Can I Put 19in's On A Bf Turbo

[tur]

Can I put the typhoon 19's on a bf xr6 turbo that has DSC? or will it not work?

Dealer is saying its ok.

Can you also lower the car when its got DSC?

Yes DSC will work, but it will affect the way it works, how I do not know.

DSC needs to be specifically calibrated tot he wheel sizes...Apparently

FPV made a big hoohar over the cost to recalibrate the DCS to the 19" wheels.

So if I was to put 18in typhoon rims on the Xr6 turbo it wouldn't effect the DSC as ford have an 18inch option??

So if I am to buy a xr6 turbo I cant upgrade my wheels to have 19ins? Even aftermarket ones?

I would think that in the event of an accident, you could be in trouble if you go with 19"s.

I was going to put my 18"s on the wifes Kluger, but this has DSC (DAT) and would cause a problem. I checked with Toyota and they said it would throw the system out.

As for putting 18"s on the T, if Ford use the WDS to put the 18" option, it should be fine.

I am no expert in this, but I wonder why FPV/Ford cannot put DSC on my F6 as I only have the 18"s as well.

I might need to speak to FPV about this possibility.

I think you will find that they would need to calibrate the DSC for your braking system.

If you change wheels there is no need to recalibrate the DSC system (assume the rolling diameter is pretty much the same).

If you stiffen the suspension it will effect the DSC calibration a bit.

If you change the braking system (bigger calipers) it will screw it up a lot.

Works on wheel speed sensors - so as long as those 19's have low profile tyres (35 or so profile) you'll be fine

my dealer is putting the 19's from the bf1 gtp on my bf2 xr6t. the car is about 2 weeks away from being delivered. I didnt even think about the dsc so I hope theres no problems.

hey slash can you confirm with your dealer if there will be a problem????

cause I would like 19's typhoon rims on a bf xr6 turbo with DSC.

The DSC system on the vehicles is calibrated to suit the wheel size on each individual one.You can change them and it will effect them but you probably wouldn't notice.If you are driving your vehicle to the point where the system has to intervene to control your vehicle then there are alot of other things that would be taking place that would be drawing your attention(avoiding what you are/were about to hit).The system is mainly calibrated around the vehicles centre of gravity utilizing a Yaw rate sensor.If you change the wheels to a larger diameter rim size then you are probably also changing the profile of the tyre.Therefore there is effectively less flex in the sidewall movement of the tryes therefore effecting the calibration of the DSC.The same applies to lowering the vehicle from standard height.

Hope this makes sense.
