Can anyone tellme if 17 inch aftermarket BA rims will suit my magna. Will i have to do anything special for them to fit correctlyo are they a straight fit. Offset apparently is 36 mm. Thanks

Thanks Rhino. Also what are "loaters".Anyone else have any experience with this. With this offset, i am ppresuming the wheels will sit out further towards the guards.

Dunno why you'd be running 5mm spacers on the front with AU/BA offset rims.

So am i right in thinking that locators fit on the centre hub so the wheel fits snuggly on the hub. If so how much are they and where will i get them

They will fit - I have my old 17 off my AU (roh furys) on the magna 17 X 8 with a 38 off set
I put my old BA GT wheels on the Magna as well before I sold the wheels 18 X 8 with the different offsets 38 front and 32 rear it filled the guards out nicely - it looked HORN

The centre bore CB is the same 67.1 as well as the PCD 5 X 114.5 on the Magna and the AU- FG Falcons as well as the Camrys
You just have to be careful of the off set - the lower the off set means it will stick out further past the guards IE a 38 off set will sit closer to the strut than a 32 off set

Falcon CB isn't 67.1, rather 70.1 or 70.6 isn't it?

My bad you are correct it is 70.1 - I must of had a blonde moment - the 4 stud wheels have the CB of 67.1

So does that mean i will need locators or not?

No you will not need them

are you on crack? :nuts:
if the falcon centre bore is 70.1mm and the magna centre bore is 67.1mm there will be a 1.5mm gap all the way around the centre bore of a magna with falcon rims on it (if it's perfectly centred, which it won't be). at worst there'll be a 3mm gap on one side, and the wheel studs will be bearing the weight of the car.
you need locating rings.
