naddis01 Member 49 Member For: 19y 5m 29d Gender: Male Posted 06/12/16 11:24 AM Posted 06/12/16 11:24 AM Was looking at 275/35/19 for the rear and was looking at a 245/40/19 for the front to match the diameter of the 275. I don't really want to go to a 295-305 simply because I would need the control arm mod wouldn't I? and a 265 wouldn't match a 275 rear. I agree though, I'm not a fan of the stretch look. I was looking at the 19x9.5 for the front because the wheels I am considering are concave in the 9.5 and flat in the 8.5. So simply considering the 19x9.5 for the concave look. Can you get a 275/35/19 (not 275/30/19) on the front with stock suspension and no rubbing? And if so, what offset? +28?
BigLTrain New Member 3 Member For: 10y 2m Posted 11/12/16 09:04 AM Posted 11/12/16 09:04 AM I am considering having a custom set of Steel wheels made in 17" because my fg ute is used for work everyday and I am worried the 19"s I have with the low profile tyres aren't going to handle lugging all my gear around. I have read through this thread but am still after some advice. I am thinking 9" wide on the front and 10" on the rears. I would also like the rears to have a little bit of dish on the rear, even though they are only steelies. If I can choose the offset what would be suitable to fill the guards without having clearance issues, particularly on the inside. My ute is standard height with an extra leaf in the rears for carrying gear, I have a set of draws and canopy so the weight starts to add up pretty quickly.

I dont get the rage with steelies. Yeh they are cheap but ever held one in your hands. Fkn heavy as....I would say at least 16kgs or more. Would love to see how it impacts steering and sh*t....I sold mine before even bothering to put them on.

Probably doable with stock height. +28 will be very close, but I was willing to give +30 a chance in 9.5 so I rekon should be fine. Will still poke a tiny bit out of gaurds...not really any offset in 9.5 that's safe to clear UCA whilst still being tucked into gaurds....unless you go low low and cambered af.

I ran 19x9.5 +27 on my BF ute, full of tools, towing a trailer carrying glass everyday with no issues steelies will look like sh*t, leave them for yellow BT1 VL turbo drivers 1
BAXRTUTE Legacy Donating Member 2,639 Member For: 10y 5m 6d Posted 11/12/16 10:05 PM Posted 11/12/16 10:05 PM Exactly Tommo.... know a vl running that exact combo! Im a floor and wall tiler and ive got heavy leafs in mine and load 30 20kg bags of glue in it at least once a week on 20s with 295s up back not a single issue "touch wood" Low profile with the right load rating is all id recommend as I did above. 1
BigLTrain New Member 3 Member For: 10y 2m Posted 12/12/16 10:26 AM Posted 12/12/16 10:26 AM Yeah OK it makes me feel a bit better knowing others have done it before. it would be a shame to ruin a nice ute with Steel wheels, I will run what I have for now and see how I go. I wouldn't be carrying as much weight as your glue. Thanks for putting my mind at ease. 1
