    people are confusing me. a tyre professional at beaurepairs says the black interceptors under vn hubcaps are 15x6 then another guy tells me they are all 15x6 but the ones on cop cars are a 15x7. where there 2 different interceptor rim sizes made???

    I think there is more like 3 different sizes!:) You can buy the 15x7's with new tires on them for about $120 a wheel down at Holden, buy the tires and get the wheels for free :D

    yeah thought so. coz i went to put 235's on the vn black interceptors and they wouldnt fit but the guy said if i had the 7 inch interceptors they would.? By the way, whats the widest tyre size you can fit under a vn ?? i heard 255?? on a 15 inch tyre too.

    Well I have 235's on my VP and they would scrub on the inside if 3 fatties were in the back :) but the offset is all wrong and I have heaps more than 20 mils left on the other side, so yeah 255's might fit, 245's will for sure, easy, with a good wheel offset that has the wheel right in the center. I don't know if 255's would fit on the front :p
