Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[Dillz]

Haven't posted any noob questions for ages so here we go..

Getting 20's for the G Spec and just wondering what would be a better offset, +35 or +45? Keep in mind I know nothing about offsets.

Also do 245's look alright on 8.5's? Nothing worse then a tyre that's too small for a rim.

Oh and no I'm not saying what wheels they are, you'll just have to wait and see..

Dillz I have 245 on the rear of mine they fit well, for me offset +35 I think just pm worm why ask anyone else. Cmon what wheels?

[Dillz]

Yeah FG mate, not sure if there is any difference but I'm hopeless with wheel stuff for example would a +45 make the rears look wider then they are from the side? Would like some FG (counts out worm) feedback of normalish (counts out tocchi) offsets that's all.

[Tocchi]

the 35 will be a lot better, as it's normal falcon offset (+36).. you will find the +45 will rub on the inner uprights / wheel arches on full lock

edit

regarding 245s on a 8.5", it shall be fine.

furtherest away rim, it's a slick, but its a 245/40/R18

in case they stretch differently, here is a normal tyre (on top), a 235/40/R18

Yeah sweet, I just hate that look when the rim sticks out more then the tyre it ruins everything. I really want it to site flush or more tyre.

So 35's all round will be my best bet then?

P.S Your sheds awesome

[Tocchi]

a 245/XX/R20 is ideal in your situation.

yes +35 is alright, my falcon runs 18x8.5 +25 on the front with lots of of clearance, so a 35 will be best for most NORMAL people

[Dillz]

Thanks mate

Might just turn this into a general thread too, so if anyone has any more FG wheel/offset questions go nuts.

[Worm]

Definitely +35!!!

+45 will hit on the inside at the front... And it would look sh*t anyway as it will sit 1 cm further in...

Run a 245/35/20 on an FG as it fits...

[Dillz]

Ahh so plus is in not out? Cheers

[Worm]

Yeah... So bigger + means the further they sit inside of center...
