Think of a wheel as a plate.

2 Plates, one`s an ordinary sideplate and one`s a dessert bowl.

The wheel with the greater offset would be more like the dessert bowl.

Each car has its own, some are the same as many other cars, some like ours, are practically unique making it hard to find afternarket wheels that fit.

I thought it was more a problem for the CV8 and VXR boys with AP's with clearance that caused problems. I would have thought that stock VXR8 should be fine.

Hopefully some VXR8 owners will be able to offer some advice. After all, some of them must have sold there wheels and upgraded. Crisisjez has VXR8 wheels on his VXR, he must have got them from somewhere

VXR8 wheels are the same as the Monaro, just require the centres machining to fit.
