Currently have a set of FPV argent replicas on my car and noticed that the RHR rim has a large crack on the inner edge down to the lip and running in line with the wheel. Getting it repaired on Tuesday but don't want to run around on a repaired rim for too long (not a fan of them) Looking for a new set of rims for my car and I'm wondering if a set of 19X8.5's would fit all round on a BF XR6T without having to roll the guards. For reference, wheels im currently looking at are the stance sc-5ive's or the stance sc-6 which both come in size mentioned above, but I believe the argents are 19X8.0. would that 0.5 make a difference?

From what I've read the lower the number the more they fill out the guards? I was looking at a set of 20's at +25. They would rub the guards hard wouldn't they?

Think its the 8.5 +35 that just rubs at full lock (with 245/35 and SSL or lower springs). But not 100% cause havent experienced first hand. Might have been MattyP who mentioned it?OP. OEM rims are 19x8 +36.5 offset. Go on willtheyfit.com and you can see how much it moves and what suits your level of flushness. Id go 19x8.5 +25 for nearly flushness. Could go anywhere between +10 to +35 depending how tucked you want it. If you're sticking to oem 245s all round. Be a baller and go 19x9.5+22 F&R. Shouldnt need roll...just depends how low it is.

I have 245/35r19s at the moment with ssl's on the front and rear. Havent gotten any guard rub yet but the new rims apparently are +35 offset so, going by what you said, they may rub. Is it an easy job to roll guards these days?

I had to reread your OP, but you're only going 1/2" wider and now you're saying +35, which is only 1.5mm off from the OEM offset. so 19x8.5 +35 with 245/35/19 all round will not scrub....safe as houses as they say

So your speedo will read a little higher (at 100kmh your speedo will say 101.8kmh). If it really concerns you, I beleieve Ford (or a tuner) can recalibrate the computer (PCM - is that what its called?). But if using tuner, cant remember if they need the sct controller (or if hp tuners can do it too?).
