Offroad wheels/tyres for a VX Commodore?

[ShitBoxEdition]

They all match, 65 number is size of the side wall in percentage of the wide width.
So for example if your tire is 100 mm wide and is 50 than side wal is 50 mm if tire with 100 width is 70 than stil same width but did wall is 70 mm and the whole tire is 40 mm taller ,

My tire is 70 so slightly taller side wall and with it over all diameter of the tyres

Cheers mate.

Only 1 or 2 of those are mine, Dad's had em lying around as spares. Wasn't sure which is which, or what vehicle they're off. Pretty sure Commodore, could be wrong tho.

Next week, I'll either chuck some offroad tyres on em, then lift my car next year. Or, lift my car & chuck some Open Country or Bridgestone Deulers on em in the next few months ...

15", I've got four 15" spares ready to go, just not understanding why I can't. I know what I've been told, wheel arches/dimensions/etc, I get it, kinda.

Organised to have it lifted: $2k.
Expensive option: lift it, then go for the Toyo Open Country AT’s/Bridgestone Deulers?
Cheap option: don't lift it & go a cheaper (is it cheaper?) option, like old mate with the GOODRIDE mudd tyres?

Short term: go the cheaper option. Then, next year get it lifted etc? Will be able to get the ball rolling next week, just tryin to understand/clarify things beforehand.

What size 15".....Geez, there is a million different combinations.....Not even going to attempt to start naming them

the 65 is the percentage of the width...ie 205/65X15 is 205MM wide, with 65 being 65% of 205 being the height of the sidewall and 15" being the diametre of the centre of the tyre

You need to actually give us a total size.....ie 205/65X15 is a total size. Not just a partial size....

Frig, that 55 is a partial size....15" is a partial size...

Frig, you couldn't put a 265/70X15 on your rims and expect it to bolt on...

Go and do some research about tyre sizing....Not just a partial size like you are doing...It's driving us batty

 

[vc commodore]

can a VX have 205 tyres? What does the tyre placard say?

Yes...Standard was a 205/65X15....

 

[vc commodore]

U can put almost any tire on it
What mater if it fits in the wheel arch and the suspension and brake calliper, also the diameter
Standart tire/spare for Vx is 195/65R15, I think
My is about 18 mm taller so be mind ful with your speedo ie it will slightly under-estimate your speed

Plus wider tired do not do better on gravel
You want tires taller and bigger side wall so u can run lower pressure
Check any 4x4 sites
I do a bit off-road

Standard tyre in a 15" is a 205/65X15.....They go up from that

I put up pictures of the rims/tyres, with the specs/measurements. What more can I give ya?
Just wanna know if I can go tyres like old mate. Or do I need to lift it 2" before I can do that?

that wheel hits the inner guard if it doesn't why is the inner guard damaged? Will the road worthy bloke pass it? How does it matter if you have lift or not when the suspention compresses does the wheel will hit the body?

I give up.
You are obviously not taking any notice of given advice regarding tyre size or suspension limitations / mods, just asking the same questions.
Fit what you like, and find out for yourself.

Edit ........ in your photos of the wheels, there is a different size rim. I will let you detective which one.
