Bf Gt / Typhoon Aftermarket Rims

[sutty]

For those with a BF GT or Typhoon that have non OEM rims, what is the offset on your rims?

Does anyone have rims with the same offset front and back? Has that affected handling at all?

The main reason I ask is because I'm looking for some 18" rims for circuit work.

Are the BA phoon rims the same offset front and rear?

I have the FPV Typhoon 19"s, (scratched one REALLY BAD tonight too, don't talk to me about NOT HAPPY!!!!!)

Anyway, they are different front and back offset wise as they are designed to fit the Brembos at the front.

I have custom made 3-piece rims and don't know what the offsets are, but the backs are very negative and I'd say the fronts are +ve to clear the big brembos.

I had a set of Typhoon 19's on my car, it's quite low and the front right would hit the gaurd coming in and out of driveway's esp if the wheels weren't straight. Front's fit the back and vice versa although I didn't have big brakes.

Phill the new Phoons have the same offset front and back. BF2. If you look at the new car yard at Darra you can see the rear wheels are not out as far as on ours. In this case the fronts and backs have the same offset.

Ours the rears have more offset to the outside of the guard FMCO says this was done just for appearance, and increased handling. The reason for the change was customers complaining about not changing or rotating the tyres.

I got the 18s from EvilF6 for the track fitting some sticky stuff for the FPV day If I cant out run you down the straight then

Thanks mate. I saw that thread and have been tossing up whether to get them.

I picked up something else last night that will do nicely.

How did you ship yours up? Cost?

when I bought my konigs for the ute I told the sales guy I wanted them to be suitable for a sedan aswell, and he suggested 40 offset. they fit the ute PERFECT. never tried on a sedan rear yet.
