    Default Redline wheels over HSV brkaes?

    could I use the VE redline wheels as stockies/track wheels on my VE clubbie seeing as they fit over the Brembo brakes?? or are the HSV brakes just way too big??

    sorry if its been asked just a quick question

    The caliper size maybe a problem, as you know, thems big calipers on the HSV.
    I am not sure how the size of the Brembo caliper compares.
    What size are the Redline wheels? 19"? Maybe borrow a wheel and try it.
    What size has your Clubby? My GTS has 20s.

    20 inch pentagons, they come factory on 19s but im told most holden wheels (SSV, supersports etc) dont clear the caliper's. Just thought the redlines might clear as the brembo stick out a bit too

    Id be very surprised if the redlines didnt fit over the HSV brakes. HSV seem to make the have the biggest (read widest) calipers simply because they are HSV and have to have the biggest.

    Typically, its only the supersports that wont fit over HSV or aftermarket big brake upgrades
