V2 CV8 Monaro and VF SSV Redline
if they are 19'' id say they should, what size is the brembo disks ? im pretty sure the hsv 365mm disks are a 19'' minimum rim so fi they are smaller disk should be ok

FWIW stock VF Redline S1 front rotors are 355mm.

The rims on a redline are 19"

If those 20" wheels don't fit the Brembo's, as per the JHP site, it must be related to the shape of the rear of the spokes - the spokes likely foul the calipers, rather than the "inner face" of the rim touching them.

It's not the rim size it's the offset. 18" rims can be used. Not quite sure but I think the offset has to be 48 I assume mm.

These wheels were an option on VF SS Black edition.

Will they fit redline brembo brakes ?

Hey Ron,
They look like the HF20 wheels to me. I had the 20 inch option fitted to my car when new by dealer. If they are HF20 then they sure fit fine. Mine are the staggered fitment. I think 8.5inch at front and 9.5inch at the back. Last time I checked Holden still had spare HF20 wheels at about $3500 a set if I recall.

BTW I took my car to Penshurst today and got 23 more kilowatts at the rear after a tune on the dyno. The guy spent about 3 hours on it. I was impressed. Will go back again in future for some more work.

They are different to HF20.

You saw Sonny at Autowerks ?

23kw extra with tuned Rotofab ?

Mine was 270rwkw with tuned rotofab by Sonny

It was 290 rwkw previously with Harrop OTR

Sorry the first photo was a bit grainy I thought they were the same as mine

Sonny was not there. Apparently he does not come in much
Young guy called Sean did the work
Yes 23 kw increase from before with the RotoFab
Then adjustments of fuel tables
Last run after about eight pulls was 22.7kw increase
Sean explained about the otr systems getting more air
Even the tyres on the car make a difference to the readings

Must be the slightly inward top of the spoke that fouls it

As a side note, that pic is from a Facebook Ad advertising that car for weeks

Wants $70000. Granted its got 15K on the clock, but talk about a dreamer....
