Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[EF-MattyB]

Hey guys,

Been through this thread a few times now but just wanted to ask first and double check.

I have a 2010 Fg XR6 Turbo UTE. I am looking at a set of Rota Grids in the following size/offsets:

- Front - 19x9 +20 (245-35-19 ATR's)

- Rear - 19x10 +10 (275-30-19 ATR's) This is the one I am worried about!!!

Will these fit without any guard work?

The car is stock height at the moment but I will be lowering slightly in the future....maybe SSL front and lowering blocks/reset rear.

There are also some others on there (8.5 and 9.5) that I can get custom made to the offsets I want. Im guessing this might be my best bet???

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated as I dont want to hit buy and them not fit within the guards!!!!

Cheers Matt

They will juuuuust fit. So close its not funny, but it would be better to play it safer.

Varstoen 10.5 +35 will do the job.

Got in contact with ROTA directly and had the following response:

Yes they’d be absolutely fine – our most common fitment for FG ute is 9.5 +20 front and 10.5 +15 rear!

We can supply this fitment from AU stock in the GRID style 19x9.5 +20 / 19x10.5 +15.

Just to double check, if a +10 was pushing it, a +15 should be ok?

If so I will be purchasing these next week.

Also, ideal tyre sizes will be 245-35 Front and 275-30 rears? Note I will most probably be using ATR as I have had these before and rate them.

Cheers Matt

Yes those offsets on a ute will work...+15 will look mint on a FG ute

I got 19x10.5 +12 on the rear of my ute, and I had to do some rolling/pumping. id say +15 should sit nice!

Oh.....I really didnt want to have to touch the guards at all. Looks like I should hit him up for a safer offset. Maybe a +20 or +25 in a 10.5"?

Hey Guys,

I know this question would of been asked here and I have spent time going through it, but it can be hard to find the best answer. Have an 09 G6ET and would like to go with 19's just for there grip over 20's (I know there wont be much extra). I still wont rule out 20's if it gets me 20mm extra in the rear

So the wants.

I don't need the deep dish from small offsets but rather the tires fit perfect no rub.

19' or 20'

Fronts 245/255

Largest rears possible I have seen 305 but I was thinking for good fitment 275 or a size larger? (car is getting high end diff bushes and looking into a locker)

I just need the offsets and the tire sizes that they are able to run please!

(sorry to ask a question I know there is an answer somewhere on here)

Only point going 19's over 20's is if you're going to run a higher profile. So 275/35/19 over 275/30/20. You will get more grip that way.

On the front you can go between +30 and +35 in an 8.5" wide wheel safely with a 245 and most likely a 255. Even in 20's

As for the rear if you want 10" wide +40, if 9.5 then you can still go +40 but can go between +35 and +40 and still fit comfortably.

Also you'll get more grip out of a 275/35 than a 305/25

Can you please explain why that would be the case? I assume because the diametre is much smaller than the 275.

Edit: Why would you go a 305/25? Is that what people run when they got 305's? Wouldn't 305/30 be better?

I would say +15 would be enough clearance,

My ute is pretty slammed - just depends on how low you are?
