Would love to see a pic of them.
Nice wheels, what sort of money do they go for?
Hard to find a wheel 20x10 with an offset higher than +40
Having trouble finding some to clear the rear Bembros. Koya SF04 the closest so far.

Pics are easy, these are all the Vossens owners I’m aware of on JC but there could be others.

You’ll see these cars all run 275’s on a 10.5 inch rear with a bit of a stretched look except for waynebatt who runs a 10 inch.

Whether you like these type of offsets is a matter of taste, personally I’m a fan of less aggression and more width.

After I’ve worn the rears on my car I’m going to experiment with a 285/30R20 tyres.

These are a 3 piece KWC forged rim 20x10 on the rear with a +50 offset.

I had them made for my VE Clubsport and they fitted over the HSV brakes but I ended up putting them on my Ute instead. This is them with 285/30R20 on the rear.





This is the same rims with 295/30R20 tyres and they never scrubbed even with a load in the back and this car was reasonably low.






If you want perfect fitting rims then go the forged ‘made to order’ route and expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000 per rim depending on the manufacturer.

Cast rims are usually cheaper with locked in offset but again it depends, as high end rim manufacturers charge good money for high end cast rims and some will offer custom offsets by machining the base plates.

If you go for cheaper 'off the shelf' at the local tyre shop cast rims then good fitments will be very limited.

Of course all this is general rule stuff and there are always exceptions.

I don't know if it's still the case and I'd guess it is but with the VE's there were 'off the shelf' rims being offered which had BMW offsets and they were often too aggressive for the Commodore so you do need to be careful not to fall into that trap just because everything else on paper fits ok.

Love your work panhead! (And your Ute ).... Sure saved me a lot of time writing. And yeah, head over to my "show off your ride" page OP and there's more photos on there. And also more photos in the vfs1 gallery on the vossen website. And just so you know, I am running VF clubby AP RACING brakes front and rear and the rims clear quite easily. I can provide more photos if you need.

Comes down to personal preference I guess and how much money you have to spend. I could have spent mine on the cam ect straight away as you suggested, and look like every other VF on the road. Or do some visual/handling mods first to stand out from the crowd a bit and do the rest later when the money is there.

And I don't really agree that the 6.0l or the LS3 has no go standard.

annnnnnd theres only about another 10,000 people out there running the same rims. Yes i do agree they look good, but simply looking good isnt the whole story. Individuality is a rare commodity these days.

And not sure what your obsession with forged is either.... not the be all and end all. Not unless you're going to give them a real bashing on the track or something.

What a waste, that cam money could be put towards forced induction or better still why not fit coilovers, throw on some rims with fat sticky tyres, a blower or twin turbos with a cam to suit and all the auxiliaries needed to make it come together so you are actually getting into the territory of the quick cars.

Why waste a few grand on a cam to still get dusted by a turboed 6 cylinder Ford.

You can’t help car enthusiasts from being stupid with their money, the way they spend it on mods to personalise their rides so they don’t look like every other run of the mill family performance car.

I’ve read a few times where you’ve been asking about a basic spring setup to lower your car, that must only be for show as the Redline 2 setup is already reasonably good compared to introductory level aftermarket suspension packages.

What power adders have you fitted to your wagon?



Peace friends, there is no need to criticise other members cars, if you don't like them then fair enough but it doesn't hurt to keep the comments to yourself as no one here should really care how others spend their money.

Dusting cammed Commodores is one of my pastimes but it is turning into a hobby
