has anyone fitted Simmons FR-C to a VF with front and rear factory brembo

I know +43 Front and +48 rear will fit with 20 inch 8.5F and 10R

BUT. I would like to increase the offset on the rear to say +50 or greater

If you have fitted them how much clearance from the rear caliper to the wheel spoke is there. Anything greater than 3mm I will increase the +48 to.

Cheers for the help.

Bumping to see if I get an email from watching this thread.

Ready to order theses bad boys in hyper dark.

Hi Arronm I too am looking to purchase some FR C to my 2015 SSV Redline & was interested how you went with your offsets?

Cheers
Paul

The offset has nothing to do with clearing brake calipers, it’s the centre design (spokes) that is critical for their clearance.

The offset determines how the outer and inner rim lips are located in relation to the outer guard and the inner guard and suspension components.

+50 is a conservative offset for a 20x10 rear rim on the VF Commodores and will not be a problem for guard clearance.

From the photos I saw on Google, the centre design of the Simmons FR-C is perfect for big calipers.

The FRC are the only nice looking simmons IMO. post pics when done.

edit:not true I do like all simmons but only in all black to hide the logo

What if I've got Volvo logos in the middle? :D
[OK, admittedly, it's a Volvo … you can't blame the poor FR17's it's not their fault]
