FTO AUSTRALIA

KKz... I know this is somewhat getting repetitive.

Wheels size etc. But...

When u guys talk about fittings 17's or 18's, what sorta offsets do u guys have?

Ive rd some forum threads about fitting 17's/18's on FTOs, but what sorta offsets are they?

What would the biggest offset that an FTO would take assuming they are 17's?

Thanx

Here's suome stuff that i've found that might be helpful.

Stud Pattern
5 x 114.3mm
FTO Centre bore
67.1mm
FTO Wheel offsets
These are not 100% accurate, but pretty good guideline.

Width 6.5
Offset +20mm to +50mm

Width 7.0
Offset +25mm to +45mm

Width 7.5
Offset +30mm to +39mm

Width 8.0
Offset +35mm

Standard FTO offset
38mm
Rim & Tyre Sizes
16x6.5" - 205x50R16 **Standard 16" GPX Wheel
17x7" - 205x40R17
17x7.5" - 215x40R17
17x8" - 225x45R17
18x8" - 225x35R18

If you use the tyres as suggested above with your rims then you should not have any trouble with the tyres rubbing in the arches.

is it possible to fit 18" without rubbing? not talking about standard height, tiny lower

How about 17 x 9 with a 25 offset?

:cuebjk:

Presently running a 17x9 +22, and silvergpx was I believe running those exact specs.

Depending on the tire size you go and if you're lowered, you'll want to:
- remove guard liner
- roll all guards
- possibly delicately restructure with a lump hammer some of the inner wheel well at the front

Here's the fit on lowered springs and 225/45 rubber

Rowans ordered some for his car and they came today, I didn't know what offset he'd ordered until the arrived.
He already said he's going to get the arches rolled etc, so sounds like they are ok then?
Should he be worried about the hub centre as it says 73 on the box and should be 67.1 shouldn't it? Does he need spigot rings/hubcentric rings?

As long as the centre bore isn't smaller than I don't think it's really an issue. At least I know the wheels I have on at the moment aren't exact. You can I think get the rings to fill the space though if you're concerned.

Thanks for the info mate.

No worries. I remember looking it up at one stage and people were divided about, but given that most aftermarket wheels people are on aren't exact and we don't see lots of stories about it, it's probably a good indication it's not of utmost concern.

Also, pics of the wheels!

Will get some pics later when he opens the boxes, no tyres on of course they are on order - federal 225's I think.
They are Rota Grid R I think? (i'm not a wheel aficianado) and he's gone for hyper black.

They'll fill it out nicely. Just don't get any cops leaning over the fenders to spot the poke!
