you will have to give the caliper a touch up with a grinder, as they dont fit as standard, but they will go.

16"ers standard from AU2 I think.

hey guys, managed to get a set of 15x8 inch rims to fit my ba without touching the calliper, they have a 5 1/2 inch offset, im just curious now too see what tyres guys have run out there at the drags that actualy fit in the quarter panel.. mind you I have lipped my quarters.. ive been thinking of a 27x10.5 inch slick.. any suggestions? ive seen blueboost run 28x10.5, but I think they stick out passed the quarter abit.. I want it to be able to fit in the quarter when the car squats over the tyre on take off without rubbing..

cheers frank

Anyone remember when they actually thought 15s looked good???

I remember when a friend got a set of 15 inch ROH wheels on a vn... We though they were the sh1t... LOL

What is gonna happen next? Wheels cant get any bigger!!!

Mid 80s'. On my Pulsar ET & in 88 on my VL turbo (Neales wheels at Greenacre), replacing the old 14s.

As for rubber I remember when I put some 185 wide rubber on my XY. Now that was fat rubber, and to top it off they were the new steel belted type, instead of cross ply.

Got rid of the old Dunlop Aquajets (otherwise knows as Aquasquirts)

Im currently driving an early 90's Pulsar with a set of these bad boys on it!!

It has a 10" sub and aftermarket 6 stacker in the back as well! It was the coolest car in the world back in the early 90's!!!

Makes me laugh now!

15" PCW Tri-Spokes

I remember when I had to replace my 99 Magna tyres which were 16" and damn were they expensive for a 17 year old... like $170 a corner lol. Probably from too much FWD frivolity :roflmbo: Mind you it could keep up with a VR/VS. Those were the days.

15's are still the bomb over here :roflmbo:
