I am looking to get a BA XR6 Turbo in a few weeks time and was wondering what size/offset it would take to fill the guards.

He isn't implying a 30mm slip on spacer on each side, simply using a lower offset/wider wheel. OR you could use hub adaptors if you wanted, that's the cheats option, but still would have full contact of the nuts, as the spacer bolts to the original hub, and has a new set of full length nuts for the wheel I.e.

HAHA!I was refering to bolt on hubcentric spacers. I like the spacer idea so I can interchange front and rear for tyre wear.Best offset I have found so far for the rear is 19x9.5 +35 offset.

winstor Member 611 Member For: 16y 1m 25d Posted 30/03/10 02:40 PM Share Posted 30/03/10 02:40 PM BF MK2, dont know how +28 would sit even with the guards unless the rim was smaller than 9.5".I myself am after new rims for my FG, was looking at 8.5/9.5 +30 all round, but may go lower on the rear to fill it out more, or just settle with 18x10 +30s Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66386-who-3s-offset/page/6/#findComment-996297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
