SirkWhyXF

Didn't make any noticeable difference on either car for me. Spacers are fine in my opinion (some hate them for various reasons, each to their own), however they may possibly void your insurance if you have an accident, and yes just more shit to deal with and another cost to add, unless you got them free with the wheels.

Probably, but your better off with the copies in the right offset anyway, then you don't need the spacers.

And here's my brothers ed running 35mm spacers and ba offset wheels. Edit: I just noticed in this pic it doesn't look like he's got the spacers on the rear, so they sit in and look kinda tubbed but still work, but you get the idea.

As stated already they are BA gtp wheels, but being they came off an EL they are most likely aftermarket copies in the correct offset for pre AU vehicles. If not they are the original ford wheels in the wrong offset for falcons befor AU's an the EL was running spacers in which case if you grab the spacers and use them on the xe you will have no issues. Stud pattern is the same on all falcons (excepts for the xp's back i think?) just the offset changed with the au. Basically if they fit on an el they'll fit the xe. I've had dark argent typoon copies in pre au offset on my xf and ed.

Either way can't go wrong. (i'd still go gold... but i do have a gold wheel fetish, i just love gold wheels for some reason.)

Deep dished Gold 17's would look shit hot on your van.

Thanks for the detailed reply mate.

Wha chu class as too big a tyre Q?

I've got one, but your a long way from me...

No idea tbh, but I imagine basically yes. Although basic xf seat does not have lumbar adjustment where as I imagine Ltd would. I'm sure I will be corrected shortly if that is wrong.

Saw an Xb a while back for sale with an e series dif, but can't say I've seen the same in an x dub or y. Should fit but xy/w have a shorter wheel track yeah?

Looks bloody beautiful, mint!

Yes very nice mate, only thing I would change is a bit more low in the rear. Did you diy the strips, you can see overlap in the close up, neat though. Very nice work if so, was thinking of having a go with some cheap pinstriping tape on my xf.

Yeah don't be shy champ, show us what you got... ......

What's mobile machining worth? New rotors are cheap...

Globes and Redwalls look mad, still not silver though

Very nice Dave, but if I'm not mistaken that colour is poo brown not silver

Your most welcome mate.
