I have a question : )Does anyone know if the FPV BF GTP rims are the same as the FPV BF Super Pursuit GT ute?They look identical but was wondering if the rears have the same 10mm wider offsett as the sedan variant??????Thanks

Simply look at or measure the thickness of the wheels' hub. It's obvious when you compare front and rear that the rear hub is about 10mm thicker than the fronts. I was told all FPV's have the offset difference but I'm not 100% sure.Big AL
