inside the guards (~15mm more so that the 10+30).

I think spacers may be illegal/unroadworthy and void insurance, you'd be better off just getting the right offset from the get go imo.

Bad spacers can cause vibrations that will shear your wheel studs also.. Happened on my WRX and a mates SS.. Nothing worse then being out in the middle of nowhere hoping your wheel won't fall off!!

thanks for your comments

To Put spanner in the works the car has 6Pot Brembos on front and may need clearance.

I don't want to run spacers, as I plan on using the car for the odd track day. Plus Spacers are illegal in Vic for road use.

However I have use wheel adaptors with studs in past without any issues.

Can anyone tell me if the sedan and ute are using the same or different offsets when large rims are fitted. ?

I had the thought the ute could go a little larger on the rim size over the sedan.?

Keep in mind my FG is a UTE.!

Depends if you want to go low or not.

A good example I had a look at the other night was mine next to j.d's ute.

Mines 20x10 +40 with 275's and I think his was 19x9.5 +40 with 285's. He can go allot lower then mine as the guards fit over the tyres where as mine are in line with them. Still fark all clearance on both cars but.
