Was going to get some NT05 on tomorrow. Was going with a 275 35 18. I am scared f fitment. Wheel looks pretty flush to gaurd and I don't want to roll them. If I run a ruler on the face of the wheel it doesn't slip under the qtr. I have seen guys run that exact size and offset in a Volk and Enkei wheel. Please let me know what you think ASAP!

Props for going with quality wheels. 2. They will most likely scrub if it's lowered on big bumps. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87343-help-with-tyre-size-fg-work-wheels/#findComment-1451479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are nice and light too. Has SSLs. I can handle the odd scrub up in the wheel arch occasionally, just don't want it scraping on the qtr lip.

They don't even make these in a 20". Car will be seeing some circuit days and an 18 is the best for performance.
