The stud pattern is 120.65 and commodores are 120 so you will break studs.

Ok so your VN stockies are 43p 15x6. The weld pro star comes in a 15x8 with 5.50 inch backspace. I believe you need a 6 inch back space. Meaning the wheels will stick out a extra 12mm over a factory 8 inch wheel (eg like a VT international mag) and 1.5 inches (36mm more then the stock VN 15x6s.

That should help you work out the fitment n double check your car for room etc

that's because the not made for Commodores (hence the stud pattern) 15x8 5.50inch backspace is your only option and its still wrong for VN-VP. Commodores have high postive offsets and all weld wheels are made for the low offset Chev vehicles or tubbed cars.

What specs are your current weld wheels? that would help but I dont think there's anything to suit as ive looked for ages now

get custom made stockies. Mine are 15x8 and fit perfect under a IRS VP
