The rears at (+35) fit perfectly on a 9.5" width, but when I went to put the fronts on, it seems the hub was hitting the centre cap and pushing it out. Also even when I took the centre caps out it didnt seem to have anywhere near enough offset. Also the fronts are a 8.5".Got them from a dealer who said he'd fitted them to a few falcons and always went those offsets. So is the offset right or something a little off ? Needless to say, not happy this morning but just want to get them on !Any ideas??Cheers

I'll take them back to the shop and see what they reckon. Hopefully they can fit them up when a call in.

When I put them on, the hub pushes the centre cap out (don't think it should), and then even with the centre cap off it seems very lose on the front. So don't think the measurements are 100%.Backs fit up perfectly though :s. Strange.
