I know on my car the previous owner had to pull off the premium brake package and revert to sh*tty XT brake's to get the 15 inch Weld Draglite's to fit for Drag Racing.

And just to note, my standard 17 inch BA XR6 wheel's are currently on an EL Falcon, so they do fit but they did need spacer's. ;)

That’s what I’m planing on doing; Mickey Thompson’s are a lot cheaper in 15’s.

As far as I know, there’s no 15 inch wheels for the BA's, but there are 15’s for the AU’s.

I guess the main question is, what size breaks are on the rear of the AU’s and are they the same on the BA’s?

I honestly do think "SOME" 15' rims WILL FIT over the rear discs, all depends on the shape of the rim on the inner.

its pretty easy to check, grab a few wrecker specials and have fun with a wheelbrace for 20 minutes.

heath (xrtwpn) runs 15' slicks on his ute, but had to "modify" to fit...

I fitted some 14" SKIDDYS over my old AU sedan just I assume you will be able to fit 15's over the rear rotars of a ba ute they don't look much bigger

Yes confirmed today, 15inch wheels don’t fit over the rear breaks, but there are so close!

So my plan is using custom made wheels, with Ford centres and a high inside rim, welding the centres further out to allow for the brake callipers.

I will keep you posted when I come up with a solution.
