Hi Gents!
Moneys too tight to mention.
That being said, I've found perfect rims on gumtree, they're off a VY Commy. Will they fit onto my VF sportwagon?

Rims is an area I'm totally out of the loop with so any info would be great.

VF centre bore is 66.9 mm
VY centre bore is 69.5 mm

So should fit right?

If not, what mods shall I do to make it fit?

Thanks.

I can't answer off the top of my head whether they will fit, others will know for sure … but I'm kinda/sorta fairly certain they won't.

If they don't, the mods you'll need to make them fit properly would cost more than finding a set that does fit, IMHO.

Ring a big wheel company like Tempe Tyres in Sydney or a big one in Qld,I don’t think they do fit as the bolt pitch diameter is different and by those numbers you put up the centre will need a spacer ring.

The first thing you'll need is hub centric rings to take up the slack otherwise the vibration will drive you nuts.

The standard offset for a VF is +48 so it would help if the VY is the same as the VY rims came in +43, +45 and +48.

Centre design also comes into play for brake clearance as does rim diameter.

What are the spec of the VY rims you wish to fit?

The PCD is the same on both models 5x120

stick3 is right, the wheel studs on the VE onwards are thicker.

Your on the Gold Coast.
Guess you need tyres, and as you are short of the ready, you might pick up rims and tyres at a hot price to suit to save you money......Am I right?
If so call into the tyre shop in Johnson St Southport about opposite the BP gas station, and take a look at what these guys can offer.....You will be surprised, I'm sure.
You can choose quality tyres, and I mean quality with often 80% tread left on them at a VERY good price fitted.
They also often have used wheels as well.

Unsure of the specs other than 20x9.5 Advanti guantlets. But your advice has already made me question the deal.
