hey guys,
just got a set of ford territtoryt mags for the EA yesterday....$300 with new rubber! They look sweet as, but ive got a lil problem, The two backs go on fine, but when i was putting on the fronts they go on but they hit the suspension arms the sit in the wheel arch.....a mate suggested using spacers but that idea doesnt really appeal to me. The wheels are 17's, but they dont have low profiles so i was thinking is should try and put some on to c if it helps. I was hoping that there might be a cheaper option tho? |

you will need 30mm adapters, im pretty sure there the same offset as AU/BA rims.

There the same offset as AU/BA so you will need spacers or hub adaptors!
Also im fairly sure the back ones will fit but not the fronts, as i have seen e-series running AU stockies... |

Rears will fit but sit in an inch.
You need bolt on adaptors, 4x of them, not just 2

what you're doing with using regular shiitty spacers, is putting alll the weright of the rim and car on the wheel studs, not on the center spiggot of the hub.. this will cause your wheel studs to break......and you can tell what hte end result of that will be.... |
