Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[FIXR7]

G'day folks,

I'm looking at some Enkei GTC-01's in 19". Trouble is they only have 9.5" +22 and +42 in stock or 9" +18 for the front of the car. The 8.5" +22 is out of stock. Now my ute is quite low. Should I wait till there's an 8.5" in stock or go with one of the others? maybe the +42 and space accordingly?

Also is a 10" +22 pushing my luck for the rear without rolling the lip?

Cheers.

On a UTE (FG) 10 +22 should be fine, but maybe one of the ute boys can confirm. As for front the 9 +18 (146mm backspace)will sit 3mm closer to the strut than the 8.5 +22. You should have plenty of room on the inside as stock 8 +36 has a 151mm backspace.

9" +22 will be fairly flush. Should look good. Front that is.

Apologies if already asked.

What's the biggest 18" wheel/tyre I can fit under the rear of an fg sedan with SSL/SSSL spring combo.

Thinking 18x10 or 10.5, want tyres to be at least 285s.

If not possible under stock guards, what can you get under with light guard work?

Again, 18s and lowered.

Thanks

Thanks Lads,

According to this; http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=245&aspect=45&diameter=19&wheelwidth=8&offset=36&width2=245&aspect2=45&diameter2=19&wheelwidth2=9&offset2=20#content

The wheel will stick out 30.7mm further with the 9" +18 wheel and 33.1mm with the 9.5"+22 both with around 5mm further from the upright on the inside.

30mm out seems like a lot? no?

Here you can see the lowness of it....

Looks like the 5mm inset won't be a problemo....My mistake it's actually 5mm further away so...even better!

Looking for some advice from those of you with more knowledge of this than me.

According to section 4.2.2 of VSB14, regarding Wheel Attachment "Modifications to disc brake callipers, hubs and suspension and steering components to enable the fitting of replacement wheels must not be undertaken."

This somewhat, legally, limits my ability to run a 10mm control arm spacer on the rear to fit a 295/30/19 tyre on a 19x10 +45 rim.

Will a 295/30/19 tyre on a 19x10 +40 rim fit in on a lowered FG with rolled guards and no crazy camber (I.e. full contact patch)?

Your car is too clean

It will be fine. Back wont be an issue. Utes have heaps of room. FG front is different to BA BF. The offsets you posted will be fine.

That combination 19 x 10 +40 with 285 fits on BA BF so should fit FG. Maybe stick with 285/30. Can you test fit. I know the rim will fit and be close. Its just how much the tyre bulges.
