VK - Police Chaser Rim Size?

[philbio]

I want to fit some Police chaser rims to my VK and want to know the dimensions and offset I should be looking for to suit? (from memory it was something like 15 x 6.0J 43P) Thanks Chaps

any cop wheels from VB-VZ WILL fit. VE wheels wont fit properly.

Thanks, it was my understanding that the IRS models had different rim offsets (24P comes to mind), I recall once being told that the different offset would change the geometry of the suspension and make the car 'sit proud'.

What was the width for VK, 6 inch? Should 7 inch be considered?

The car is shod with 205/65 r15 at the moment.

Regards

I had 15" x 6" silver wheels on my old VH. they were 43P offset and fitted fine with 215 x 60 tyres.

Ive had 15x6, 15x7, & 16x7's all on my Calais & all fitted. The 15x7s (with 225x60x15 tyres) used to scrape a little under load with the super low springs in but other than that no problems.

Thank you gentlemen, it looks like I can't go wrong with a 15 x 6.0J 43P set.

I thought they were 15 inch from memory? I remember that 15inch tires were so expensive in '84.

Only the VE came out with these. But, the AWD one tonner(R.I.P) had 16X7 Chasher look rim.
