Thrash, two fuel rails are better than one, i designed a custom manifold over 15 years ago, never finished it, got married, divorced and now happy again, back then, the biggest injector was around 400cc, so i built a 2 injector per cylinder manifold, running bosch ev6 injector from a falcon xr6 turbo, 440cc, running e6x staged injection, wasted spark, crank pickup missing tooth, 6:1 compression, ex GroupA split pulse exhaust manifold and one of there cheat turbo's with a 20g compressor wheel, manley swirl polished stainless steel inlet and exhaust valves, ported head, copied a HKS group A head, large cam, still running JD intercooler, will be changing soon, 3" exhaust, aries forged pistons, lightened flywheel, balanced ect, enough boost, goes just OK

If anyone knows a version of this that will display stretched sidewalls ie. "hella flush" style I'd be interested.

FRONT: 16x7 +20. With 225/50/16 tyres.
REAR: 16x7 +20. Also 225/50/16 tyres.
Heaps of room for the rears, but there's only about 6mm between either the weld on the leg for the spring retainer or between the corner of the tyre and lowest outer edge of the spring retainer. Note, this is a standard strut.

Checked out the aftermarket 15x7 wheels too, they are the same as Noddy's two-tone JB in the pictures section of this site.
FRONT: 15x7 +16. With 215/60 tyres.
REAR: Same as the front.

I hadn't seen the rimtuck which is cool, but a hypothetical calculator would still be handy, those sites don't yet show every possible combo I want to imagine.

I have recently picked up a set of 15x7 ROH Extremes in 5 stud.
Supposedly they fit early Falcons up to EA.
They are +38 offset (140mm backspace).
Will they fit a Staz with 5 lugs?

Pre Au falcon is supposed to be like +7 or something which is starion territory, +38 is definitely not gonna work
