Boosted Falcon

Hey guys, stumbled across this BA XR8 in the city, and had to take a pic.
It's running Work Emotion rims on the front with what I consider the perfect offset! Heaps of lip, great stance. Spoke to the owner, wasn't too annoyed when he busted me taking a pic haha.
Anyone else got pics of an au/ba/bf ute with a similar 'jap rim big offset' look? I've always wanted to get rid of my Revo's and go a high offset black TE37 style rim, but wasn't sure how it'd look til now.

Saw this thing get pulled over by 3 highway patrol cars on Prinny last week I think it was. Looled tarfffffff.

Yeah I'm not surprised he got pulled over! The poor quality pics don't do it justice, it stands out like dogs balls and just screams tough.

the mismatch front/back looks disgusting though hahahaha

I saw a ba ute in geelong with even less negative offset.
looked tuff as me and my brother took some pics ill chuck them up.
cheers josh.

Yep, its a hwy regular. Looks mental on the road. Theres also a BA sedan with black wheels and similar offset.

Thats how all wheels should sit.

Looks tufff! And is that a herrod sticker I see on the back window !

that is kesters with 18x9.5 +22 all round varrstoens,

18x10.5 +12 all round varrstoens would look better but his too jew to buy wheels lol, the ones in that pic are mine off my soarer...

buy them there... stretch some 235/40r18 on them. tuff as ****

that orange sedan with offset on hwy are rota p45r2s im pretty sure and they are 18x10 +12 or something hes a mate of henrys (ih82w8)

photo linking fails haha

also i reckon e series offset aftermarket wider fpv wheels would be tuff on b series they would be like 19x9.5 +6 or something... tuff

hey all,
new here so hey. thats my XR8 ute!

to the OP, sorry mate i never got your name? wasnt annoyed about the pics mate dw
and yes im a highway regular, on stock xr8 wheels now, 3 cops thought they would make my night giving me a defect :/

wheels on the car are :
work emotions - 18x10 +17 up front and XXR 521's 18x10 + 15 on the rear.
so yeah this is my work ute and yes there is a herrod sticker on the ute haha, has herrod cams / exhaust / interior / suspension and the rest.
makes a healthy 260rwkw for now!

i'll add some more pics of the ute later, need more stanced utes / fords i reckon !
for anyone that cares, look out for this on the highway too, this is my other car, 1990 nissan 300zx-tt i built from the ground up.
should be set to make 350ish rwkw.

hahah look out for the zed on the hwy.. is that a joke

but seriously rod how much is left on the zed and do u need help finishing it? i want that beast back out destroying cunce

kesters car looks good but yeah i agree needs more width on rear to pull it off.

zed looks fantastic mate make a build thread?
cheers josh.

Pics don't do it justice need atleast 10" on the back.

Is the zed on the road yet rod?

Looks gay as **** imo. Buy a Silvier/180 if you wanna do that shit

lol.

My ute, il do what I like.
We can't all drive around with sunken hovercraft looking fitment!

It's like why waste your money on your eb, go buy a pre-turbo car rather than turbo one yourself..
Because YOU like it yeah? Same as mine, i like the look, others do too! I Couldn't care less what you think Really, don't like it don't post, go have a fap ul sleep easier..

oh, and it's 'Silvia' bro.

Can't beat that look, sick to death of the normal chrome or FPV knock off shit...and the fact that people seem to think that tall rims are better...

Ha, can't believe the owner found the thread! Tough as looking ute mate, and it was good meeting ya!

I'm just tired of everyone running either a wheel from a higher spec or newer model falcon. Don't get me wrong, some can look great but it's just not for me. Don't even get me started on chrome-dinner-plate wheels.

I was actually looking at the XXR 521's as an option, but could only find them in a +25 fitments. I'd be interested if anyone's got pics of the sedan on P45R2's, as that was my other choice next to a TE37 copy.

Kester's BA looks good, but really needs more width to pull off the look properly. The way it sits is kinda what I was worried about with trying it on my ute, it's ok, but not quite all the way there.

Good thing with a E-series is, you can get some serious dish under the gaurds...

Onereded I sent him the link lol I've known him for years lol..
He is selling his xxrs btw

Pics?

Your rear suspension must be pretty stiff?

Looks sweet. Love dish

It's not too bad. Just Pedders SL's and Koni Reds on Full hard!

Good to see proper fitment coming to fords.
Shame we didn't get irs until au.

That can be fixed....

why would anyone want irs in a ute lol

Commodore owners

i agree. "stance" or "fitment" whatever you wanna call it looks shyte on falcons.
But thats just my opinion, others are welcome to like it.

These are good



Dylby, your wheel choice is in your ass so I'm going to take your opinion with a grain of salt!

That ute looks awesome
