here's the reply post that I made when you asked in the spam thread.

you can purchase 'bands' that will allow you to have 15's widened however once you go to 16" you're severely limited and 17" band availability is non-existent.

I've looked into widening / moving offsets with interceptors before. Rang two different shops that do it - neither shop could source 17" bands.

Falcon rims come out 17 x 7.5inch interceptors. I have two sitting in my garage that I run on my rx7 / 30mm spacer so they fit. I couldn't adjust the offset sufficiently due to the way the factory band is manufactured / and couldn't source replacement bands either.

you're going to be up for $200-250 (iirc) per rim to widen the wheels & at that price a set of aftermarket rims may be your best choice.

you're partially correct.

that's where you source the rims from, from the Ford Territory. However the 'interceptor' is actually only the spare wheel, not the vehicles main rims. So finding a set of 4 is difficult.

and they are 17 x 7.5, not 8 as you've stated.

Although he hasn't said it I am guessing he wants the 'chaser' style steel wheels as shown in the picture.

yup, the 'mags' that the Territory comes with standard are the one's you've posted the ebay link to.

that's why finding 4 wheels (4x spare wheels from the territory) is difficult

dynamic make 17x8 and 17x9 in D shape sunraysia steel wheels to suit, and they are made for cars and not 4WD's so they are fairly light. plus the 9"s come in 0 offset,.

plus territory wheels wont fit an EF falcon as they use a 0 offset and territories and falcons run between 35 to low 40 something.
