Starion Rims

Does anyone know information on the starion widebody 5 spoke rims? I need to know because I need two blank (black) rims, you know the ones that is like a spare? Because I need them because I want to chuck a set of tyres on it for drag racing at willowbank, and can't seem to find any.

Cheers

Fairly sure it'd be Ford pattern. Most of the Jap RWD 5 stud stuff is (or so I've been told).

Yeah, Ford (Falcon) pattern from what I've read on US forums. Check offset though.

I've heard it's a Ford pattern.

5 X 114.3 PCD with front offset on the 7's being +18 and the rear 8's have 0 offset.

Oh, and its a FORD stud pattern :D

Also if you plan on running slicks, you will need to run cross ply front tyres. I think it is over 110mph trap speed and/or 12.99 ET or better.

Fronts:
7" +18mm
8" +18mm

Rears:
8" -10mm
9" 0mm

As was said, Fords pattern works.. Nissans also work(240sx, 350z etc..) some Toyota's also use 5x114.3mm(5x4.5")...

Ford stud pattern is same as L300 if that helps.

Check that its a Ford stud pattern first though :P

Does anyone know if the AU falcon's had these stud patterns or if it was all Pre AU

I doubt they would change the stud pattern, offset maybe but not pattern.

But I think the Ford stud pattern will fit. But check it.

All Falcons have used the 5 x 114.3 stud pattern.
Pre AU Falcons used a RWD 6mm offset, AU and BA use a FWD offset, figure unknown.

So will the AU falcon's RWD rims fit my widebody? Thats the question now at hand

Yeah and also the Ford pattern is also a good one to look for :D
Sorry could not help myself....

Probably Woody, you should be able to put slightly wider rubber on too.
But check the Ford ones also.

Woody, I have a data spreadsheet that has various combinations for both widebody and narrowbody wheel widths and offsets, as well as backspacing and front spacing. Give me the AU wheel size as well as tyres and I will let you know exactly how it should fit.

I know that you can fit up to 12 inch wide wheels and rubber on the back of a widebody, with the correct offset, of course ;)

Would you be able to use the Ford stud pattern on the 12 inch wheels :)
