does anybody know the widths of the VH/VK, VL, VN diffs and the wheel offsets for these models. i wanted to fit my VT SS rims (currently on my VN) on my VH V8 but it looks like the wheel offsets are totally different. possibly considering upgrading to a VL borgwarner diff, i understand these are wider and have a 4 spider LSD then the VH/VK salisbury diff (2 spider LSD)and have a higher ratio also
cheers

Ok a standard VL diff is 2 pinion, non lsd. Only way to get a 4 pinion LSD VL diff is either out of a VL turbo or V8, however not all are LSD. Yes they are wide, i think 12.5 wider either side, so about 25mm wide than a Sals.
A VN fiff is even wide, about 45 mms wide.
I think the wheel off sets are the same in VBs right up to VS, live axles, IRS has a different offset. I don't know to much about wheel offsets so i can't help there

A lucky owner of 2 SL/E Commodores, a rare VB SL/E and a 2 tone VC SL/E. Just need a VH SL/E and have the set!
yeah, i did mean the turbo VL diff which i beleive is the 4 spider LSD with 3.45:1 ratio. i tried putting the VT SS rims on the back of the VH but the inside of the wheel was hitting the shock. i guess maybe the VT SS rims are for the IRS offset and won't fit. (weird as they did fit on a VK 6cyl i had before) still would be good to know the exact differences as i'm intending to build a VK with VL turbo diff(as there are many more ratio's avail for the borgwarner diff where as the salisbury is only avail upto 3.55:1 i'm told and i wanna use either 3.7 or 3.9:1 ratio) as i'm intending to do some drag racing with it.
