Hi. I'm new to this site and i have a question.
Although not a commodore question (I do own a VR) i would like to know what the manufacturer's largest wheel options were for a VB V8 commodore. (Standard included)
I am doing up an EH and am putting in a VB V8 power steer front cross member and fitting an VR EFI 304. My dilema is wheel sizes. According to the new VSB14 regs
- i am only able to go 15mm larger Outside rolling diameter of the largest wheel fitted to the model of the car. SInce i am using a commodore front end this is what i am going to go off.
- Also i can go 30% wider than manufacturer's widest option.
I need to comply with these regs as i have to get the car engineered.
So before i can order wheels and tyres and need this info. I can't afford to get this wrong and not comly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Glen
Going of your info there you would still have to go off the EH wheel size not the commodore just cos ya putting a commodore front end in it dont make it a commodore sorry.
So id say any 15 inch commodore rim will be ok.
Thanks Clutchy.
It was actually my engineers suggestion. I have to confirm with rego first to make sure this is what they will classify it as. As far as 15's go. I can vary the rim width with tyre profile which is why i was after the rolling diameter to see what max i can go to while still staying legal.
