they should do.....i am pretty sure they're the correct offset for AU + BA.

they're multi fit, meaning they have 2 different stud paterns......one of them is 5 x 114.3, which is the falcon patern

i was considering getting them and using the adapters to fit them to my NC fairlane...... they're a very nice looking rim

yeah they are but apparently you can only deviate by +5,-5??but im hopeless with wheel offsets!!

if it makes any difference,the car has been lowered with lovells springs front and rear with camber kit on the front so dunno if it would scrub or not??

AUs and BAs have a +35 off set, you may be able to vary slightly on you offset, i am running a 40 offset to run a wider rim without rolling the guards.

They won't fit an AU or BA front - they will hit the upper arm. 40mm is max offset for the front.
