Default Wheel differences

Guys,

The old mans new AU is a 07/99 model. will the wheels off my BA fit this or Vice Versa ??

He doesnt like 19s and I would be more than happy to swap them.

there shoudnt be a difference, stud pattern will be the same, and the offset should be fine, depending if they are factory or aftermarket. with any luck it should be a straight swap though.

yes and no, if a series 1 they have 15 inch rim and wont fit a BA due to the bigger brakes. if you have 16 inch rims there is no problem

except he already stated the AU had 19" rims and every single BA rim will fit onto an AU

AHahah thanks fella. Im liking the AU as well. Its a nice car but he doesnt want to look like hoon. Ahahaha.

I will gladly take his 19s and replace them with 17in BA ghia rims. More in keeping with his style.

What does one do for good cheep tyres on 17in rims and what the hell do i put on 19s lol

17" rubber is cheap as now, from $150 each. 19" Kumho's are good value, or you can go cheaper with Wanli's and not drive in the rain too much lol. Looking at about $240 up for 19" rubber

Now, get some pics up of the AU on www.aufalcon.com dammit
