Alot better than the $500 a tyre I was looking at before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car has only just done 60,000 and I have 7-8 sets of tyres, and 5 sets of rims on it over that time... 1. Factory 18's - sold to change look2. Speedy Envi's 18" - sold as they didnt fit my 4 spot brembo's3. Simmons FR19" - sold as they were too soft for where/how I drive4. Axis Hiro 19" - stolen :(5. Axis Hiro 19" - current and they fit over my 6 spot bremdo's which are a little larger than the FPV ones.X. Also a set of Stock 17" with Mickey T's for fun.Of course the shop I uses ships all over and a few good words they will probably look after ya EZ, drop me a PM for their details if your interested.RegardsM G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at the Hiros for my F6 and have been told that 19x8.5 (+35 offset) is all I can fit on the back (standard BA/BF is +36 I understand). I was looking at 19x9.5 Hiros for the rear, but it's only available in +25 & +55 offset, which I'm told aint gonna fit.I've got the FPV 6/4 pot brake setup.Not that it matters, I can't drive the car for another 5 (possibly more) months anyway.Meh.

Master G Donating Members 511 Member For: 21y 13d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 29/12/07 12:10 AM Share Posted 29/12/07 12:10 AM Senna, no problem at all. I bought the car from Dean Jones who was Dean M's boss at the time, I know the crew at Smithfield pretty well. They were the ones that actually sourced the 6 spots I am using from a Porsche Cup race car. Savage, not sure the offset. But from what I know when I bought them they were the standard fitting for BA/BF falcons, I can give you the Tyre place's details if you like, drop me a PM. On the rear I am running 19*9.5 we tried the 10.5 but no go without some spacers.RegardsM G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
