Hi guys,
Just found some cheap mags with the specs of: "These are a multi 5 stud wheel with 114.3mm and 100mm PCD, the offset is et 42 and will fit cars with offset between et38 and et45. The center bore is 73.1 which can be altered easily with hub locator rings to fit a car with a smaller bore." I know AU has an offset of +36 and I've seen a post where one guy reckons +42 is ok... any issues I might run into? Any help would be appreciated Cheers |

Yeah i thought it was a +35 offset but yeah, close enough. You can go + or - 4/5 or so, but i wouldn't, really. I don't know what the hub size is on an AU, but i wouldn't get anything but the right fit.
Personally, i wouldn't. Perhaps put this in the wheel/tyre section instead?

Depending on what size tyres you plan on using, you may end up touching suspension components with that offset, assuming a 7" rim. If it's 8" rim, then that offset is fine.

CSA list the dominator in a 42P offset as suitable for AU & BA falcon. Most other rims in their range in the same sizes are 36P offset. If they say they'll fit, then I would take that as gospel.
