Smallest Diameter/ Widest Width For Fg Xr6T Sedan?

[Josh Walker]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can recommend to me the smallest diameter but biggest width rims that would fit on the rear of an FG XR6T sedan?

I'm told the smaller the better for cost as ET Streets get a lot more expensive in anything over 16". Standard callipers and rotors both of which I'd prefer remained untouched for now, and the same with the guards.

Preferably something off another model perhaps?

Any help would be much appreciated.

E series 15s fit but mean rolling gaurds And skinny tyre.

Go the 17" ET street, proven Combo and about $600 a pair.

Yeah I'm just looking to do a few runs with virtually standard running gear before I start upgrading. Figure if I start with wheels that won't need replacing for a while then I can save a bit of cash in the long run.

I'll have a shop around on the weekend and see what I can find as far as 17" goes, Cheers.

Does too large a difference in profile front/rear on the FG cause any issues with traction control or the auto's holding gears?

I think it does L/R, but not sure F/R (car can think you're in a corner due to different wheel speed and not shift up a gear etc)

[Josh Walker]

Dunno about traction control, probably does although you wouldn't want it on for a pass or it's defeating the purpose of slicks really.

The ZF box doesn't like variation in L/R on the back, hence it's a good idea to have a same diameter spare to the 4 on the car. Not sure if prolonged use can damage the box though, I've never tried it nor read anywhere that it can.

F/B shouldn't have any affect on the box at all.
