I'm upgrading my brakes to a Tickford style twin piston setup. I'll need larger rims. Does anyone know if there is a Ford 17 inch rim that will fit an ED Futura and if so, what is the offset and allowable size?

The twin piston setup is a copy of the Tickford unit I think, contact these guys. Your looking at around $1900 for the kit, the uprights have to be tested first for cracks, that can take your ride off the road for 2 weeks. If they come back okay, then they get installed.
