Fyi Eb doesn't have coil packs, I'd personally pick the the eb as a daily/ tow car, plenty of torque reasonably cheap to run and not as valuable to you if you just drive it into the ground

Yep. Ive bought many  e series and ran them into  the ground  Kangaroos, then i just buy another lol. they tow and drive 100x better than an xf

Epic! I'm a fan of the silver too, but the real deal looks epic in gold! Look forward to seeing them on the car!

Fitting of any drive axle assembly (including differential and brakes) from a different make or model vehicle. Example requiring certification: • Fitting a Ford 9 inch differential into a Commodore. Example not requiring certification: • Fitting aftermarket internal drive axle components eg differential locks.
 
 
Technically it needs engineering I think but 99% chance no one would even know on the off chance they bothered checking it.

Bro just go and buy an Eb wagon or ute diff . they are heaps better, and not to hard to fit up

Nice!

We did not sway you but it will looks mint never the less

If you can get them to fit the rims and check clearance on the front at full lock both ways just to make sure they dont hit. They cant blame you then if something is wrong

That charade is a machine, i even took the 5L to the machanics in the back of it, along with three big tubs worth parts. Boys at the workshop pissed em selves.

Gold or not gold depends on the colour of the car. I don't think the gold really goes with the silver paint, shame that the gunmetal isn't available in what you want. You could always paint them later I suppose. Choosing wheels is agonising.
You could decide on one style then change your mind next week and again the week after.

I know 20's on x series aren't everyone's cup of tea, but i do like the look. I had the 19's on there before and i little bigger would be better imo,
Saying that i do like smaller wheels e.g. snowies, convos, weld star pros in 15's, and i like the look with 18's too. I'm gonna keep an eye out over the next few years for some second hand 18" Avant Garde m220's which are a mesh rim, a one peice copy of HRE 501 3 piece wheels which are like 1500 a wheel, i really like the idea of but not sure enough to fork out a couple of grand for a brand new set.
I'm starting to see them on beemers a bit which i think are the same stud pattern, offset would be wrong im sure, but with some adapters and at the right price second hand id like to try and find a set to ad to the collection.
Theses ones
 

 
And i really want to track myself down a set of 17" terri chasers like XES has just thrown on his XE, but silver with chrome dress rings and a thin redwalled tyre, a modern take on the old s pac style.
Yes i have issues... but i don't think im the only one

285 17's on my red ghia:

I think they both look good in either colour but why 20's?
They a big wheel. 18's is as big as id go but of cause its not my wheel or choice.
Toss a coin heads for gold, tails for silver.
I dont think you will go wrong. 

Sorry dude just realised your not running gold vertinis, dunno where I got that from...

Go the gold i reckon. Didnt know they were doing pre AU now. The stepped lip on the simmons looks better.  

I like contrast, so gold or that gun metal grey colour, not silver though.

Now that I'm home I can use the above link that I put in my first post in this thread.
Putting 235/30/20 on 8.5 inch rim with 0 offset(4.8 inch backspace) and comparing it to 185/75/14 on 6inch rim with +6 offset the 20inch setup is only 19mm closer to the suspension, 31mm further out towards the guard and 16mm increase in rolling diameter.
If the only change is 245/35/20 to the above it is 24mm closer to suspension, 36mm further out towards the guard but 46mm increase in rolling diameter. The rolling diameter increase it where you run into the rubbing on guards/ bump issues.
Also according to the above link 8.5 inch rim with 4.5 inch backspace is actually -6 offset, so putting that into the above link is
 
235/30/20 8.5 rim inch with -6 offset(4.5inch backspace) comparing to 185/75/14 6 inch rim with +6 offset  20 inch setup is 13mm closer to suspension, 37mm further out towards the guard and still 16mm increase in rolling diameter.
 
235/30/20 8.5 inch rim with +6 offset (5 inch backspace) comparing as above 20 inch setup is 25mm closer to suspension, 25 mm further out closer to guard and rolling diameter doesn't change.

20x 8.5's definately do fit on the front. Mine has them all round and tyre is almost under the guard with no rubbing and no mods to get them to fit. Although only running a 235 tyre on front. Unsure about the 10 on the rear though.

It is hard enough fitting a 275 tyre on a 10 inch rim on a ute which as more room than a sedan and the fronts will be just far to wide. Plenty of wheels out there are are just not quite right to fit an x series its quite annoying

Anything is possible, but without lots and lots of work I would say no they dont fit. 8.5 on the front wont fit as it will hit suspension and rub on guard and bumper. 10 on the back will do the same as the front. Have a play around on this site http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp use your current setup on the left then new setup on the right and it will tell you the difference between the 2.
For it to possibly maybe work you would need standard height suspension, rolled guards, trimmed bumpers, probably flairs and someway of getting the wheel away from the suspension

Hey guys
 I'm interested in purchasing the ('ford racing rocker covers, black and red in colour ), and noted that these covers need some mods to clear efi.....is anybody aware of the mods required for fitment?
