    Howdy guys,

    Just wondering how big a rim I'll need to fit 330mm front discs?

    I'm guessing 19s but would rather pay for 18 inch tyres :)

    Cheers

    James

    All Holden and HSV 17's and 18"s will fit over either of the 330mm disc and calipers setups that were available from VR-VZ.
    A lot of aftermarket 17's and even some aftermarket 18"s won't fit over.
    I have 350mm front discs and my yellow spare is a HSV 18" wheel/tyre which fits easily.
    The biggest VT wheel available back then was an 18 on the GTS300 and that fitted over Harrop 4 piston calipers and 343 discs.

    i upgraded to 330mm rotors on my vz. the 17's which are standard on a sv6 fitted but there wasnt much clearance.

    On my old VL I had VN GrpA 330 discs and calipers under 16" Walkinshaw rims and there was less than 3mm clearence but never had a problem, just make sure you dont use stick on weights in the area covered by the caliper.
