Sedan Col. I had the option of 20's, but with the condition of some of the roads I frequent I thought it prudent to have a little more sidewall.

Ok, assuming VF1?
The early VF doco suggests a " full size alloy spare" as standard equip. on all models
( except Council spec base model).
Later on when the LS3 etc was released, that reference dissapears, and seems to be be replaced by compact tyre/ goo.
( sorry for the thread steal too).

Sept 2017. Last one ordered in WA.



They might have had a pile of wheels to get rid of by that stage!

You could still get the alloy spare with the SSV and the Redline with the sedan and wagon with the LS3 i thought Col 

You didnt  get with the Plain SS ute it wouldn’t  fit between the exhaust so only space saver came with it 

even though i conned the dealer when i bought mine saying where was my alloy spare they gave me one a month later and wanted the space saver back they never saw me again 

still got my spare alloy SS rim and tyre if you ever buckle one Col  :)

Sold the ute now

Who knows mate...Holden seemed to make a habit of makibg things hard to figure...
The columns in these charts go left to right, Council Spec tp SSV Redline. The sedan/ waggon pages include Calias & Calais V, so more dots.
( again, apologies to those playing at home, who couldn't give a f:$=$ about VFs.)
