  1. Gday, My 2002 BA MKII Ute has decided recently it doesn't like 5th gear anymore, still shifts into 5th however after a random amount of time (sometimes instantly, sometimes after a minute) it spits it back into neutral. Anyone know why this is happening? Is the clutch on its way out or is it potentially time for a new box? still shifts and holds every other gear fine. Cheers
  2. Mate your an absolute legend, I’m gonna go with the 18x8 with a +45 like you said. Thankyou so much for the help as it’s my first falcon and I would love it to look sick as well as still be a stable daily driver ahah, it’s awesome to have someone that knows what they’re doing to point you in the right direction! Will update with photos of the new wheels once they get here!
  3. Ok sorry this is where I start to get confused ahah, so if it says on willtheyfit that the new rims setup will be x far away from suspension strut in comparison to original I’m pretty much guaranteed to have it not clash, and from your measurements I’m able to have 9mm of free play on the inside towards the steering arms etc.
  4. Cheers man really appreciate it, was hoping to get rid of the spacers and have something that fits, dastardly things those. Will run the math tonight and decide, trying my best to go for no poke. The reason the spacers we’re on in the first place was because of aftermarket fronts
  5. Well it’s a bit of a long story ahah but here goes: Recently purchased my First BA MK2 ute after being a Expensive Daewoo boy for my younger years, drove the car for 2 days before the left hand front wheel flew off in front of me, then I made the discover it was running bolt on spacers at the front *brilliant* 😂, bought some 2nd hand aftermarket wheels that apparently came off a BF sedan, I had read previously there should be no problem putting them on a BA, I put them on the front annddddd it clamps right onto the suspension arm, fully locking the wheels. Ever since have been trying to get a new set of wheels that I can guarantee will fit, as it’s currently sitting on jack stands in my driveway. Was going to go with stockies but with the price people ask for them and the fact I only need the two fronts I convinced myself to splash some cash and get some nice new rims. So yeah now I’m here trying to educate myself about the wide world of wheels lmao. Appreciate your help mate fairly novice with this stuff.
  6. Cheers mate, the wheels themselves only come in a +40 offset from stock, to get the 36+ I would have to get them to drill blanks sadly, I guess I’ll have to be happy with them becuase I need to get my baby back on the road ahah
  7. Cheers Keith, sorry I’m pretty bad with numbers and a bit new to fitting tyres and rims etc. I ran through this calculation on willtheyfit and decided to stick with the 36+ offset, would you be able to just confirm that these will 100% not rub or hit anything? That’s all I’m looking for really: https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=235&aspect=45&diameter=16&wheelwidth=8&offset=36&width2=235&aspect2=45&wheel_size=17&wheel_width=7.5&offset2=36
  8. Hey guys, so after discovering my new tyres wouldn’t fit because of offset issues, started looking at more options, was looking at these: https://www.ozzytyres.com.au/wheels/hussla-billz-gloss-black-17x7-5?=4241660545021 was just wondering what is the correct offset for the front? I’ve heard some people say +35 and then others say +45 is OEM. Just want them to fit nice and clearly.
  9. Gday, recently bought some new wheels for my mk2 BA, fit them to the car and suddenly the car wouldn’t move, like the front brakes were locked on. On further inspection it appears the wheels are the problem, as the rotors spin and work fine when the wheels are not attached, any ideas? The car did originally have spacers on the front but I took them off as they’re more trouble then they are worth, could they actually need them? I thought the tyres would fit as they came off a BF. out of my depth with this, cheers
