I initially thought I would go with them, but I dunno, just gonna go a plain look with this car (my BA XR6T got defected like 3 weeks ago after only being back on the road for less than a month so trying to stay under the radar a bit)

In other news, the coil died on me on the way home from work this evening, but after a bit of searching around, found a replacement for $30 from a mate and she's back up and running again :)

Not much happening with the car at the moment

Currently out of rego.......should be rego'd again next week

Also picked up a pair of 15x7 stockies to run on the rear for some extra width............Anyone have any suggestions on tire size to run on these? I'd like to run 235's, but not sure if they'll clear the guards (being a Falcon guy, I could tell you how well any tire will fit under the back of an XD-XF, but have no idea what you can squeeze under the old commies!).............Guess I'd settle for 225's if 235's won't fit!

You should be fine running 235s on the rear.

Thanks for that guys!

ajvx I have also run 235's on 18's under the back of an early commodore before, but on the 15x7's they'll have somewhat more sidewall bulge than the same width tire fitted to a 17x8 or 18x8 rim...............Good to know they should be fine though!
