    Default Will 14s fit a 3.8 VS Wagon?

    As the title says really. Seen a lovely set of Crager 14" alloys and tyres for very little money for what they are on eBay, but I don't know if they'll fit over the front brakes on the VS wagon (3.8L V6 one). With a bent steering rack I can't drive there to try them on, but I have another car to collect them with if I get them.

    Sooo, will 14"s fit?


    Cheers

    Probably not, but the offset will most likely be off anyway. I put some Chev pattern American Racing wheels on my VS and they scrubbed everywhere. Find out the offset. It will be a number like +45...

    The offset on the fronts was right, the rears would have stuck out like mad (-20 offset on a 9" wide wheel!!!!) but I would have done something to sort out the arches.

    It's a shame as the wheels are awesome, but ah well, the wheels I have on there are nice, just one is a bit bent, but will just see about getting that straightened.

    I just posted this in your ride thread. Sort out some wide white wall tyres and 15" stockies. You might find someone who will ship them to uk. There is millions of them, try eBay Aus. They will be black and dirty... Bit of silver metallic paint and you're set. Would set of the matte ratrod style you're taking.
