Load rated tyre for the VF

[BK Performance Wheels]

Hey Guys for many of you buying VF commodores you will notice that the cars no longer come out with tyres placards with several fitments. They now only state the one size which for all the SS's, sv6's evokes's and ute's they will all have a minimun of either 100v or 102v load rating which means legally there was no tyre in the world that could fit with that load rating in a 20" that would suit from 8.5 to 10" wide rims. We got wind of it and have been for the last year organising and preparing to do a 255/35/20 102V which fits perfectly over a 9.5 but legally can fit on an 8.5 up to a 10" rim in 20". And today they turned up. So from now on legally you can have a 20" tyre to put on your VF. HSV and the calais have lower load rating's too, i believe they have a 96. Anyhow we have designed our wheel range around this tyre to. (To give you an idea Holden actually sent out an email to all the franchises stating there will be no more putting 20's on VF's). due to this tyre issue. So you now we will be selling our 255/35/20 at $200 a tyres and it's an asymmetric pattern. Cheers Matt :surprise:

Hang on. The VF HSVs are on the forged 25th Anniversay wheels tho :-/

HSV's have a lower load rating.

HSV's have a lower load rating.

That's what I assumed, but wasn't sure.

Kinda funny how VF HSV 20s will be illegal on all VF Holdens after all the drama's with the HSV copy's in the VE range

Hey guys just ordered a vf sv6 and starting to find that it's not only the tyres that are hard to find for 20s to suit a vf but also a wheel ? Any advice at all would be great cheers

Should be the same rims as VE?

 

[BK Performance Wheels]

I agree it shouldn't be any different to the VE i believe

What is it about the wheel that someone has told you you can't get?
