i just got some ba xr6 wheels and was just wondering what i need exactly to put them on my car somebody told me that a 10mm spacer is all i need, but ive heard that these can make your wheels fall off. so what do i need for it to be safe.

All 3 of these suggestions work, the first is wise, the second is questionable as to its legality and insurance companies don't like it and the third is fantastic but possibly out of your budget. I know e-series mags are a lot dearer than AU-BA mags, but seriously, sell them and buy e-series mags.

although i wouldnt have any issues with the quality of the adapters, and i would use them in an instant... the fact that they are not covered by insurance worries me...
i would have AU T series 18's on the NC in an instant if you could get insurance cover with them |

i got the xr rims on mine with spacers... the only problem with em is that they are illegal apparently, but they still look good. i think you can get ones that are made for the e-series, but they cost a load more than the BA ones

ok cheers i might put em up for sale see what happens, what size spacer do you need for em, we put 8mm spacer on my mates car (vn with vy calais) coz the bit that covers the nuts wouldnt go on, somebody told me it takes a 10mm spacer. i really want el gt rims but these came cheap.
