can 16" ba stockies fit straight on ef?

[greek_beast]

was wondering if 16" ba stockies would fit on an ef as only a 16" wheel, with low profile tyres?

Will need spacers/adapters on the front. Backs will fit but they'll sit in a fair way if you don't use adapaters/spacers.

how big of a spacer do i need? 35mm?

[DOHC-EB]

NO! You will need 30mm adapters...

cheers mate

35mm spacers actually, I have them with BA XR6 wheels. They dont foul on the guards with 235/45s.
E series offset is 0, BA +36....

[mad_keen]

some say 35 and some say 30.

who is right?

have people had problems with their wheels rubbing on guards with 35's?

i just put 16s on mine and ive got 35mm spacers and there perfect. you can see photos in introduction under xr6berto's eb11xr6.

I'd be worried about 30mm hitting the upper control arm/knuckle..... 225s would be fine I would think, but I'd say 245s would be very very close.

uh.......???? so you have a total of +71mm offset????

[krisisdog]

Nah, the +36 on the BA wheels means the center is 36mm towards the outside of the wheel, the 35mm spacer brings it back to 1mm from dead center, pretty much spot on for E series.
