Black GXP Maloo

[McFly The Slacker]

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??

20x10, 30p. I went with an 8mm spacer to make sure they'd clear the brakes and I could see how it sits. Could probably drop back to 5 and still clear.

I've seen 20x10 20Ps with a front guard roll or otherwise you'll need neg camber to tuck them. Personally I love how agressive your wheels are and would make the effort to make them fit

Yeah i want to get them to work. The aggressiveness has grown on me. Someones selling a set of pedders coilovers locally as well that I might have to pick up to aid the fitment. And 3mm spacer might just clear the brakes as well, decent gap between them and the wheels now.

Bought a set of Pedders Extreme coilovers today. Hopefully fit them this weekend and then get the guards rolled sometime next week. Then go from there.

Im pretty set on selling/trading the Magics due to the fronts needing to be so extreme to clear the brakes. Found out that the genuine Brembos on a GXP are bigger than the standard HSV brakes...looking at a set of Koya SF04's at the moment, maybe 10.5s on the rear and 9.5 fronts.

But might end up getting a decent exhaust put on it first.

So I sold the Magics and have a stagered set of E1 GTS's on it at the moment. Going to order a set of Koya SF04s this week. 20x9.5 front and 20x11 rears.

 

[McFly The Slacker]

Been a change of plans. Trial fitted some Vertini Dynastys and they clear the front brakes and sit just how I want them. 20x10 all round at +30.

I put the Dynasty's on last week, fiddled around with the coilovers to reduce the scrubbing. But its been parked up since the weekend until I get the guards rolled on Monday. Already slightly bent one of the front guards, just on the lip from where they grabbed. Hopefully get the exhaust sorted next week as well, going a 3" Manta. Actually haven't taken any photos yet, but I was even considering getting a HSV bodykit just to toughen up the rear end but the wheels have solved that issue. Might end up buying some new tyres though as the ones that came with them are stupidly noisy. I'll get some photos up this weekend.

 

[McFly The Slacker]

Had the guards rolled and resprayed the front bar as well due to all the stone chips and scraping on low driveways. Still scrubs a little bit but I think I've wound the drivers side front coilover down a little bit more than the passengers so will adjust that and hopefully its all sweet.
