And now with all of these posts encouraging me and applauding my handiwork, I am feeling a tad light headed LOL Still need to fit and finish the flares of course, hence the quickie paint job today. See you on Friday night and we can discuss the next step. Cheers BenJ

Just when I thought you couldn't make the wagon look any better than you had before...
Those flares are brilliant!! An inspiration as always.

Looking good. Your gonna have fun with wheels as most will look skinny with the flares even if you go to a bigger size. Best bet is to look at wheels from Japan if you do want to fill out the flares a little bit.
Are you going to trim the guard lip from the standard wheel arches? |

In actual fact it should be noted that the rear wheel arch is not any wider than the body is std, except for the thickness of the fibreglass.
On the front they are perhaps 5mm wider at the most that the std guard. There is not scope to 'cut out' the std wheel arch as there is just no room. While I would like rims with more dish, I am quite happy with the 17s. There are a couple of companies that make 17s with a 9" rear, and I would consider 18s if the wheel was something special with the same staggered setup. I am not a fan of big rims for the sake of it, and 19s or bigger on a boxcar just looks wrong to me. The one exception is XTT909's EB1 Sedan. Cheers BenJ

rubbish
 big rims looks cool on a falcon........ 19's are perfect ive seen a few people say big rims look crap on a falcon, and they are usually broke, or dont want to spend the coin....... i know i certainly couldnt be bothered with the bling look (nor can i afford it these days), but i aint gonna deny the fact it looks hot !! |

On an EF-EL yes 19s do look great. On an EA-ED, not my thing.
Each to their own I guess, but that is why we mod our cars to be the way we like them. Cheers BenJ

The amount the flares sit out seems a little small but you put yours on a EB so maybe thats how they are ment to be. The flares on the front of mine are about 20-22mm further out the standard but they are EB flares on an EL and the rears are about 7-8mm.
Looking at the rear flares on yours makes me wish I didnt stuff around with them to cover the dog leg. |

Looking at the rear flares on yours makes me wish I didnt stuff around with them to cover the dog leg. They are EB GT style flares, which don't actually stick out all that far on a EB as seen. I think some deep dish rims would look great on the wagon BenJ, but it still looks great with the current rims. Cheers ToranaGuy
