Hey guys I just signed up here cause I own a VK Calais, and I'm really passionate about it, and most of the older holdens from around the same time frame.

Now what I wanna know is what the biggest size VY senator signature rims I'd get on it. I've got 17" VR clubby rims on it atm, an it looks like all I'd fit in the way ov VY rims is probably 18s and nothing any bigger. Most of the VY rims I've stumbled across though have been 20's. How would I go about fitting 20's, or is it just not possible? Anyone know how much 18's would cost? Cheers.

VR s2 Acclaim/VK IS GONE :(
20's are a no go unless you get new struts - i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure 20's scrub with stock struts, but 19's with go on!
Also Vy's didn't come with 20's only 19's and down. Ve's are the first with 20's.
i hope this helps! Sweet as ride BTW verrrry nice! Goodluck

The VY Senator Signature wheels you see around in 20" are copies. Wouldn't trust them at all. Even the 19" Genuine Senator Signature wheels crack from the design of the wheel.

I've never heard of genuine HSV wheels cracking

So the fakes are no good? The 17s on it at the moment scrape a little if there are a couple of people in the back seat. Only if you go over bumps though, as the cars been lowered a bit. It only scrapes a little on the outside of the wheel on the edge of the guard, and does no damage to the tyre, but they are pretty fat wheels so I think they stick out a bit. So you reckon I'll get 19s on no worries?
