A few questions about wheel sizes.

What are widest rim combo that can be fitted to the front and rear without body mods?
Is anyone running with 10*19 Rear and 9.5*19 front?

VXR8, working from a previous post.

I'm currently running 8" front and 9" rear with standard tyres.

10" go on the back although I would personally squeeze some 11" in if I had one. smile

Do Monaros share a common PCD and Offset to any 'normal' more common cars?

Yes. PCD is the same as BMW, but Holden run different offsets and flange sizes.

Monaro runs an 8" wide wheel front and back, with a 48mm offset.

VXR8 run staggered fitment 8" wide et48 at the front, and 9.5" et57 rears.

I didn't think 11's would fit without extra work?

I couldn't get 9.5's on the front, suspension would be in the way, only got 8-10mm clearance with 20x8's and 245/35-20 tyres.
Would love to put 315's on the rear though.

Will 295's fit on the 9.5 rim width?

Mysty got 295 toyo's on his ok. Ive got 285's on the stock rims which are fine.. just. Almost no room on the inner rear guard. But they have a rim protector on the tire.
The 295's did look a little too wide for the rim.

Running 285's on mine as well, bigger looks plain wrong

I want to keep the original design wheels, so it seems that putting the rears on the front is not a suitable option. Also,I have a GTS, with MRC, so the struts have a larger diameter. Probably put 255's on the front, already only a fingers width between tread and spring seat.

Rim protectors most important as the wheel and rim sit out further than the tyre sidewall meaning alloys can get scratched without touching the tyre.

Was thinking of trying the 295 Toyo's (295 less likely to pinch through against the rim), but a 285 with rim protection would be fine.

Going to have to see how yours look at TR, then try a couple and see. The extra diameter of a 295/30 would suit the auto's gearing though.

Yes my car is an 07 VXR8.
I started this thread to collect a set of wheel sizes and offset values that are known to fit or find if any combo's don't work without mods.

In that case, I'm currently running BMW 6 series reps in 3 series staggered format. The fronts are 8" x 19 et35, and the rears are 9" x 19 et40. The fronts are fine, but the rears do touch the arches over undulations, when 4-up. The wheels weigh approx. 7.5 kg less that the originals, EACH!

You'll get used to the fact that most threads wander off subject a bit on this forum.

Have a look at bmw x5 wheels you can pick them up cheap off ebay and the 19" styles come with a 9" rear wheel with a 51mm offset. Im not sure on the weight of each wheel though.
