    The Vauxhall Cavalier over here was similar to the VH, and loved them on rims like this:

    I have 17" and big brakes....I wouldn't go any bigger than 17" cause you may run in to issues with a RWC

    plus the ride is horrible with bigger than 17" I chose 16"s as there is a reasonable profile of rubber to "cushion" the ride, rubber is reasonably priced and you can fit reasonable brakes behind them, In hindsight I would have liked to try 17"s on my car to fit 330mm rotors hit im still happy with what I have.

    As regards Simmons wheels I think you will find 15" & 16" use the same centre, it's the actual rim that is different. I could stand to be corrected here though if anyone knows differently. I have VT brakes behind my 15" Simmons, only just.

    no bigger than 17inch and something with some dish look the best on a VH
    I just managed to squeeze 330mm rotors under my 16 inch Walky's - had to move the wheel weights though

    I have a set of Simmons OM16s I might be willing to part with, they need a good cleanup, but a very nice wheel
