AN Aggressive Wheel Treatment on a VE

[HamaTime™]

The top G8 is 'baller.

The one below which has merged a GXP front bumper with an E1 HSV bumper looks atrocious.

Those Varstoenn's look good too? Guessing thats the 9.5 +22 fitment? Any issue's with clearance?

Mine are 9.5" all around at +22 offset. These only just clear the hsv brakes by about 3-4mm so the +30 won't even come close to clearing the hsv brakes . Fronts and rears need to be rolled and slightly pumped to be able to have it fit properly all around the rims were poking outside the guard by about 1-2cm but with a bit of camber a guard adjustments it now sits just outside .

Good stuff, if you have some photos put them up.

I presume if it clears the HSV AP's it will clear Redline Brembo's?

My E3 Clubby rolling on Bavaria BC10's 20x10's all round

Front: +35 offset with 255/35r20 Nitto Invo's
Rear: +48 offset with 275/30r20 Bridgestone Re050's

No guard work(only mod was trimming the bracket down alittle that holds the rear to the gaurd)

Just went through your thread mate, Looks the goods.

My new set will be the same width/offset in the rear (but on 245's) but not sure if I should go 9.5 up front or stay with 8.5 and go full retard with the offset (nearing 0 lol) any negatives you found from going that wide up front? Slower steering?

I may be bias but I reckon dish really suits the VE.

No doubts about it, that looks tough as, especially in the second pic where you really show off how wide 10" rears are. I reckon you should have left the original R8 rear spoiler on, makes the HSV's look so much tougher, they sort of look underdone without it.

Would be even cooler if the Bavaria BC10's came with an offset that allowed some dish. As Troy said, dish on VE's looks tits, fills out the wider factory flared guards

Thanks mate...yeah i'm not really a spoiler person but i must admit the E3 spoilers do look good on the clubby but ive got a walky carbon fibre lip spoiler here ready to fit, thats the thing with the e series hsv's is that you cant run too much dish due to the brakes unless you do major gaurd work & crazy offsets.
