Hey guys, I've bought a manual VN 6 wagon which will be my daily driver/winton drift hack :thumbsup:

Ive already got custom springs on there way, front strut brace is done & rear 22mm sway bar also.... :)

Im going to leave the 15inch steelies on the rear but want either 16 or 17s for the front which need to be

8inch wide atleast i guess...

I've noticed people with Toyota sprinters often fit some 4wd looking wheels which are often dished and 15x8 or

16x8 kinda size.. which i must say look DAMN awsome!!

Is there any way of obtaining something similar for a VN? lol

The below wheels are very similar to a set i saw on a guys red AE86 which told me were off a 4 wheel drive!!

Please help out guys cos ive gone to 2-3 different wheel places that sell the typical holden stud pattern wheels

and all the want to offer me is Habib 20x6 chromies!!!

if you are going to actually have a decent crack at drifting you will want atleast 16's on the rear. high profile tyres aren't that good for sliding. there is too much flex in the sidewall. just get a set of 16's or 17's to run all round. tyres for them are getting pretty cheap now.

yeah thats a true point mate.. thats the main reason y i wanted 16s or 17s for the front but i guess it would be

important for the rear too...

id love wheels that sit really wide, this VN is not going to look like an ausie car. thats for sure.

just so we're clear on something those rims are longchamp xr-4 wheels, they are cool...

as far as putting them onto a commodore i dunno how'd go about it perhaps you could get the holes redrilled? but more often than not those style wheels are for the older style of cars meaning they are often 4 stud...

..good luck!

I guess the best way of figuring it out is just to find out what stud pattern holden use (5x???) and then finding what other models use the same stud pattern, and have nice low offset wheels.

You could also probably get some bolt on spacers made up?

Hope that helps :(

looks at OZ racing rims, light weight race style for holdens. pretty sure its them that were used on the concept from holden, the 7 litre monaro. but yeh dunno how much they will cost though, being light weight racing style rims. there are heaps of different race series' around with holdens, sports saloons (VN's) and HQ race cars might have something your after?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.

      These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh

      R33 disk brake size

      This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.

      Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
