275's on 9's? I don't think so...

Either they'll be 9.5's or they'll be 265's..

Our wheel expert is on the ball

The latest motor mag has a full pic and more details on the panther. It's officially being called the gt R-spec. Same 335kw but with the expected upgraded suspension and tyres designed in collaboration with Shockworks in Melbourne.

Quarter 12.8sec , 0-100 high 4s. It looks like the boss 302 mustangs from the US. Nice!

Reading between the lines there is a hint that 2013 will bring a new model...I expect this to be the Gt Tempest

More details on the gt r-spec....and yep it is 275 on 9 inch rims!

Just wondering is it legal to swap out the 245 on 8 inch rims on the f6 rspec with these 275 on 9 inch once they become available on the aftermarket.?

Yes, and it will now be legal to run up to 10 inch rims as the largest factory rim for the model is 9 inch. The model is the FPV Falcon platform.

Unfortunately, it's less clear whether 10 inch will be legal on XR6T's as they are a different car in the eyes of lawmakers because the manufacturer is different. Similar to the Toyota/Subaru car. Same car underneath but because it's different manufacturers, each had to be tested for compliance and crash testing, etc.

Toyota/Lexus ?

None the less amazing looking car!

Oh dear! ........the same Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres as the 245s.That is disappointing!

Ford must be able to buy these tyres dirt cheap from Dunlop.

I'm far from an expert on these things but most people on here seem to put a larger front sway bar or remove the rear roll bar to get more balance out of the car. But given this new GT will have a bigger rear roll bar, won't that make turn in and understeer worse?? (but the compromise being better grip from the rear end)

Excellent! I thought fpv were hinting last year at a spare parts business were you could buy authorised enhancements like these larger rims. I wonder if that's still on the cards.
