Fg Xr6T Rear Wider Than 275's?

[fehlbie]

Just wanting to know if anyone has fitted wider than 275's to the rear of an FG XR6 turbo and what was involved? Something like a 295 or even a 305 rear tyre?

[cjl]

I've got 285's on the back of mine (G6ET) with King SSL's and no other suspension mods with no problems at all (even with 5 in the car....)

All depends on wheel width and offset...

[chook]

I have a 9 inch rim with a 35 off set and 285's

10inch rim will fit no dramas and I reckon a 295 is possible with a slight pump perhaps 305!

I am sure I have heard of guys getting 295's under with no probs

yEH I RUN 20 X 10 +35 offset rims with 285's on the rear with no probs at all even with 4 full grown blokes on board.

I am going for 295's next and then once I get the guards looked at (there is a tiny lip that I think will take a pannel beater to remove properly) I'll go even bigger.

With the weight and power of these things you need all the rubber on the road you can get IMHO

I might try and get some 285's and maybe try out some 295's

[STAINLESS again plz]

whats the fattest rubber you can comfortably fit on a 9" rim?

probably a 265 if its an 18 or 19. Anything wider and the tyre wont sit right.

what model falcon you putting them on , if its FG you probably want a 10 on the rear. 265/30/20 will go nice on a 9 inch rim
