Rolling diameter should be the same as 17s or 18s, so it doesn't really matter what size the rims are.

Well excuse me for showing an interest, and for invading your space. However the title of the thread being BF GT-P rim oriented seemed relevant to my recent purchase. So I know what side of the fence to sit now. And again, thanks for sarcasm... :thebirds:

yeah thats fairenuf, by the time i need tyres 19's will be worth the price of 18's probably, they keep getting cheaper. But yeah ride quality would be better with 18's. 18's are the new 17's.

They are BA2 GT-P rims and BF GT rims, so they belong to both BA and BF, just on different models. The BF GT-P has a slightly redesigned 19" wheel, without the indents on top of each spoke.

BF GT-P wheels are the same as the typhoon optional 19's except silver. How original of ford...
