The 08 Model came out with 16" wheels as standard issue
I can't see the 07 model being any different.

Pretty sure they do, the standard rims are 16s with 0 Offset. The only rims that give trouble seem to be 15x7, but most do fit.

16x7 or 16x8 is fine.

Hi Brett,

I have a 2007 BT-50 freestyle with 15x7" King rims (offset 20) which are fine. The 15" rims give you a bigger choice of tyres and generally are cheaper. I am running 31x10.5R15 Mickey Thompson FC-II's.

I believe the 16" bolt on fine as others have said, but I have'nt tried myself for the reasons above.

Cheers,
Geoff

hi hunt
mazda's and courier's /bt-50/rangers have always had 15 or 16's throughout the models for years
so there should'nt be any problems except for the correct offsets
and they have been 6 stud since august 1996
so i wheely dont think you'll have a problem
as mention there is a biger range in the 15's
cheers

last week sitting on Big Red there was a BT 50 .
with a badly bent chassis ,trying to hold up the weight of a healslip
camper . it looked like the tray was a normal size tray on an extra cab .
It had about 18 inches of the tray in front of the diff and about 5 ft behind it
the couple said it wasn,t overloaded , it only happened when they fitted air
bags , wonder why they fitted air bags ?????????? later saw him in Birdsville
trying to get a temp repair to get home .
