hypnodoc It's All In Your Mind Legacy Donating Member 2,198 Member For: 22y 10m 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/04/11 02:00 PM Posted 23/04/11 02:00 PM I'm thinking of replacing the Factory 19s on the R Spec with some aftermarket 19s. Does anybody know if the BF 2 FPV still had offset wheels. I presume the rims are 19 x 8, what width of wheel and tyre can be acheived to get some wider rubber especially on the back?Cheers

I'd suggest 275/35/19 or 295/30/19...The side wall in a 35 profile gives a little bit more grip...You have a couple of options in semi's/radial with good grip. KU 36 in 285/35/19 or federal RSR... But you may have to pump your guards a little...The next thing is which Brembos do you have? 6/4 or 4/4 or 4/2? Youll need to get something that clears these... Let me know if you want some info on what will fit over em ;-)

If you go 19 x9.5 and +42 to +44 you wont need to roll the guards Edited 23/04/11 02:37 PM by arronm

You can get them staggered with 19x9.5 rears...Good luck finding a +44 through anyone that clears Brembos...Also you can get axis hiros...

My son has vertini Mclaren 20x8.5 +36 and 20x10 +42 with 275 and they are close on the inside and only required slight guard rolling on a BA I tried them on my F6 with 6/4 brembo and they clear.

I agree 19s is the best option if you want performance. Edited 29/04/11 04:40 AM by RHR No need to quote above post. USE FAST REPLY
