Guys, I'm looking to get a set of 16 inch wheels for my TF. They are from an FTO. Does anyone know if they have the same stud pattern and offset as the magna? Here's hoping. Any help would be great.

Cheers

I would think they fit cos they share the same disc brakes.

It has the same pcd of 114.3mm as the magna, with five studs. The offset
varies with wheel width as follows:
6.5" width has offset ranging from +20mm to +50mm (reg. +38mm)
7.0" width has offset ranging from +25mm to +45mm
7.5" width has offset ranging from +30mm to +39mm
8.0" width has offset of +35mm

There is also the spigot diameter which I don't know. If the FTO's spigot
diameter is smaller then the wheel wont fit on. If it is bigger then all the
weight of the car are on the studs which is a no no, as you'll find yourself
in a situation like my friend who bought an aftermarket alloy for his
mondeo which a larget spigot diameter then the standard factory wheel.
On his trip back from Melbourne, towing a trailer, two of the five studs on
each of the rear wheels sheared off.

So, be careful.

I have seen the VRX 17s on an FTO and an Express Van.

I have also read that some toyota, ford falcon and Nissan rims are interchangable with mitsubishi products.

Guys,

I ended up getting the wheels from the fto, and they are a perfect fit.
Thanks for your help!
