If you are serious about wanting AU onwards offset, there is a thread on boostedfalcon for an EOI on billet lower control arms to allow an AU upright to be fitted. This means AU2 onwards brakes can be used, and also gives AU offset.

that dont make sense??????????????
using au/ba offset rims on e series you need to add 30mm spacers to clear the suspension, not take material off the rim..... |

Get the copies, and use the $ saved for other mods. Realistically, the odds are no one will notice or care that they're not 'Genuine F.P.V. blah blah'. Or you can go through all the trouble of changing everything. For what? Bragging rights and a huge hole in your wallet.
