VPs with IRS
I was on Wheel king looking at rims and it said that you cant put VT internationals on VPs with IRS. True?

i don't see why they wouldn't fit straight on, and i've seen plenty of calais with internationals. [click]. maybe they need spacers or machining?

partly true. VP IRS have a different offset or something
1995 Manual HSV Clubsport
Wade Cam :: 9.2:1 CR :: Pacemaker headers :: Twin 2.5" Exhaust :: VT Brakes
1991 Supercharged VN Berlina
9 PSI SC14 Intercooled :: Genie headers :: Twin cats :: HM Twin 2.25 exhaust :: 3.45:1 LSD

/\ correcto, VP with IRS are the only one to have a different offset. Either use spacers/longer studs (i have this for my grange wheels) or do the simple fix of changing to VR onwards hubs (which is what will be on the cards when i can be bothered)

Only if you don't want your wheel coming off doing 100ish in the hills
I got out of it cheaply, bit of paint on the valance, 3 snapped studs. Ended up getting 10 brand new longer ones.

Well spacers are illegal to start with, so you'd imagine so.
Calais man
the VT to VZ wheels sit about 15mm closer then the VP IRS, the VP IRS off set is 28p and the VT onwards is somewhere around 40p-45p im not 100% sure, all depends on tire width to weather there 245's or 235's.

Pretty much in lamans terms, the VP arse ends are skinny as shit!

With the proper wheels they came with (that no one has anymore) they are actually wider then the non IRS car, both front and back

Jason, I still have my 15's they're in the garage! I mainly went for the bigger rims for two reasons: I had the money at the time, and I lost an International centrecap.. It was easier to buy the rims than get another cap
Would RTS have the same problems? I doubt it but I just wanted some confirmation.

Nope, the offset change was only on IRS cars.
