Nooooo.... they are fugly. Plus 20's and VT's in general are not a great idea.

If not, what would i need to look for to find ones that do?

1. Rims that will look good.
2. 19's MAX and a 8inch width max IMO

cheers.

No worries.

If the question is will those rims fit on your car, not sure, most wheel shops should have more common sence then to sell you the worst looking rims I've ever seen. Will 20's fit on your car, yes.

What, apart from the visual aspect, is the advantage of putting 18, 19, 20 or 22 inch wheels on a commodore? I mean I understand 4 x 4 owners doing it, just means they will not fall so far into the holes they drive over. Although they(4x4 owners) usually do it by using very high profile tyres. But again, what is the advantage/benefit?

I just looked at those wheels. They look like they should be a wall hanging in the Vatican

[Cameron P]

obviously there is no advantage.. its just the visual aspect..

19's and 19's are purely for the visual aspect, 20's and 22's I have NO idea on a VT-VZ...

[Cameron P]

22's wont fit.. lol

[Jonesy484]

20's fit but can be a bitch, due to rubbing, and the diametre of the wheel can effect your speedo, and all round a bad idea, 18's or 19's are the go

[TI3VOM]

22's wont fit.. lol

It's been done before mate!

[GEN3RATD]

22's wont fit.. lol

No such thing as wont lol.

[Jonesy484]

with enough persuasion you got get 26's in there :P

[ducker85]

20's fit just get your gaurds rolled and make sure they have clearence on full lock. My mate has 20's at FE2 height and no worries at all

car on 20's

the suspension nad gaurds are the same through VT-VZ

[johnno010684]

will 20's be too much with superlows?

[Jonesy484]

will 20's be too much with superlows?

the tyre won't tuck under the guard but you may still need to have the guards rolled

[johnno010684]

wouldnt that only depend on how wide you go?

[Jonesy484]

yeah 8, 8.5 are the normal 20" width

[sxc_sound]

20"s fit fine on a VT i run SL all round, used to have SSL on the rears, 245/30/R20 tyres with no issues.

You CANNOT make this statement without disclosing the widths and offsets of the wheels.

"Saying 20's will fit fine on a VT" is a rubbish and inaccurate statement. Saying 20's that are X's wide and have Y offset will fit fine with SL front and SSL rear is accurate.

So annoying when people make these sort of general statments not knowing what they are talking about or do not provide enough crucial details in their answer and then have members taking that advice on face value and a couple weeks downt he track be get threads on the topic of "Someone told be blah blah blah and not my wheels rub on the inner guard at full lock"

If you're going to give such a definative answer, ensure you provide the OP with ALL the details he needs to ensure he ends up without issues.

If you get it wrong, he can damage inner guards, outerguards, strut, etc.

well my guess is that; if my VT calais international wheels are 235(can't remember profile atm)R17 48p offset if his wheels were 245/30R20 with 48p offset then his wheels/tyres are 5mm wider on each side then my factory stock wheels/tyres and they wont hit a damm thing, unless its f*cking slammed on SSSSL's and the gaurds aren't rolled.

Ask your local tyre shop and they will know the correct offsets that fit or try seaching the forum's here and PM the guys with 20s asking what offset they have. 9 times outta 10 it'll be the factory 48p

18's or 19's are the go

Trust me, 19" (x 8"/8.5", respect to jesterarch ) are plenty big enough. There's too much room for error with 20"s, the risk is too high when compared with the small benefits.
I have 19" VY Sigs at the moment, and im getting 19" Advantis (of some type) soon, and they both look pleeeeenty big enough, especially when accented by low profile tyres.
Just another opinion.
