Yes mate, the plan is to fit 17" Wheels( because of price and budget/the wife!,I'll be going Streeters) fitting Hopper Stoppers and leaving rear as is,I'll have to ask Show wheels what sort of price they can doi a 17" Streeter wheel/tyre package for?? I rarely drive the Torana because of the standard brakes+ enclosed mags= its too scary to drive!! I cant wait to actually be able to stop the car when I want but im still saving my pennies.............Why not do it the other way around and change the stud pattern when you do the brakes? Or are you planning on leaving the rears standard?

Here is an interesting way of converting your existing stud pattern to, well, whatever you want I guess. In this case, it also provides the required "spacing" for the Commodore wheel offset.
I'm not saying this idea is good, bad or otherwise (I'm no engineer), but I did find it interesting.
I assume that this does not classify as a "spacer"??
Took the photo today at Motorex in Sydney.
Cheers, H

Spacers and adaptors are not legal in any state unless factory fitted. If you have an accident as a result of the adaptor failing your insurance company would have the option of walking away. An adaptor that is safe to use can be made but it will still not be legal or insured.Hi all

Would running a bigger profile on the rears compared to the front look stupid?

A 235 can fit on a 7inch rim but only with 50 profile.
If I can get away with the 215/45/17 on the front, then 235/50/17 wouldn't look to silly on the back if I don't have too many issues with the larger overall diameter.
Might be a case of trial and error.

there was no modification to the rear guards besides getting them rolled..

I had to trim the front bottom corner of the wheel arch off as well as the inner guard behind the wheel like UNVSM8 has shown.hi ben, what about at the front. How close are you there?

P6230030.JPG 291.05K 18 downloads P6230031.JPG 318.83K 23 downloads but i had to cut the front corner off the guard as well (like square pants) although i just added the front spoiler and it covered the problem.
With the fronts ive got the CRS stub axles and i have VP commodre rotors the hub from the face of the disc to the bolt up face is about twice as thick as a HQ rotor not sure if this has had any bearing on the issue?
P6230032.JPG 182.42K 26 downloadsRear 235/45 zr17's on the same 7 inch rims,do fit i had to lip the guards to stop scrubbing.
i hope this is of benefit
