wheels

[v8m3]

can any one tell me if astray vxr wheels 19" fit an holden hsv gts

thanks wayne

[Well_Fans]

doubt it - most vauxhall 5 stud are 110 spacing, HSV tend to use 120 spacing.

[v8m3]

does that mean that bmw wheels fit as they are 120 pcd

Depends on whether the Offset also matches

[Well_Fans]

most bmw wheels are <40 offset and so dont fit under the arches properly. there's also the problem that they tend to have a 73-74mm centre hole so you need a spacer to match it to the hub to stop vibration. Been through all this and came to conclusion best option for 19" wheels was to import a set of the HSV ones for around 1200ukp without tyres. there are a couple of companies offering alternatives for similiar money in the UK but not my taste.

Hello all

been a regular lurker to this site for a while:thumbup a common question is wheels, BO55's FAQ seems to have vanished ? feel free to correct me if I am wrong the stats are PCD is 5x120, ET (offset) is 48, a lot of wheel manufacturerssuppliers have the wrong data for the ET (Roger of Monkfish) has already pointed this out in another thread, found this to be true as a supplier in Clevedon naming no names (S*T) slammed the internet door in my face, and refused to believe they are anything else but 39MM (WRONG!} all very pleasant when they think you'll be parting with a couple of K, when you prove them wrong it's a different story, buy I'm sure they can bling up a Nova with no problem

as well fans said BMW are a close fit, 3 series e38e46, look for 42mm offset which will throw wheel outwards by 6mm from the standard(about 5 cds thick) may catch arch or may not , depends on your cars set up, the difference of the centre bore from the BMW (3series 72.6mm)or any wheel can easily be overcome by using spigots made to measure by most good aftermarket specialists, (but probably not available anywhere near clevedon) yes, bitter and twisted i am! woldn't buy as much as a dust cap from them......

stats are (as far as i know)

pcd 120mm x5
et 48mm
centre bore, ute and most pre vy series 68.9mm, vy on including all Monaros 69.1mm

golden rule seems to be 18 " best all rounder, 19" good for performance but ride suffers, 20" don't bother with tyres, just ride the rims|

as I said correct me if I'm wrong,

A big hello to you all, now I'm off lurking elsewhere, BFN

It was temporaraly (sp?) removed due to "sticky overload"

[BigNige]

Aye but the FAQ link is actually linked to the FAQs...if you see what I mean.
Wouldn't that suffice?

Chris,

No they're not. My 02 Ute is 69.7mm centre bore. Best to check with a gauge and caliper.

Try looking on Konig wheels website or some of the Aussie wheel sites I spoke to company in Australia who gave me quotes for Konig Unkowns which would fit straight onto my GTS-R no trouble even provided me some pictures to prove it. Decided in end to refurb wheels due to cost. If you get all the details you can then try and get Uk alloy wheel suppliers to get set sent on their next order to save on shipping etc... (as shipping was costly+tax etc..)
