Can i ask guys.. has anyone managed to fit a set of BF 19" FPV rims to a ED?
I'm about || close to getting a set of BF Typhoons but I want to make sure they'll fit!

fit how? do you mean 'will they scrub' or 'will they actually fit on the hubs'. the answer to the first i would say stock suspension or 'low' springs would be the lowest you could go on 19s. as for actual fit up i'm about to put a set of BA typhoons on my ED and i've bought a set of hub adapters to make them fit. you cant fit AU-BA-BF wheels on an e-series without illegal mods [here in QLD anyway].

more referring to if the wheel will rub on the inside on the suspension or if the tyre will rub on the gauards
i've had 16x8 and 16x9 wheels on the car with ease (bviously the 19s will be larger). i know the offset is different so i'd have to get a set of the hub adapters... maybe ill talk someone into letting me borrow a spare wheel and tyre of their BA FPV haha

If you order hub adapters to go from eseries offset to post AU offset they will be 36mm thick. With 18" BA wheels on my brothers EB the tires scrubed on the guards so we had someone take roughly 6mm off them so they were 30mm thick and that was perfect.
If you go to buy some, see if you can buy them 30mm thick and you should be right to fit 20's if you want. |

i was under the impression that 18" was the maximum you could get without scrubing??
get some really really thin tires and perhaps you could get away with it? there is a thread about guard rolling somewhere...

Nuh. You can get bigger than 18's on 'em. You can also fit 10" wide wheels on the back! Ask adxr8.

You can get them in 17", 18" and 19" aftermarket now, to suit E-Series offset. I want.

Maybe you're right Wayne, probably not E-Series, I may have mis-read. They advertise in the Trading Post as well, and I think they were flogging the BF GT 19's for $1899 or something along those lines.
Nice wheels are getting cheap these days! Sundeep |

after every single place in brissie flat out denied me i looked up the old thread about adapters and called Stonestar Australia. they are in melbourne and it only took 3 days from phonecall to in my hands. plus they have an ISO9001 sticker on them [dunno if it's legit but they are AWESOME quality units].
