FTO AUSTRALIA

You can borrow my gaurd roller... gotta supply your own lump hammer though... lol

Purchased a new set of wheels, however not going to say what they are just yet, ill let it be a surprise.
also making some changes to my fto but once again going to wait till everything is done before i reveal what it is.

My xxr 527 are for sale if anyone is interested.

If i still had mine, those wheels would be sold in a second [emoji14]

there really nice wheels in my opinion on a fto.
shame you dont have it anymore

new wheels

work vs xx
fronts are 17x9.5 +15

rears are 17x10.5 +15

will get pictures this weekend, wheels are fitted but need to do guard work.

also ditching my dstocks front bar and planning to run a facelift and also most likely run a gpvr spoiler.

will post pictures as i go.

heres what they look like if anyone is curious. (not my wheels though)

also in the process of getting a roadworthy, after i got a defected with it requiring a major i let the rego run out (only 2 months)
should be back on the road again soon, just waiting on parts

How on earth do you get those to fit! haha
My 18X9s barely fit!

id say they only reason they fit is because the Tyre is stretched.
I still need to roll the guard but after that id say there is nothing else that needs to be done.

was waiting for you to say something

Ooh, interested to see how the 9.5 fits up front. (want to try it at the rear too for me? )

What size tyre will you run front/rear?

the 9.5 fit fine, ill do a little video soon so you can see what its like.
and yeh ill put the 9.5 on the rear, but mainly because i want to see how the 10.5 fit up front cause i wanna put deeper lips on the fronts.

also the tyres are
Front
215/45/17
Rear
235/45/17

Bit of stretch that. Why not any wider at the front? Given it's the same profile.

just what they came on when i bought them.
the previous owner wanted stretch all around plus not sure if a wider Tyre would of fit the in the guard. they came off a s15

Ahh, fair enough. Interested to see if it fouls on the front of the bumper at all while turning.

235/45/18 all around on mine, after flaring the rear guards I had no issues there, but the front scrubs a lot.
But being that yours are smaller all over I can't see toooooo many issues...

i don't think i will foul the bar, if it does i will just shave it back.

i have to change the rear tyres as they are worn badly.
considering going with what is on there now 235/45/17 or possibly maybe a 245/35/17 or maybe a 225/35/17 but that scares me abit. (waits for Daniels facepalm)

after flaring my rears i fairly sure like your self i wont have any trouble.
i was going to go with a 18" set of wheels instead of 17", but with the width and offset thought it might be to much of a head ache to make it fit.

Yeah, I kind of wish I went for 17" as It would also allow me to lower the car a little more, but meh.. haha
