Ford Falcon FG / FG X wheel fitment
FG Falcons commonly run 18 or 19-inch wheels with offsets close to the original XR fitment. Wider wheels are available, but brake packages and saloon versus ute load requirements need separate checks.

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Falcon: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Flush, poke and tucked fitment: measure the whole tyreUnderstand flush, poked and tucked wheels, calculate how width and offset change the look, and check clearance beyond a parked side-on photograph.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.

Wide 18-inch street

- 18 × 9.5 inch, ET35
CSA lists this Hypergram fitment for FG XR models. Clearance depends on tyre width and ride height; check both inner clearance and the arch before lowering.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- Ford's 2010 FG handbook specifies 115–155 Nm for standard and locking wheel nuts. A single torque value is omitted because the published specification is a range.
- The 1/2-inch UNF thread must not be substituted with an M12 metric nut despite conflicting generic fitment listings.
- FPV, Brembo-equipped cars and Sprint variants need a wheel-specific brake clearance check. Their special wheel packages are not included in the stock table.
- Ute wheels must meet the vehicle's axle load requirements; a wheel listed for a saloon is not automatically suitable.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.
