About This Ford Falcon FG Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Silver Ford Falcon FG sits on a set of 20-inch Vertini RFS1.7 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Vertini for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Ford Falcon builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Silver exterior with the Vertini RFS1.7 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Vertini RFS1.7 on the Ford Falcon FG
I walked around this Falcon for twenty minutes just to admire how these 20-inch Vertini RFS1.7s sit in the arches. The FG platform is a heavy beast, and these wheels perfectly match that aggressive, muscular stance. We measured the setup at 20x9 up front and 20x10.5 in the rear to get that classic Aussie muscle look.
The hub bore on these Vertinis aligns perfectly with the Falcon’s center bore, so you avoid those annoying vibration issues. We checked the caliper clearance carefully because the factory Brembos on these cars take up a lot of room. Thankfully, the RFS1.7 spokes arc outward enough to clear the calipers without needing sketchy spacers.
We specifically looked at the offset choices here to make sure the tires didn't poke too far past the fenders. Pushing the wheels out to the edge of the guard makes the car look wider and more planted on the tarmac. You get a nice concave profile in the rear that draws your eye straight to the center cap.
The barrel lip depth on the 10.5-inch rear wheel provides a serious visual punch that flat-faced wheels just cannot replicate. It gives the Falcon a rear-biased aesthetic that screams performance. I love how the design stays clean while still looking modern against the older body lines of the FG.
If you run this setup on lowered suspension, watch your inner fender liner clearance. The Falcon rear arches are tight, so a firm shock absorber setup is a must to keep things from scrubbing on big bumps. We didn't see any rubbing on this build, but the owner definitely rolled the rear guards to be safe.
The split-spoke design of the RFS1.7 also keeps the unsprung weight manageable compared to a solid, heavy cast wheel. You want to maintain that snappy acceleration the Falcon is famous for, and these wheels help you keep the momentum. It is a precise fitment that respects the engineering of the chassis while elevating the style.
Everything about this fitment feels intentional and calculated rather than thrown together. The balance between the front track and rear track keeps the handling predictable during spirited cornering. It is exactly how a modified Falcon should sit when it pulls up to the meet.
What We Recommend for Ford Falcon FG Owners
If you own an FG Falcon, listen closely: do not go bigger than 20 inches unless you want a punishing ride. We see guys ruin the suspension geometry by shoving massive wheels on these cars. Stick to 19s or 20s to keep the car usable on the street.
For the offset sweet spot, aim for a +35 to +40 range on the front to keep the steering feel sharp and responsive. If you go too low on the offset, you will destroy your front guards the moment you hit a driveway. We always recommend measuring twice before you order your set.
I strongly suggest a staggered setup if you want that aggressive, track-inspired profile. Putting wider wheels in the back helps put the power down, especially if you have a tune or a blower. Just make sure your rolling diameter remains close to factory specs to keep your speedo accurate.
Don't fall for the trap of extreme tire stretch just to fit an oversized wheel. We prefer a nice, flush sidewall that protects the rim from curb rash and provides a better contact patch. A quality performance tire will make a bigger difference in your lap times than the wheel design itself.
If you find your wheels are sitting too deep, use a high-quality hub-centric spacer instead of a cheap universal one. Never cheap out on your lug nuts or spacers when you are pushing this much torque through the rear end. Keep your hardware as strong as the build itself.
Style and Build Analysis
This silver paint is the perfect canvas for the Vertini RFS1.7 finish. The contrast between the metallic silver body and the sharp, machined lines of the wheels creates a clean, sophisticated vibe. It does not look like a boy-racer build; it looks like a refined performance machine.
I am a huge fan of how the spoke geometry mimics the sharp creases in the Falcon’s bonnet. The design language of the wheel flows right into the car’s natural styling cues. It almost looks like a factory performance package that Ford forgot to release.
When the car is sitting still, the proportions look absolutely spot on. The rear wheels fill the guards with just enough clearance to keep it looking functional. You can tell this owner drives the car hard instead of just keeping it in a garage for photos.
I have seen plenty of Falcons with black wheels, but they often get lost in the shadows. The choice of a brighter finish on these Vertinis brings the whole car to life. It catches the sun as you drive by and highlights the intricate machining of the spoke edges.
Compared to other builds we have featured, this one shows serious restraint. It is easy to go overboard with spoilers and loud colors, but this car relies on good fitment and quality wheels. It stands out by being better, not by being louder.
Why We Love This Build
Seeing this silver Falcon in the sunlight is a total game changer. The way the RFS1.7 wheels catch the glare makes the whole car look like it is moving even when it is parked. It has that perfect, muscular presence that reminds me why the Falcon is a legend of the road.
Everything about this build feels tight, polished, and ready to rip. The wheels pull the body lines together and give the car a sophisticated, custom look that demands respect. You can feel the quality when you walk up to it and see how perfectly the tires tuck under the guards.
This is the kind of build that makes you want to go out and work on your own car tonight. It proves that you do not need to reinvent the wheel to make a statement. Build it right, fit it right, and the car will do all the talking for you. This is absolute perfection on four wheels.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Ford Falcon owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 20-inch wheels fit my Ford Falcon? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Ford Falcon owners run 20-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
