Looks like 15x7 rims of a Ford Falcon fit - see the ad below. I asked the seller and he's confirmed they are 15" - He's run hankook 215/75 r15tyres on them

I found some pics of the same rims fitted as standard on an EL XR6 falcon. Probably other rims from this model fit also. I'm fixed up for rims and tyres now but would be an interesting option for someone to try.

7" damn! wonder what the offset is?

I tried a set of BA? stock rims on my io early on and they didn't clear the caliper at all, must be after markets etc

.

They have an offset of postive 38. So they would hang 32mm out from where the stock wheels are.

I am not sure

Hi, I am not sure about the 32 mm out, did you add the full extra inch difference? shouldn't it be half. The io is, I think around 46 positive, the ford 38, so we have now 46-38= positive 8, add half an inch 12mm and you have positive 20. The extra inch go on either side of the center line. I might be completely wrong again here...:) I do that...lol...

Happy io

My io is now SOLD Thankshttp://pajerio.com/forum/claudes-io-2002-zr-built-thread-onlyhappy-io

I didnt work that out sorry. Someone else told me, and they said the IO is positive 6. So maybe thats where he went wrong.
