sport Member 62 Member For: 22y 1m 27d Posted 02/12/07 09:57 AM Share Posted 02/12/07 09:57 AM Hi guys,Some f#*!king scumbag stole the spare from my BF Tornado. I swapped my 19" alloy for a steel spare when I first got the car but changed it back when I realised it would not fit over the brembo if ever I has to use it. I've got 2 questions:Does anyone know if there is any steel rim like say a 17" territory wheel or a cheap new alloy 18" that would fit over 4 piston brembos that I could use as a spare and secondly, has anyone come up with a way of securing the spare in a ute if I was to buy an original spare.If you drive a Tornado, maybe have a quick look under your car to see if your spare is still there.Thanks, Sport.

The phoon has a different offset front and rear and I am not sure which one is the same as the Tornado as they were the same front and rear.I used to own a Bob Jane T-mart for 15 years so one of my old contacts who used to deal in OE wheels has a slightly marked new one he is going to work out a price on.I am not sure how to communicate just with you on this forum so tell me how to do that and let me know what you want for your wheel & tyre.In the meantime I have bought an aftermarket spare in 18" but still want the original spare to put away.Thanks,Sport Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/40290-f6-bf-19-wheel-tyre/#findComment-604898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did these scum bags take it??I'd imagine they just winched it down and unhooked the spare, its not hard to do if you have the ford tool. I can't think of anyway of securing the wheel, its a crap design - my spare is in my tray ATM because the cable has twisted inside the winch.

They can't fit the bigger brakes on the rear and as such dont need the offset Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/40290-f6-bf-19-wheel-tyre/#findComment-605121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
