im running fr15's on my ute.

5.5 inch front. 6.5 inch rear. Not to say that you couldnt fit wider. But theyre the sizes i found most practical.

i know you didnt ask for opinions but i honestly think you should re consider going for 17's. The 17's on a 1200 look is really hard to pull off. unless you have them sitting under the guards nicely with a really low ride height. otherwise its gonna look like a rollerskate. Feel free to ignore that, but i just had to say it.

Pretty sure these were 7". Good thing about Simmons is that you can get them made to whatever offset you want, makes fitting them a bit more flexible.

It will look sick as dude, the sooner the better!!

if i can fit 7"s with 205s under a 1000 with lipped guards im sure you can fit em on a 1200... actualy if they were spot on offset i wouldnt have had to lip the guards

i agree with ANGE tho, 17s on a 1200 are hard to pull off. At least their Simmons and not chromies...

17s are easy on a 1200, as long as they aren't too tall.

Several club members have reported using 6.5 wheels on front of 1200. The wheel offset is the key. And I think they rolled the fender lip.

See wiki Tire Sizes, feel free to add to it.

take a good look under the rear guards of your sedan, there isnt much room in there

there is no way you could get a sedan to sit like that red ute as the tyre would actually be traveling through a bit of metal thats under there.....so how good would that ute looked raised up 2 or 3 inches
