(Ghia5L here, I couldn't frikken log out/log back in again!)

Yeah the offset differs... so Pre-AU wheels stick out heaps, while Post-EL wheels on earlier models kinda shrink into the guards and need spacers to fix this.

Hmmmmm I saw a lot of differing tastes at AFD yesterday! And alas, I didn't get to photograph bunnyman again :

I took two pix of a magna wagon though yay.

There's a black AU with EF XR wheels (the 15" version) in beaufort, and the wheels dont seem to stick out that much, but it looks weird :S
