Thanks guys! I was always going to get them, just blew out on the paint and had to wait a while.

Yeah they are AU3 TS50's with hub adapters bought from T Terror.

BTW, thanks to T Terror for the adapters, helping fit them and the ride in the XR6 Turbo!

Quick as man! It sooo doesn't feel like a Falcon except for the tailshaft clunk which sucks ***.

The rear ones still sit too far under, even with the extra 15mm or so on the hub. With the adapters they sit 15mm or so to far out, but the adapters don't seat the hub properly anyway because of a lip on the locator part of the wheel. I could either get it machined or use a couple of spacers, but that wouldn't be really safe.

Suggestions?

Nope. Did the ones on the front fit properly with the adapters on the rear?

Adapters are different front to rear. They're made so they locate on the centre of the axle or whatever. It's hard to explain over the net, it's a see-for-yourself/location thing.

can you get a wheel place to machine a lip into the hub of the rim, to seat the rim to the adapter lip?
is that the problem....

Ahh Sunny I had faith in you! Gotta be my favourite Ford rim of all time. It will look mad with the whole set on...

Which reminds me, I saw a Cobalt Blue ED Sprint in Perth a few months back with those Pursuit rims on it. Looked HORN. I meant to get a photo of it dammit! If only they made a copy to suit our offset :(

yea i didnt think the fit would be right with the rears with adapters or without. Its like you have half the offset already on the wheels, so youll end up with too little or too much.

Give me the details of how much extra meat the rear wheels have on them and ill see if i can find some adapters that are a little thinner.


Im not sure waht you mean with the problem fitting the adapter to the rear, show me tomorow or soemthing.
