VT Wheel Size

[1TUFVS]

Having a look for a set of rims to save up for, but SA has the 2" law.

Just wondering what size in " the stock VT rims are.

2" rule doesnt apply any more have a look through this thread The +2" Myth - Busted

edit: specifically:
(5) Despite the requirements of any other regulation or rule under the Act, a motor vehicle that
is required to comply with ADR 24 may be—
(a) equipped with tyres other than those listed on the tyre placard fitted to the vehicle,
provided that—
(i) the load of a tyre fitted is not less than the lowest load listed on the tyre placard;
and
(ii) the overall diameter of a wheel and tyre fitted is not more than 15 millimetres
greater than that advised in the Tyre and Rim Standards Manual (issued by the
Tyre and Rim Association of Australia) for the largest tyre size listed on the
placard and not more than 15 millimetres less than that advised in the Manual for
the smallest tyre size listed on the placard; or
(b) equipped with wheels wider than those listed on the tyre placard; or
(c) equipped with wheels with a rim diameter other than a rim diameter (if any) listed on the
tyre placard, provided that the rim diameter of a wheel fitted is not more than
50 millimetres greater than the largest diameter listed on the placard and not more than
50 millimetres less than the smallest diameter listed on the placard.

Depends on the model,

Executive, Acclaim and Berlina come with 15"s

Calais and S come with 16"s

SS come with 17"s

[justbad4you]

i thought all vt were 16 because of the brake rotor size?

Nah I have 15"s on mine, also I know I can fit 14"s on the back but they wont fit on the front due to the rotors.

I have a 14" spare, if I get a flat front Ill have to take a back one off and put it on the front then put the spare on the back, I really need to get another 15"

[shycountryguy]

[Mirkz]

[justbad4you]

go 20's! Lol that's what i have. Had them for 2 years with my car lowered too and i've never had coz issues with cops.i've even had cops pull up next to me for a chat and not once did they say anything. Your standard city pigs are nothing.it's the highway police that know their shit. Otherwise they'll never know.but 20 is as big as a vt can go.2 camber kits and heavy modification to the back of the rear quarter panels to get them to fit comfortably

There's a good reason that ^^ guys is called chimp.

The law on wheel size is 20% over standard. Nothing really changed in regards to what you can fit, they just changed the wording.
The only car to have 16" standard wheels is the VE.

jst go whateve size and then change ur tyre card to suit. buy them off ebay for like $15 i think,,, just make sure u dont get a dam hsv one

i'm just saying that life's too short to worry about legal wheel size.find something that really makes you happy when you look at them and go for it. For the record, before i bought mine, i called holden, the police, and vic roads (which is like the RAA) about legal wheel size, and they all said that you can have whatever size you want, as long as the final rolling diameter is NOT larger than the original.

[ch1mp]

oh yeah...the reason for this is because when the rolling diameter changes, your speedo will be out.you'll be travelling faster than what your speedo says

[galahs]

Executive / Acclaim / Berlina = 205/65/15 inch
Calais = 215/60/16 inch
S = 225/50/16 inch
SS = 235/45/17 inch

The S and SS shared the same tyre data plate meaning the S and SS can legally go 2 inches up to 19's
