15" wheels for xr6 turbo

[XR6Turbo22]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if I could get a 15" wheel on the rear of a ba xr6 turbo? I have a set of slicks that suit a 15" rim and hoping I could use those at the track!!

Anyone?

you might be able to, you'll just have to see if you can get a wheel with the right stud pattern, as all the BA's have 16" minimum, maybe an AU, but I think the offset is different...

Would the old school EA-EB "snowflake" style 15" wheels fit?

I'm about 99% sure they will not fit, EL was a different offset to the ba, so EA/EB will be different, you could call a tyre shop like bob jane or something...

they will fit but will look like sh*t cause of different offset they will stick out a little further on the side of the car past the guard

you sure those rims are going to fit over the brakes? there is mm room with my 16" au fairmont rims and stock brakes.

in typing this but I do recall the gtech car using that style rim at the track......

Youngy and I did a fair bit of caliper grinding to fit his 15" weld racing rears to a BA ute.
