tommo224 Member 40 Member For: 8y 11m 19d Posted 14/05/15 04:42 AM Share Posted 14/05/15 04:42 AM Hey guys,I'm new here, and I've been trying to find out a bunch of information on the fitment of wheels for my car.I've just picked up a 2006 BF F6 Typhoon, and shopping around for wheels.So 2 questions,1) What is the offset for my standards? I think they're the "twist" wheels.2) Also, from what I've gathered through searching, these sizes/offsets should fit (ie: clear the Brembos):19x8.5 +30/3519x9.5 +3020x8.5 +3520x10 +30/42So, should this mean, if I go a set of TSW Bathurst in 19x9 +30 and 19x10.5 +27, would I need spacers? And if so, how thick?http://wheelwarehouse.com/collections/tsw-wheels-rims/products/tsw-bathurst-silver-w-mirror-cut-faceI'm new to trying to understand offsets and stuff.These are the sizes and offsets that are available, so if you have a recommendation of sorts, I'm open:19x8 +3519x8.5 +1519x9 +3019x9.5 +3919x10.5 +2720x8.5 +4020x9 +2020x9 +3020x10 +4020x10.5 +25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All FPV rims clear. Edited 14/05/15 06:34 AM by PhilMeUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Locky) Member 85 Member For: 10y 3m 22d Gender: Male Posted 14/05/15 08:05 AM Share Posted 14/05/15 08:05 AM A lot of wheel makers, well at least a lot of 2/3 peice wheels have different 'disk sizes'. Which is how thick the spacing is from the wheel mounting face to the back of the spokes.IE Work Wheels use the systemR disk high clearance for brembos ect,A disk for mid clearance for normal sized 4 pot brakesO disk for low clearance like single pot rear calipers for maximum dishA lot of generic tyre shop wheels dont have any of this kind of info, or an easy identifiable system like about. but "generally" on cheap one peice wheels if the concave ect isnt any different the offset is just done buy milling more off the back of the same blank to get a higher offset, and thus less brake clearance.But as all those wheels are different widths its hard to tellThey look very similar to RAYS G25's which come in different concave to suit the size... but they will be way more than that kind of money hahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Japs certainly know how to do a nice set of wheels haha.. I had Enkei RS05RR on my 335i before buying the Typhoon!Would love to find a set of Work wheels, would be different to what you normally see on a Falcon!But, budgets are budgets huh :( I contacted TSW, let's see what they say! Otherwise maybe I'll find a local supplier who will let me test fit, just so I can get the sizes. :DI also would like a set of Vossen wheels, but they're stretching the budget too =/ Edited 14/05/15 08:15 AM by tommo224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are 19's (but can come in different sizes as third party knock offs too). Stock wheel offsets on them are +36.5 for the fronts and +28.5 for the rears. Might be worth taking them off and checking. The wheel nuts are different lengths too if you still have the factory ones on there. Oh and the spare will be a +36.5 (front) since those are OK to go on the rear of the car too.These are the twisties, a google image search for "FPV twisty" will show you as well Edited 14/05/15 12:17 PM by -Stever- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
