Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[nakooma]

How will 19x9.5 +40 275/35/19 all round go on a FG sedan?

Trying to get fitment as flush as possible. Happy to roll guards but would prefer not to pull them.

The rear will be perfect for a flush fit

Not sure of the front

Too wide on the front with a 275. I'd be going max 9" +25 or +20 if you're feeling brave. Some guys run wider and more aggressive but generally run bulk stretch. Depends what look you're after I guess. Although, nelsonion does have a thread somewhere about running 275's all round for track work.

A +40 offset with a 275 on the front will cause the tyre to rub on the upper control arm.

Love the look of unr33ls GS with the te37 knock offs but trying to go with a size I can rotate.

Sorry, +30 on the offset, not +40

Dont rotate tyres , as then you have to buy 4 at once

19x9.5 +30 will still hit the upper control arm. From factory there's only about 8mm clearance with a 19x8 +36.5 and in comparison a 19x9.5 +30 will sit inward an extra 13mm...and that's before factoring tyre bulge. No chance bud.

I know of one guy who ran a 19x9.5 +25 with a 255 tyre on the front of an FG, but for me this would be too close to the control arm for me to feel comfortable with it. The guy had rolled his guards and it would rub the plastic liners on big bumps.

Is anyone running 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 on FG mkII?

[naddis01]

^^^^^ Running 19x8.5 + 35 on the front and 19x9.5 +42 on the rear.
