real cars with all 3 pedals (as GOD intended) repel such demonic possession  ;D

Because DMF's, release bearings, slave, cylinders, master cylinders, bearings in the box and the clutch NEVER fail and NEVER cost thousands to replace?

Wonder if anyone with an M32 gearbox will agree it doesn't needs a head-spinning cross inserting green puke removing priest?


And back to the original question, not with Omega tyres, Vectra 17s were 215 or 225 width as OEM, the Omega tyres will make it handle worse than it does  :D

My posh vectra has 235/45/17.

It all depends on what wheels and tyres Terry actually has  :-\
ET is usually stamped or cast on the wheel
tyre size is usually on the black rubber part

He's used to driving everywhere at a constant 64-66mph in his truck, or at 30mph in his omega (bits fall off if you go much faster), so it will seem like a rocket ship.  :y

The posh Vectra, is only A 2.0t but allegedly puts out sufficient donkeys, yes it does only have 2pedals as all vehicles should, and it's finished in a nice shade of GM's finest rare silver.  It will also comfortably attain the speed limit. :)

The 64 - 66mph trucks are the Irish ones cruising down the M6 in no particular hurry.  ;)

 ;D :D
I never thought of loooking for data on the wheels. Cast on the back of the wheels on the spokes I find K835E INTRA 70645 S363E17, and around the wheels bolt holes DB KE TM XP.

I have in the past used old Senator wheels on Omegas without problem, and used the steel spares similarly, though I did find some Carlton wheels too small to fit over the brake calipers. Assuming they are all 5 bolt wheels, my concern was bolt hole location and central hole size. Basically, will they bolt on a Vectra or not?
