Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me if VY Commodore rims will legally fit a VP Commodore?
I am unsure about the relative PCD's. I don't think a greater rim height will prove a problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

No they are definitely off a VY they are currently on mt sons car a VY SS.
These particular rims are 8.5 x 18.
Anyway Jeremy will be over on the weekend and we can do a test fit.
All being well I might end up buying these off my son for my VP.
Will get a photo later when he comes home.

all commodores from vb to vz are the same stud pattern ... the only thing that really changes is the offset .... vb 4cylinder i believe has torana stud pattern.

To add to that. Yes, VC/VH 4-cyl (there was no VB 4) had Torana 4.24" PCD, but their studs were 12mm metric.
VE also use a 120mm PCD stud pattern, but the centre spigot is smaller & the studs are larger (14mm). If you machine out the center hole & make up some steel barrel spacers for the 5 holes, then you can fit VE rims back to VB (if space & offset allows it).

The offsets are the same. As Dr. Terry pointed out, the centre bores are different. VB - VZ centre bore is 69.5mm. VE is 66.9mm. Even though these problems can be worked around, don't do it.VE also use a 120mm PCD stud pattern, but the centre spigot is smaller & the studs are larger (14mm). If you machine out the center hole & make up some steel barrel spacers for the 5 holes, then you can fit VE rims back to VB (if space & offset allows it).

Hi CHOP
When you say the 'offsets are the same'. What is the same as what ?
I was under the impression that there were several different Commodore offsets, especially for VQ/VP IRS cars. That is why I said, 'if offsets allow'.

99.99% of Commodore rims are +43 offset. There is also:
+27 for VP I.R.S. and VQ Statesman
+37 for VG ute
+40 for VR SS
+42 for VL and VN Calais
+48 for some late model HSV
Apart from the HSV rims, most of the other alternate offsets listed are generally quite difficult to find.

Here is a photo of the rims I obtained from my son for my VP.
The size is 18 x 8.5"
The reason he replaced them was because the old ones need refurbishing, a job that I will have to look into but at $400.00 the set including gutter scrapes I guess it's not too bad a deal. He is prepared to wait for the cash as its going to be a few months before I can pay him, I have other commitments due to my Torry.

I thought about your amazing skills but the painted centres are flaking, probably need bead blasting? The one pictured is one of the better ones lol.
Anyway have a look on Sunday and see what you recommend
