2010 VE CalaisV
Any advice tips or knowledge would be choice.

I bought on gumtree 16inch wheels from an Omega VE which the seller reassured me would fit my car. So under the impression it would be sweet on my MY10 VE CalaisV I brought them home and tried to fit them on that evening only to stupidly find out the brake callipers on my car just scrape on the inside of the rims.

So my question is can I get 16 or 17 inch wheels for the Calais or nope? Cause it would be ideal to just have a a set of either of those sizes because tyres are a lot cheaper.

What's the factory size rims??

What tyre sizes or more importantly what rim diameters are listed on the tyre placard?? On the door jam on the drivers side.

I guess if your 16's are scraping then 17's should be fine. I had a VE SV6 until just before Christmas and from memory I thought the original steel spare was 16" (could be wrong) is your Calais a V8 or a V6. V8's do have front brakes slightly larger than the V6.
