Where is the tyre placard?

My VP doesn't seem to have a tyre placard anywhere. I've checked the glove box, around all the doors and under the bonnet with no luck.

So it looks like i'll have to get a new one. Can someone please post pics showing where to put the tyre placard? and maybe someone can let me know what tyre placards say you can have bigger wheels

Thanks in advance

pretty sure they're on the top of the front, above the radiator. be careful with getting a placcard from a newer car, as placards are slightly different between holden/HSV and it'll be pretty obvious that your car didn't come with 17" wheels from the factory

Check with your insurance company as to how much bigger than standard you can go. Tyre shops will have the info regarding difference in rolling diameters for different size tyres for speedo accuracy etc.

tyre placards are usually placed on radiator panel(right or left of bonnet lock)...or around strut tower,also in glove box.
if you cant find it,it's been taken off,as it is only a sticker.
