possibly getting some 19inch by 8inch wide rims, for my el xr6, what do i hav to do to make them fit?

major guard rolling. depending on ride height.

standard height

is gaurd rolling something u can just do?

just get a hammer, easy fix. or get them rolled properly, i think most tire shops can do it for you

you can. but you'll probably damage guards and crack paint. unless your a handy backyard panel beater

do i need spacer's or anything like that?

with a 8inch wide rim whats the fattest typre profile u can put on?

if they are pre au you wont need spacer's

who said they wont fit? im running 19x8's now and they dont even come close to touching..thats on superlows aswell..


fronts i went with 235's just to be safe and rears i went 245's but could've easily gone 255 and maybe just 265's ..

ive got 18x8s 235s on the front and 265s on the back on superlows i had scraping issues and had to roll the guards

both lol

thats weird..are they e series offset?

Get front and rear rolled just to be safe

a mate of mine told me that 19's aren't exactly the best option cos supposedly the upper control arm rub's on the tyre. is there any truth to this???

like i said mate, i run proper e series offset 19's without any trouble on super lows..doesn't scrub when turning and doesn't touch any steering components..

i have 18x8's with 245/40's all round the fronts scrape sometimes and we had to remove grease nipples from top ball-joints for clearance

yeah they are e series offset no idea why they were scraping, but then again i dont have low profile tyres and when putting them on it raised the car a fair bit so they were scrubbing up into the guards you should be sweet though worse comes to worse just get it done!

i have a ef xr6 and picked up a set of multi fit chrome wheels for it and they scrape on the top of the wheel as well. there is a ef el falcon on ebay at the moment with 19s so it definitely can be done hey. the wheels i was gonna put on are 17 s and still scrape. i am looking at putting spacers on to suss that out. also does anyone know where to find a set of xr6 front indicators.

yer these rims i was thinking of getting came off of a standard el or ef already so i know they fit just yer seems some ppl need gaurd rolling others dont

get them rolled anyway mine are rolled a bit and still rub - cant hurt!
