 Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:08 pm Post subject: BA XR Wheels Onto EF Ghia??? |
 |
|
G'day, I can pick up a cheap set of BA XR6 17's - off a BA.
I have heard around that you can put them on E Series, however the setup is a little different.
Can anyone shed a little light on the situation?
Thanks  |

| You need spacers because the mags will sit in too far from the different offset.Been done heaps of times |

ive been running mine with 35mm adapters for over a year with not one problem. they are done up using locktite on the threads. the problems i have heard about seem to be from user having incorrect or loose nuts fitted ( using adapters from skylines etc with the wrong thread- 12x 1.5 and somehow the nuts were mixed up ) or having the rim mounting lips removed from them. floating spacers are illegal in sa . i see no difference in using these to having the correct e series offset rim

legalities, potential safety risk, have a search through the forum its been discussed plenty, and you can get the wheels in the correct offset off ebay, fordforums etc. |

true, but not 5 of them all with good tyres for $200....
I did do a search and had a mixed bag of opinions....
as long as threads/studs and nuts match, and installed properly...there should be no issues |

I would also check if they are legal in your state, if you have a prang your insurance may not cover you.
$200 is very cheap |
