What are the biggest size rims that will fit on a VE Clubsport R8?

[FPV 4 T]

Hey I'm looking at getting some new chromies on my Clubby and I would like to know if anyone knows what will fit on without scraping the body coz I don't wanna modify my body to fit any rims on... My mate has 22's on his WK Caprice and it looks sick but he had to do some work to his guards coz they scraped when he turned his wheels. I seen a VE SS-V in Perth with 22's on and it was awesome haha but I'm wondering if he needed to modify his body at all to fit them? I'm thinking of keeping my front wheels at 8" wide but not sure about how wide I want my rears yet... any info would be good... cheers

At the moment, there is VERY little range in after market rims for E-Seires HSVs simply because most don't fit over the brakes.

You can get 22 inch rims, but you have to go back to narrow rears that match the fronts... Which I see as a backwards step as it lowers the rear grip.

there's a VE SSV here running 22's... personally, while I normally live big rims, I think it looks wrong. Too big, and makes the car look too high. I reckon the 20's suit the clubsport... BUT the optional 20's on the SSV don't look as good as the standard 19's... once again, it's personal taste...

22" will probably look took big... 20" would sit nice a i reckon. And don't get chromies... will ruin a VERY NICE looking car!

Usually im not a fan of the chromed up rims, but it really suited the car for some reason

Dunno - to me it says the owner should be a huge African American with chunky jewelry and gold teeth. Not into the bling thing what so ever..... but most of you should have figured that one by now.

SNAP!!!

But I agree with Reaper... Commodores should not be blinged (or riced for that matter).
