Share Posted 20/09/11 12:38 PM Posted 20/09/11 12:38 PM Share Jimmi with the white FG will be best help here JIMMMMIIIIII !!! hahaSorry guys..just saw this thread.Ok..been doin my head on this.I'm currently on 19x10 +35. 275/30. Bit of stretch on the tyre which helps it just..and I mean just clear the guard by about 2mm. That gives me about 12mm clearance to the control blade on the inside. Oh have to mention I'm on sssl kings20x10 +40 will see run 285 easily with 7mm control blade clearance. The 285's will be pretty much straight up and down in the sidewalk department and give you the clearance you need for the guard. KPM and the like are running 295's requiring control blade modes..Dazed and confused.. Lol Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 20/09/11 02:16 PM Posted 20/09/11 02:16 PM Share Hi Guys,Just reading in October 2011 MOTOR magazine about the FPV "black" They have done some testing at Winton Raceway with the reporter driving and by using a modified Control Blade, stuck 295's on a 19" rim in the back. It didn't state the width of the rim but they had used 19"x8.5" 255/35/19 front and 19"x 9.5" 265/35/19 rear before putting 295's on for the test. The performance parts will be available from FPV soon. Sounds promising.... Link to post Share on other sites

Classic wheelIs it just me or do black wheels look smaller in diameter than they really are ??Black wheels definately look smaller than they are. I ran black on a jeep before with the same effect.

Share Posted 21/09/11 09:03 AM Posted 21/09/11 09:03 AM Share So guys just wondering, if you run say a plus 35 front and plus 38 rear does this mean that the dish on the rim outwords would be bigger or smaller than say a +30f and +35r. I think that sometimes the fronts just don't look like they have enough dish compared to the back, I would like plenty of dish rear and enough front to match. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Share Posted 21/09/11 10:08 AM Posted 21/09/11 10:08 AM Share I think I'm starting to get the hang of this offset thing so I would say if anything both would be bigger? You don't want too much dish on the front or it looks silly plus the less you have on the front the more the back stands out. Just my opinion, could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted 21/09/11 10:24 AM Posted 21/09/11 10:24 AM Share Yeah confusing really, the biggest problem is trying to find a wheel shop that is willing to show you the difference and show you what the wheels will look like on your car. You know what I mean but? you have like a 2.5 to 3 in. rear dish and the fronts are nearly flush or only have an inch, I think it looks abit funny that's all. I know you can't get that much dish on the front but if you have 3 in. on the back then I think 2- 2 1/4 or even 2 1/2 in. dish on the front would look better.Not even sure if this is even possible on the new cars but old xa, xb e.t.c can do it, just looks better IMHO.

Share Posted 21/09/11 10:25 AM (edited) Posted 21/09/11 10:25 AM Share If you draw a line in the centre of the rim(width) +30 means the mounting face is 30mm towards the front(spokes) from that line. 0 offset would mount in the centre of the rim. Then the width comes into play, +30 on 8.5" would have less dish than +30 on 9.5.Front wont usually have the same dish as rear because of the brake size. If you could fit the exact same wheel(size) to both then they will be same.Some wheels you can order a different disk size(curvature of spokes) to fit over various brake packages. Step lip vs reverse lip, reverse can also show more dish. Mine above are step lip, reverse swaps that bump to the back making the rim flat.Type of rim also determines if there is any dish at all Edited 21/09/11 10:33 AM by RynoF6 Link to post Share on other sites
