I thought they came with 15"?, Anyway i myself wouldn't go past 17" I think even HSV didn't go past that with the VP's.
But i do like the VT Senator 17" rims myself and with your white car i think they might look great.

the series 1 vp execs came out with the 14, the series 2 had 15 on everything. i reckon those vp gts(vr clubsport) rims would look a treat. better then anything crome(not a fan of crome)

fu2 is right. if u only wanna go to 16's tho try lookin on wheelsdirect.com.au they have knock off style holden rims available in different sizes brand new. they also do genuine aswell (i think)

It depends on what state you are in as to what size you can go to. It is often a misconception that it's only a 2" increase. Usually it is so that the tyre/rim rolling diameter does not change within a predetermined margin - in Qld it is +15 mm or - 26mm.

The VP exec series 2 is 14" stock and i reckon ROH Vapors 17" Shadow Chrome looks crazy, i also saw a VP with ROH Furys that looks good as well but a the reverybodys got em

There is also a great place to see the rims and they have a range from all model Holden's HSV's. http://www.##################/wheel.htm

series 2 onwards and series 1 vacationer is 15", if you have a S2 with 14's i want to see it as the wheels will not fit over the 290mm rotors and calipers that came on S2 and S1 vacationer

I was just out on my tyre placard it has 3 tyres sizes.
R14 twice with 185. and R15 with 205.

the whole 2" + myth is for basically insurance. as mentined above you will find in most road autority's guidline (available on their respective websites) that its the total diameter of rim and tyree, so if you go one inch bigger on the wheel and 1 inch smaller on the profile you will be exactly the same, that said i beleive on vn/vp's that 19's are on the very edge of that diameter, and that alone would provide a very bumpy ride

so is 15inch rims with 245s thats over the 2x limit hey

I have seen at the place i got my rims 15x7-215's. they had there 15x6 235's.

you don't have to get them rolled if it's stock height,
all depends on how low your car is i guess.

I think your guards will be safe with 17", My car originally had 17" VS Senator rims on it and it was very low, My nephews mate has a VN with 17" Group A i think they are I'll look around but he has that slightly lowered also no prob's, I think it's the tyre width that might hold you back if you go wider on tyre size. I think it's the straight cut rear guard that is the biggest problem?

thats what happened to me, as soon as the back was filled with passengers i realised that my wheels didnt fit under the guards wen going around corners! mine are 17x9 ROH RT's so there fat! would a camber kit fix this? my mate has the back guards flattened, i think he just bent them so that theres no lip

ps i need my guards rolled to fix this casue i cant drive around with stockys on the bak forever, its ful on cop bait.. who can do it for cheap?
