VX and VE alloys?

[strayamayte]

I was looking to put some 19' VE SSV alloys on my VX S-Pac because I've just got the original 16s on there now and they look pretty crap. I know you have to get the centres of the VE's machined. But I was reading on another thread that you need to get new tyres because the VE's will rub or something? is this true or will they just bolt straight on once machined?
cheers.

Yeah wheels need machining. Wheel studs should also be replaced as they could snap, refer this thread, second page: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vz-holden-commodore-2004-2006/89689-ve-wheels-vz.html

I think wheels studs are 12mm on VZ and earlier, 14mm on VE. So the rim doesn't fit snug around the stock stud, all five holes are too big.

Tyres should be fine if they're 245/35/19. Unless your car is lowered.

The stud problem seems to be fixed when using GENUINE Holden wheel nuts for Alloys, not nuts for stockies, and not aftermarket. I've done 30,000 on my VE wheels so far and know people that have done triple that with no issues. You will need to replace the yres, as I believe a VE would have 245/40/19 on a 19" wheel, whereas you want 235/35/19, may 245 on the rear. 18" VE wheels are normally 245/45/18, and on a VX you'll want 235/40/18, again you can have 245 on the rear. If you want new wheels, on eBay you can get some good packages. I paid $1200 for mine, machined, with the right tyres and delivered to my door. SS wheels should be cheaper.

ive had tham on about 2 yres with 245-35-19 tyres with no proble fe2 suspenson the whell nuts are like cone shape so thay take up the holes

 

[strayamayte]

hmm a difference of opinion - I thought that might be the case haha

cheers, i'll keep contemplating this move, could be costly if it cocks up.

any ideas on pre-VE 19s that would look mint on my VX?

i dont know if these wheels have been machined ,someone will know, but ive had no problem, thay were on the car whan i got it thay were brand new

They physically would not fit on the car un-machined. There is no way around it.
