Has anyone fit these to a vc commodore on super low springs?

I'm talking about the top ones, I would need to adjust the centre bore somehow.. Shims??

I'm intending to roll the hell out the guards and think it should work but would love some real life feedback from those that have or those who are in the know.

My issue is most commodore rims lack ofset tragically!

Ok input please lads

Not a 100% on this one AJ, but I'm pretty sure +38 is about your limit with offset on a commodore. As for the centre bore you can just use hub rings. My 20's have a centre bore of 73 mm and the hub rings bring them back to 69.7mm. BTW my wheels are a +38 and that brings them right out to the lip of the guard.

Ewww why the hell would you want to put them on? Sorry mate but I reckon they would look awful...

[ajvx01]

My 84 Vk- honestly mate I think that of 90% of forum members wheels so no of fence taken, it's all personal taste..

Show bags- that doesn't seem right? Standard commy bar vp IRS ofset is +45 yea?? There's more than 7mm to be gained surely..
I appreciate your help mate not complaining at all just thought these should fit JUST, and was wondering how hard it is. Your measurements would mean its undo able?

[ajvx01]

I found a car with them on... This is the look I like, just can't find any info on how hard it was or what's required??

[showbags]

You may have to get the tape measure out and do it the hard way. Commodores range from +43 - + 48 depending on year and spec. I was just going by my VT. There is no way I would get a +20 on there.

I've run 19x8.5 +38 with a 245/35R19 but that was on a VY, scrubbed ever so lightly with a full car / boot.

[ajvx01]

Cheers guys, yea my vx had 245 on wh grange rims which were plus forty odd and had 7mm room..

My vc has 235s and has 22mm room now and with guards roll I hope for 27ish

Factor in some 225 and the fact my eyebrow is 230 and the tyre is 220 I think I should be ok?

[showbags]

If you've got that much room why not go a 10" wide rim with +50 offset on the rear? Will look way tuffer from the rear of the car.

[showbags]

Like thus........

[ajvx01]

While that is tuff I'm kinda sold on the rims I posted..
There slightly old school with wire wire and dish sorta simmons like whilst not being Simmons so there a bit more unique and then they have the new age euro/jdm flush offset

I'm just hoping someone has done similar wheels to a early girl to help me?

ps. thats gettodachopas old car, he had a thread on here somehwere, cant remember what offsets he ran though

[ajvx01]

Cheers I'm searching now!
Hopefully that will have answers

[nasty1]

wont fit at all full stop.....ive been toying with the idea of 5x120 +20 offset no chance lol.look around theres some imitation bbs style called bb5 they should fit

first pic looks like gaued is sitting on top of rim.second pic is with some hill to tuck them under

[ajvx01]

I checked his thread and there 5x120 et20s...
My tape measure and calculator say they should fit after a pretty thorough guard roll.

What car are you toying with? As first gens have loads more room than others...

[showbags]

Post up some pic when you've got them on. Read
Through that thread as well. I stand corrected.

[ajvx01]

Will do

Won't be for a while.. Already got some "ok" rims and currently I'm just setting up my suspension/guards to suit my future rims.
Thatl all be finished this week.
Rims are maybe in a month or so.
Tune/big bay tidy up first..
