Fr19 on au ll xr8 ute

[XR27]

Hi guy's

I have some questions about fr19 simmons wheels.

I'am thinking about putting them on my au ll xr8 ute ( black)

Do you think they look good on au's?
Dose anyone have photos of them on there au?
I was thinking of 8" rims and 245 tyres front
91/2" or 10" with 265 on back, would they fit? The ute is very low.
Do you think polished centers is the go on a black ute or painted silver centers? Don't want to go black centers.

Thanks for your help
Pete.

I have seen them on an AU, don't have pics but it looked good. You can go a 10" on the rear of a ute without hassle (I think).

Personally I would go silver.

[Sox]

I had 8.5" and 9.5" x 19 on my ute.
245/35/19 and 275/30/19.

I'd say 10" will fit, I think someone squeezed 335 or some such thing under a ute.

[raised by monkeys]

Black spokes and polished lips and we may have a problem in my pants
But regardless, i think theyre one of the best aftermarket rims for an AU, especially the ute.

Can fit 10inch with the right offset....

Dose anyone know what offset i need for 10"
Wide rims
Thanks

Hi guys
Getting closer to getting my new rims FR20's for my Au xr8 black ute, i have to decide on what colour for the centers.
I was dead keen on polished centers on a black ute, but i have just seen these rims in shadow Crome, I have put 2 example below, fg ute in full sun and the mustang centers look darker, I think it must be overcast.
what do you guy think????
(i don't want black centers)
Thanks for your advice

Polished are hard to maintain, espescially if they are daily driven. If you don't polish them up they will look shadow chrome in no time. To me they both look like polished centres, just different light angles, If you don't want black get the metallic dark grey they do. Either way they will look awesome.

I'd still go a bright silver centre, not polished but not gunmetal either.

Its a hard call on the offset.

My mate runs 20x10's on his BA ute. Offset if +42, and the rub a little bit on the inside when going up driveways or slants when the diff is tilted.

His guards have been rolled aswell, but only at a 45 degree angle as the utes have a bracket at the top which cannot be rolled all the way without warping of the panel.

Can you still buy Simmons wheels new, I thought they went broke?

Yep!! Tempe tyres in Sydney are making them

[Ilovebundy]

Awesome,I would really like some FR19's for my GT-E

[XR27]

They are doing 20's and 22's

[Ilovebundy]

So no19's :( that sucks! Maybe just go down the path of getting R-spec rims then

[WAR40T]

They are still making FR19's, don't worry! Everyone just tends to fold to 20's.

[BOTTLEDUP]

I don't like them in 20s on an AU, too large IMHO. I dream of a set of FR19s for the TE, just the standard silver painted centres as I think they work with almost any paint colour.

I got excited & tried my FR17s:



But alas...

[blownv8au]

I think Simmons gold looks awesome, i would like some Simmons for my te but a bit rich for me. I've been looking at vertini drift, bbs lm and .mc racing wheels, all gold center. My trouble is finding some to clear rear brembos which is a pain in the ****, but i know the Simmons will clear.

[XR27]

There not cheap!!!
I have been saving for almost 2 years for mine, hope to have them by Xmas.

[EF ECTIV]

either FR20s or billet will be the next set I buy for my turbo... Not cheap but there's
nothing better on falcons...

[beardo]

Sooo are you going to keep the pursuit rims?

[XR27]

Sorry for the late reply!!
Yep I will hang on to the pursuit rims, I think they look fantastic on AU's!!!
Just want to try something different, same rims for 10 years
And I always wanted Simmons
