Before I go ahead are there any negative impacts on running a larger rear 9.5" FG sedan....

I currently have the XR50T with the ford grey 245/35/19 which I assume runs a 8.5" rim as standard...I am seriously considering the Avant Garde grey M550 in a 19" rim - 8.5 front / 9.5 rears as I want to keep the same grey factory look. Real drive is to get a rim to fit some later brembos, although after looking at these rims I think they should look great on a winterwhite XR50.

Did you end up getting these good offsets for FG to clear brembo would be +25 front and +35 rear. 8.5 and 9.5

I saw a similar wheel on a car at the airport last month. Although not an avant G wheel I did not get that wow factor.

Was also told a Matt finish on a wheel is harder to keep clean. it's hard to top the 19" gunmetal XR50 wheels although wanting that concave look. I've just seen the staggard 8.5 / 9.5. GT 335 copy wheel on ebay. So still considering,

I ordered the exact same rims for BF. with 6 and 4 brembo. +35 and +40 rear. +40 hit the rear brembo so now got +35 all round.. +40 would be sweet with stock brakes

So for FG probably +25 front +35 rear. We went for 19s 8.5 and 9.5. 255 and 285 rubber
