    Well AFAIK all the Holden range except the Redline range (?) got the same size brakes, so I'm guessing the chasers will.

    On a side note, its not a real burnout if you have to fit smaller tyres to do it.

    Wow, you mean someone at Holden actually thought it might be a better idea to fit bigger brakes to V8's, took em long enough.

    Looking at the ute brochure recently it said that all the spare rims were 16" on omega to ssv, although my ssv had the optional 17" spare.
