Ba Offset/fitment

[will-82]

Exactly what I was going to say, cops don't measure the track width, they check that the wheels are inside the guards and are done with it

You couldn't legally fit a 9" up front.

Front track of a BA is 1553mm, so legally you can push that to 1578mm, that leaves 12mm each side. A 9" is 26mm wider, but as track is measured from the centre, only half if that is taken into account, so that's still 13mm, we don't have any room at all to move the aftermarket wheels closer to the strut so the most offset we could have on that 9" is +23mm, which pushes the outer lip 26mm further out and makes our track illegal.

I hope that makes sense, I'm typing one handed whilst trying to feed my 3mo son

Are you actually retarded?

Not that I know of, I haven't had a checkup recently though, care to elaborate? Or just throwing unsubstantiated insults?

I got defected for track a few years ago and he didn't even get the tape measure out, he just "suspected" that it was too far (it was around 25mm each side haha)

It's bullsh*t that they can defect by suspicion alone

I have to humbly apologise for the call, I misread your post.

You can fit a 9" front legally though. RIP85 has 9.5' +20 on the front, that means a 9" +26 would fit as would a +25 and +24, all 3 being legal

my front has 36mm more track than factory so I'm screwed

[Spyathe]

A 9.5+20 is 34mm further out than factory, no way is that legal

And I'm about to put 9.5+35 with spacers so I'm screwed aswell

But it doesn't matter what the out side does as long as it doesn't hit anything or stick out, all that matters is where the middle of the rim is compared to where it started

it's actually a 32mm increase in track over factory. I used those wheels as a reference to say that if that size fits, then a rim that is 12.7mm narrower could fit with 6mm less offset - ie a 9" +26. this would have an increase in track of 20mm (10mm per side) which is legal

thank you, I thought we established this many posts ago but it needed to be said again

To clarify for certain people. If I put 19 x 12 inch rims on my BF and the offset is +36. The track is identical to stock.

But good luck getting them to fit haha, full tubs and a complete redesign of the front suspension
