mbjunior99 Member 4,359 Member For: 21y 8m 27d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 15/07/07 07:56 AM Share Posted 15/07/07 07:56 AM Hey guys, we were going to go and have some fun with my dad's ex BF MkII 16" steelies but they wouldn't fit on my Typhoon or my brothers XR6 Turbo. Both are BF's. Did they change something between the BA and BF in the rear suspension?? What size rim do we need to get over them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
