Not all 19" rims will clear. Some 18" will it's the offset that matters. HSV 4 pot callipers will fit under 17".

You would have to check the offset against the 19" redline wheels. I have the VX GTS callipers on my VH, I tried the 17" rims on my VH that's how I know they will fit. I would only be guessing as to whether or not they would fit.

I had them on a VT Clubsport that I got bugger all for when I sold it so I put them on my VH. The other advantage of the HSV brakes is that apart from the fact they will fit behind your wheels is that they are a bolt on the front and require adapter plates for the back. I got mine on ebay. The Brembos will definitely need adapter brackets for front and rear.

I’m sure someone has fitted some brembos up to any early commodore.
