cheers thanks mate.
they have some that id have but only advertise them in 19"
 
what did a set cost you if you dont mind me asking?

sorry didn't see your reply. I was after 17 or 18inch max but it's all 20's these days I had trouble getting these in 19 even. They were just under 2 grand with tyres , we spent a bit of time measuring the offset for therears to make sure they wouldn't rub

Thanks,

Russell

Hi Rus,these are Centreline Convo Pro's everyones got em but yes they do look good don't they...they do many different sizes and backspace eg:
15x6 3,3/8"bs only
15x7" "
15x7,1/2" 5"bs only(not much dish)
15x8,1/2" 3,3/8"and 5" bs
they do torana and hq stud pattern
I have 15x6 with 195x55 fronts and 15x8,1/2(5"bs)245x60 rears my diff is narrowed slightly about 15-20mm each side all guards rolled flat I still had do a little panel beating with a hammer on the drivers side inner guard lip lol and the exhaust is close there I also had to use 8mm spacers on the back but otherwise a good fit..mines lowered about 25mm rear and 30-40mm front
15x7's with a 225x50 tyre would fit easy on the rear I reckon

hope that helps
Tim

Hey Tim,

Thanks mate for the info, and Yes, yours looks great. Very good.

As mine is standard all round LX, SL, I think i will have to go with 15x6 front 205/50/15 tyres and 15x7 rear 225/50/15 tyres.

Front offset  is 0 and the rear -12. (Street Pro) Both have a 3.5 BS

I am in Perth and the boy's in blue will shut me down if i ran 60's rear with 50's front.

Thanks again,

Russell

Russell you can buy the street pro from VPW here in Melbourne in Torana pattern.

I bought a set of these for my Mustang and the quality of the rims is pretty good for Chinese made. I think they also look better than the Centreline Convo Pro as they're an all chromed rim.

Hey Mate,

 

Yes, I have been talking to VPW and they have 15x7 in stock but no 15x6 in stock till July. There was a fire at the factory in China.

 

15x6 is 0 offset and 3.5 backspace

15x7 is -12 offset and 3.5 backspace

PCD 5-108

 

They say they will fit a Un-Flared Torana with 205/50/15 front and 225/50/15 rear. My guards have rolled lips ready for the new wheels and tyres

 

I hope so as i am going to buy the set.?

 

Any thoughts on this combo.? Fit or not.?

 

Thanks mate,

Russell

Should fit my only worry for you is the rears. 15x7 with 3.5BS should be ok presuming you have the standard Torana diff and axles.

Yer mate, all standard diff and axles, standard brakes ,all as factory.

 

It is a worry when it come to wheels as you don't know till you try. Lol. I have used different wheel/tyre calculators and all looks good and should fit.

 

Thanks,

Russell

yep reckon they will fit easy...I was lucky an was able to borrow both a 15x7 with 225x50 and 15x8 1/2 with 245x60 wheels from a couple of mates and the 15x7 combo had heaps of room
