    Default VY s pack wheels

    Guy's, i bought a set of VY s'pak wheels, 16", to put on my VN Berlina.
    The wheels fit great on the rear but the front hubs foul the centre caps so i have left them off.
    Is there a way of changing the grease cap so the wheel caps will fit?

    Another quick question is that my speedo seems out by 10k's at 110K/hr.
    Would this be because im using 225x50.16R tyres or may it be because i changed my dash to a tacho style out of a Lexcen.
    Any help would be appreciated as im new to Commodores.

    Steve

    With that tyre combination your speedo is 0.3% off.... So at 100km/h you are doing 100.3km/h... Nothing to worry about.

    What makes you think your speedo is off?

    It seems as though when i am doing 80k/hr all the other traffic passes me, i speed up to about 90k's and they still pull ground on me and finally around 95k's im keeping up.
    Now allowing for most people doing around 5k over the limit that puts 80k's at about 90k's in my car.

    I have noticed the Lexcen cluster curcuit board is orange whereas the Holden item is blue, is there a difference there perhaps?

    Hmmm people have swapped to lexcen dashes before without problems.. Is the top speed still 220?

    Was it out of a V6 also or a V8 cluster?

    good point.....

    According to my GPS my speedo starts getting innacurate from around 100kph (need to see 107kph on the dash speedo to read 100kph on the GPS)
