42 mm offset? would it work for a ba falcon

thanks samson

Im thinkin it would probably work on a ute, Jman recently fitted some 10.5" wide rims on the back of his ute (BF though) that had a 42 offset (I think...).

Cant help ya if its a sedan though... I think a 38 is ok for a sedan, im not 100% sure if a 42 would fit.

Someone should be along fairly soon to confirm or let ya know though!

BTW - Get some pics up if it happens lol... Phat!

ahah will do!!!

yea its for a sedan hopefully I find out if they work from someone soon

the rims are 18*7 offset 42 mm

Standard offset is +36 so going to a +42 will pull the wheel in closer to the suspension I believe. Now since they are a 7 inch wide rim then you have reduced the width by 12.5mm each side of centre compared to a standard rim. So looking at the inside clearance from the suspension to the edge of the rim you will gain 12.5mm by going to a 7 inch rim but loose 6mm buy going to a +42 offset. So my opinion is they will fit if they still clear the calipers.

Vetha - Can I ask why your lookin at 7" wide wheels?

narrower wheels with higher offset than stock. so you will have a narrower track + less rubber on the road. DO NOT DO THIS
