I consolidated for GTO owners only.

This is for a STOCK GTO and do not include any other modifications to your vehicle.

If you have Drag Bags or aftermarket springs your ride height may change and you may be able to fit larger tires or smaller tires depending on each individual case.

Although 275s are popular on the stock rims, it is not recommended. Many posters use 275s on theirs and have no complaints.

can you tell I'm bored?



Apparently these came off a VXR8, anyone know the size (9"?) if they will bolt straight on?

Errr, no they didn't! Regular VXR Monaro rims.

[rmmackfc]

Aye, Monaro VXR rims

[anonymous-user]

thought they look familiar

[L2VXR]

Does it matter what diameter they are ? because i thought the GTO came with 17" rims as standard

Who's it that.

Hello,

Its one of the US GTOs, the chap ages ago did a before and after showing installation of the roof spoiler (still wish I had bought one for my Odyssey) and the HSV rear spoiler.

Seems to have got more of the body kit from the last time I saw the car though and looks very nice IMHO.

Cheers

Dare I say it, one of the nicest I've seen. Those wheels really suit that colour,if only they were available in 9x19" i'd get some for mine.

[Fluffsri/cv8]

dont like the roof spoiler tbh

Got one on mine. Don't look that bad tbh. Looks better from certain angles. I think HarryOz has one on his too.

[mobile01]

Ahem
You really ARE bored aren't you?

wormus said:

IMHO some of the after market mods I've seen on this forum border on tasteless and chavvy & if it ain't broke don't fix it. All my mods are taking place under the bonnet while the outside is standard. I'm assured the engine will come out next week so soon I hope to have 600+ rwhp

Each to their own but I would spend your money on making it handle/go better, especially as it's rare and soon to be the fastest colour!

Busted! Yes I am, just looking for more things to spend money on which I don't have!

That particular example does look nice though

As a keen reader of the high's and lows of GM ownership, but i must confess a rare poster to this informative site, forgive me for asking a question that i fear has been covered many times.I have a HSV gts nos 007 from new and whilst not used daily would perhaps like some more aggressive wheels and tyres, is the wheel information regarding Monaro's in the previous postings any use to HSV owners, however the diff is shot, well beyond the majic juice additive, so wheels may later in the year lol. Regards Steve

I don't have the answers mate however i know a man that does


RICHARD (shouted it really loud)


(actually i did. Glade no ones in my house at the mo. They'd have had me sectioned)

Veering dangerously off topic, but I really like the lights on that car as well (and I really wish we'd had that colour here too!). Are these basicly the Black "Stealth" Look type that Monkfish offer on their site, and is it £189 for one, or per pair? These would really suit my current stealthy theme me thinks.

Sorry!
