Was never a big fan of the GXP’s originally with half the bodykit. But most of the HSV features, leather, LS3 plus not having to deal with the overly chunky Maloo hardlid is win-win in my book.

Current look:

What body kit does it miss out on the ute other than the tailgate faux lights and lid? Nice color, just something about black that works so well with the shockwave aero front on the ute.

Tailgate, side skirts, rear bar, sailplane and hardlid. Looks cleaner without all that rubbish in my opinion.

New wheels on for a trial fitting, Vertini Magics 20x10 all round. Still need guards rolled which isn't the easiest thing to get done in Kalgoorlie. Just dont quite clear the brembos up front though. 50/50 on how far I want to go to get them to fit as finally buying a house is so much more tempting. Looks so much better than the R8s though.

Looks pretty good.

what specs are the wheels? looks like a 245 on a 9.5-10 and 30P offset?

 

[McFly The Slacker]

245 on 10s and yeah a 30 offset. I didnt ideally want to go that extreme an offset but was advised they should fit. I'm doubtful they wont scrub without some negative camber and/or pumping the guards a bit. Its a tight fit. Hopefully I can get them to work as it does sit really well.

Asuuming you haven't had a wheel alignment since it was lowered, you will probably have -3 or 4 degrees ATM. Just done the maths and your wheels poke 4mm more then mine. I've had a slight roll which does pump the guards too maybe 10-15mm and mine tuck and there zero rubbing. My cambers maxed out and is about -1 degrees.

Bought some spacers to clear the Brembos up front and see how it sits...way too much poke unfortunately.

Yeah looking at it there's already a few degrees of neg camber on it, can see it by eye.

What specs are the fronts? I do have max neg camber up front at -2 so I can get my rims under (20x9.5 28P alround) what size spacer 3, 5 or 8mm??
