twisty1 Member 65 Member For: 16y 9m 28d Posted 02/05/09 11:51 PM Share Posted 02/05/09 11:51 PM Hey guys.Here's my problem, I have a set of BF XR wheels and I went to put them on my BA Falcon yesterday and they don't fit on the front..The back two fitted perfectly but the front two don't fit, the hub on my car seems to be too big? Can anyone shed any light?Thanks, Michael. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57313-bf-wheels-on-a-ba/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 02/05/09 11:56 PM Share Posted 02/05/09 11:56 PM funny you mention this, I've had 4 sets of wheels on my BA of late and only the original 17's fit look like the fit on the front easily.I currently have GT 18's on and I paniked when the fronts wouldnt go on straight. After I settled down, I hand tighted the wheel nuts and althought being tight at first it was all good Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57313-bf-wheels-on-a-ba/#findComment-871532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if the wheel is too small to fit fully around the hub.

Not a staggered set from a ute for example? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57313-bf-wheels-on-a-ba/#findComment-871541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Bommodores have an offset problem. The VE has smaller hubs. I put BF wheels on my old BA XT no probs. Try fitting them again and check they r genuine.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4m 2d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 03/05/09 09:50 AM Share Posted 03/05/09 09:50 AM You are doing something wrong as the wheels should fit fine.As it has been mentioned all the wheels from AU to FG are the same with only the BA-BF FPV's haveing a different offset for the rear wheels.All the hubs are the same. Check that there is nothing fouling the hub like the dust disk or wheelnuts.
