Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that the originals are 17"

This is what appears to be the completely stock VR Clubby that I finally managed to take a picture of because it has the wheels I want, and they look like 17" wheels to me.

I have 16 x 8" on my wagon and run 225's tyres without any problems, but they don't leave to much to play with in the wheel arches

Well i have 18X8 on my ute and they dont scrub... if the offset is right and suspension is lowered correctly you shouldnt have problems....

Thanks guys, I'm just trying to be 1000% certain that 8" wheels won't cause me any trouble :).

VS clubby wheels are actually 3 spoke. Got copies of them on my equipe. They are 17s.

Also you mentioned the optimal size for the buick, but the VS doesnt have the old 3800 it has the newer ecotec which has different headers I think?

EDIT: oh and 8 inches is about 200mm right? I have 235s on mine and there is no scrubbing.

Yeah, I had assumed that the exhaust size was sort of appropriate for both engines.

I'm not a fan of 3 spoke wheels.

I'm going to look around of course, I might decide I like something better than the VR Clubby wheels.
