Many thanks,

Anth,
No problems, the more questions asked the more I learn.
Mike,
The problem with the VE commodore rear suspension on the new CR is that the distance hub face to hub face is still quite wide which reduces the amount of dish available on the rear wheels and I don't feel like re-engineering the rear end similar to what you did with the AU rear end. After taking some more measurements I could possibly go to 11" but it's not the width I'm chasing so much as deeper dish.
Maybe if I had been awake to this before buying the shorter half shafts it may have been an option.
I,m leaning more towards the Team 3 wheels at this point, I need to move forward (some damn politician said that) while the Aussie dollar is performing well, sorry about the 007 Aston comment although it looks like you've solved that.

Dennis
