Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 18y 21d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 29/03/12 07:16 AM Share Posted 29/03/12 07:16 AM Cause it doesn't look like this..Having said that, I think wheel choice makes more of an impact then size. For example the right 19's can look bigger then the wrong 20's.Not sure if I'd bother with 20's again though.

TRA1NR Pitlane Member Donating Members 2,886 Member For: 18y 1m 15d Gender: Male Location: Pakenham, Victoria Posted 29/03/12 07:53 AM Share Posted 29/03/12 07:53 AM Where do you live viper? I have been driving on 20's now for a month or 2, doing 800km's a week on the south gippsland and bass highways, and have found them to be fine, and have no different feel to my 19's. You could also conceivably run a 40 or possibly 45 profile tyre on a 19 if you wanted to. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79415-need-pics-of-fg-with-18s/#findComment-1216246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
