With the AU's, I'm pretty sure that the offset is still the same, so yo wont have problems with the wheels sticking inside the guards.

If you reckon the EF/L XRs look better than the AU XR, you need to see a shrink! LOL!
As for the engines, they are lots better particularly in the area of head gaskets and the VCT is great packaged with the
IRS. I drove an AU yesterday with full exhaust, XR6 HP cam, tuned with 5 speed and 3.7 diff gears and it was magnificent.
With regards to there being only a limited amount of wheels you can get, that's just plain wrong and I'm surprise no one has corrected you yet. AU's share the same offset as the BA/F so there's a stack of wheel options.
I do however, agree with your point about spacers.
Cheers,
GK
P.S AU XRs have 3.45 diff gears.
