Big group buy happening on the facebook page 'FPV registry' Simmons FR20 rims $2200 or something. Anyone know the max offset a ba/bf tub can handle?

After a better solution to my problem. I fitted my new Varrstoen 222 wheels tonight. They fit perfect with no rubbing. However on the front wheels the dust cap thing on the front Hub pokes out to far and I can't get my little polished alloy Hub caps on.

Is there an easier fix other than 10-15mm spacers?

Just get a hammer and smash them in a bit.

Just to further this, it's the new simmons 1 piece FR range. If people are intersted Aaron at the tyre factory Morabin vic, really switched on, ford man, helpful and good to deal with.

OK after weeks of setbacks & holdups I am finnaly ready to buy my new wheels & tyres for the BA.

I'm not outlaying a Huge amount of dollars, so I decided to go with something clean, neat & cheap. Lenso D1R wheels fitted the bill nicely.

Anyway, I was wanting to get 18x 8.5 for the front & 18x9.5 on the rear.

Everybody says that there is not problem with that size fitment just as long as you get the offsets right.

Now, the wheel/tyre shop that has the D1R's is telling me that I would be better off fitting 18x9 +32 offset on the front?

But I think the shop is having a lend of me because surley the 18x 9's +32 willI be too wide & protrude outside the front guards.

So whats the good oil on this fitment?

Will the 18x9" D1R's legally fit on the front or are they just trying to make a sale?

I think that maybe they have run out of 8.5's & are just trying to make a sale.
