    ok i finally got some rims for my ride, picked up some genuine HSV WH grange 18"s

    picked up two this morning from a ebay auction, and the other two im buying off a mate

    however, i know the VP calais wheel offset is different to other commodores, i put the two on the front, but its bloody close to the strut, and i cant put the center caps on cause the hub pushes them out

    so do i need spaces on the back and on the front or just the back or wat?

    cheers

    What tyres are on them? Normally have a 245, change it to a 235 for anything pre VT.

    As I posted in the other thread, hit the dust cap back a little and remove some of the bracing on the back of the center cap and it will fit fine.
