20" wheels for a Monaro?
Discussion
I see that Gary Lots Of Grip (now he has the superior chassis of a VXR8 
) has his old 20" Ute wheels for sale on ebay.
I know they won't go over the calipers of the VXR8, but as the hubs and brakes on the Ute were the same as Monaros, maybe someone here is interested?

Hello All,my Yellow peril could do with some new Boot's,i spoke to Gary at the Southsea Meet about these but i was'nt sure if they would fit my CV8,im Tempted to bid for them and give the Flying Banana a Crimbo Pres,verification Please ?,
will it affect Handling and the Feel of the Car with original wheel's ?

Surely the lower profile of the tyres will provide less give and make the ride harsher, plus bigger rims and contact patch will make the car seek out cambers etc with a bit more relish, possible extra weight might make the wheel thud more into depressions etc, but........they will look sooooo much better will it affect Handling and the Feel of the Car with original wheel's ?
Just my 2p worth, perhaps someone better qualified can add?

Reckon you've summed it up there.Just my 2p worth, perhaps someone better qualified can add?
Depends on existing factors though. If the yellow peril is nice and squidgy, it'll firm it up... if its hard and taught on polybushes...then it'll be even harder...
Lots of factors.
Either way though...
Looks cool

20's will not ride as well as 18 or 19's. Been there done that.will it affect Handling and the Feel of the Car with original wheel's ?
Looking at the offset of those wheels you may have clearance problems with yours on low, so try before you buy.
Don't want to p*ss on Garys party, but wouldn't want you to be disappointed either.

Will they actually fit a Monaro?
Came off a Monaro, they do make the car a bit stiffer but when on ute it was much more planted, plus the tyres are stretched slightly so on the rears you should be able to have 305 tyres, these are heavy though too, but if you want to stand out....preciousmetal said:
Petes AM04ARO is on Pedders low and poly bushed so is very firm but is also on APs so not sure they will fit over brakes ??
There was plenty of clearance on the ute, wanted to fit them to the r8 to fill the arches a bit more, little difference in weight but would need spacers, if they don't sell might go down that route next year.
Answers that question then. 
I can understand the people saying about the bigger wheels giving a harsher ride - the fashion for bigger wheels has been a bugbear of mine for many years, but frankly at that price they would be worth buying just for the tyre life, then to sell the alloys on afterwards. Lots cheaper than buying a set of 19" tyres for current wheels.

Tyres are in good nick and falcons too, cant believe these might end as a no sale at £400 lol, could probably get half that back on the tyres alone!I can understand the people saying about the bigger wheels giving a harsher ride - the fashion for bigger wheels has been a bugbear of mine for many years, but frankly at that price they would be worth buying just for the tyre life, then to sell the alloys on afterwards.
