advice wanted

[bjk87y]

hi i am after advice i just brought a white vp ss 5 speed and have been offered some vy clubsport rims and tyres at a good price and was intrested to know wat you guys and girls would think wat they would look like it now has 16x8 simmons i think they are b4s all something, so wat u reckon

[1991_Vn2nV]

what size are the Vy clubby rims? If they are a really good price i would jump at the deal man.

[bjk87y]

they are actually the vx r8 rims sorry my mistake and they are 18x8 in silver

[Doctor Sodways]

MMMMM, tough, the R8 rims are nice, are they genuine? They would fill out the guards nicely and the silver would make the car, do it do it do it!!!

[MT269U]

i agree. its hard to come by wheels like these i think u should go for it.

[1991_Vn2nV]

R8 rims makes it even better. Can i ask what price u can get em for?

[mouce]

Hell...get them, if you don't like them then sell them off for more than you paid. Simple as that.

[bjk87y]

i have just been told that they may not fit as apparently the vp with irs had a different offset and i need spacers or something like that or change the hubs to vr vs spec is this true

[bjk87y]

anyone know anything about this

[1991_Vn2nV]

I thought all commodores had the same offset? But im not totally sure. Best shot is to go in and ask at a mag wheel centre or something.

[bjk87y]

thanks for your replys i asked about the hubs and they are the same as all the other commodores they are actually the gold vx r8 rims so i am not sure what i am going to do with them as they dont look that good on the car but they are geuine so i am thinking about getting them resprayed shadow chrome if that is possible here are some pics of the car minus the r8 wheels forgot to get photo with them on

[1991_Vn2nV]

They are still 18's though arent they?

Are the wheels still on the car? If so get a picture!

[STEALTHY™]

everyone will tell you the VPs have a different offset, but i've tried many wheels on my car and they fit fine.

thats before i have the GTO diff, i had the stock one for about a year, and had a set of 16in clubby wheels, 17in senator wheels, and 18 in ANZ wheels, all fit the same as my non IRS cars.

Also if you ever want to sell your car, you know who to PM

[bjk87y]

cheers for your replys they are 18 rims does anybody no anywere in newcastle were i can take them to get resprayed cheers

[bjk87y]

here is a photoshop image of wat it looked like as i cant put the tyres on the car again until tuesday as of work tell us wat u think

[1991_Vn2nV]

Looks goodin the photoshop....will look better in real life cause the wheels are bigger yeah?

[HoZy]

that photoshop makes em look 12/13" haha

Cheers
MaT

[bjk87y]

yeah it will look awesome and go awesome after the engine gets rebuilt lol

[bjk87y]

here a some pics with them on i like them so i am just going to leave them that colour and also i would like your thoughts on a bodykit for it i want to keep the foglights on the front if i change front bars does that mean i have to take them off

[stocky]

looks good. is that a photo or just edited in photoshop, cause those wheels look small compared to the wheel arch

[Doctor Sodways]

That looks like an awefully high ride height, but the colours go well together

[savage1987]

wow.

LOWER YOUR CAR DUDE

just thought i'd put that out there.

[bjk87y]

yeah thanks the car will be lowered with superlow springs it didnt help that i had stockies on the other side of the car but it normally sits at fe2 will look better with superlows

[STEALTHY™]

The SS kit is the best looking kit for VP/VNs

And keep the spotties, its not a real SS or International if it doesn't have the spotties.

[NOGEN 3]

And no probs with tyre scrape on the inner guards? I did, even with the standard FEII on the rear with the 17's! I got 5mm spacers and VT wheel studs(5mm longer) . Gotta get myself some VR A-Arms on the back 2 bring the track out abit...
