Just fit hq offset wheels will poke 100mm out the guards and won't wreck the camber like fitting lower arms

HQ to WB have a slightly different PCD to Commodore, which can result in wheel studs snapping.

That being said, using that offset getting wheels made will achieve the desired result :)

10 x 15 with 4" backspace! Both front and rear, run 295/50/15 on the rear with 265/50/15 on the front. You will need to need to cut a fair chunk of the factory guards out & it will still scrape depending on how many people are in the car with you or how the front flares are trimmed. Adjustable front Z bars with adjustable strut tops are a necessity, there's a reason why they only ran these on the track! If you pull the rears back to 265/50 & fronts @ 225/60 it will work ok, then you can run 15x8 up front.

Looks ok to me in Blue! (Brad Kelling NZ build) Wheels & tyres would have to be $10k worth Ft18x 9.5 & Rr18 x 11.

Indeed, but 9.5 is a bit wider than 8 up front.
This build was very much bespoke, not just a eBay purchase & fit (like mine). He sourced a kit directly from HDT then heavily modified it to suit his wheel & tyre package.

They look like Work VS-XX. Can get them ordered to your spec direct from Work in Japan for about 2-3k depending on how terrible the dollar is at the moment.
