Ba is like +35 pretty sure. They look like they fill the guards completely. Thinking a 275 should fit good then.
-
FATT! That thing was sweet dude. Whats the offset on those OM's Ants?
-
Actually now that you say that Thom, that sounds right. Was just going off this??? Did you find that spare a/c compressor?

I know 20's on x series aren't everyone's cup of tea, but i do like the look. I had the 19's on there before and i little bigger would be better imo, Saying that i do like smaller wheels e.g. snowies, convos, weld star pros in 15's, and i like the look with 18's too. I'm gonna keep an eye out over the next few years for some second hand 18" Avant Garde m220's which are a mesh rim, a one peice copy of HRE 501 3 piece wheels which are like 1500 a wheel, i really like the idea of but not sure enough to fork out a couple of grand for a brand new set. I'm starting to see them on beemers a bit which i think are the same stud pattern, offset would be wrong im sure, but with some adapters and at the right price second hand id like to try and find a set to ad to the collection. Theses ones And i really want to track myself down a set of 17" terri chasers like XES has just thrown on his XE, but silver with chrome dress rings and a thin redwalled tyre, a modern take on the old s pac style. Yes i have issues... but i don't think im the only one

Sorry dude just realised your not running gold vertinis, dunno where I got that from...
-
Gold vertinis do look good on yours.
-
I have mate but I prefer the minor profile difference of the Simmons and the stepped lip.
-
The one piece don't come in the gunmetal colour unfortunately only the three piece, which are also three times the price! Nearly.

20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 rear +6 offset, correct for pre au Falcons.
-
Considering these Ridler 645's for the xf, they come in 20x8.5 and 20x10, 0 offset which is 5.5inch back space according to Anthony from VPW. Does anyone know if they will fit? http://www.vpw.com.au/Category/Index/442665

Ahh no worries, thanks mate. Thought i remembered reading you were running 9.5s on the back, must have just imagined that one, i tend to do that...
-
Mate, just trying to order wheels at the moment , just got off the blower with the wheel shop and with 20x8.5s front and 20x9.5s rear he is recommending 235 35s fornt and 255s rear. Just wondering if you thing you would fit a 245 on the front without rubbing as i said i had 19s with 245 35 no probs so thinking a 245 30 20 should fit. And pretty sure you've got 9.5 on the rear yes? what tyre are you are you running on those, i wanna try get a 275 30 in there.
-
sorry just read this and realised you'd already said you weren't sure.
-
What rim offset / tyre Size you running on the rear?
-
Hmmm... I know 20x8.5 with a 245 30 I think will fit on the front with +6 offset, not sure what that means as far as back space goes, cause that's what the new Simmons fr1 20" are for pre au which I think I will be going for since it sounds like these won't fit. And 9.5 on the rear with a 275 tyre. I was running 19x8 on the front previously with a 245 30 I think with ultra low kings and had no issues with clearance of anything, that is a 19 though.
-
Shame... they are a bloody nice looking wheel, and the right price at $1362 landed. 14 week wait though.
-
Thanks mate, that's a definite NO then.
-
Sounds like the stuff i used on the xf
-
Lol, i had the exact same wood grain one in my xf till i replaced it with the exact same one you have in the xh.
-
Did it also come with the ring that goes around the horn buton, that looked proper ricer, chucked that straight out. The plainer the better.
-
They're a nice simple wheel hey.
-
Cmon I thought you where about to offer me 15k for it. Yeah I spose if it's going to someone you know is gonna give it the same love you do then it makes it a bit easier if the time comes.
-
Ha, thanks mate but I doubt I ever will, I get too attached. Really entertaining the idea of find a coupe project, would be a long term one of course, at the moment, and I half sold the idea to the mrs by saying I could maybe sell the xf for half decent coin to help fund the coupe. But really I know I'd just keep both and struggle.
-
One of these, autoteknika I think
-
You'll be fine dude I'm same height and have got after market wheel with 5 speed in the XF and perfectly comfortable.
