Title: VXR-8 Alloys + Tyres ...on a Mig?
Post by: i260 on 22 August 2009, 22:42:56

Firstly, are these the right pcd and secondly will 245/40/19 and 275/35/19's cause any rubbing problems on a Mig?

I have worked out that they are about 3% larger rolling radius than the 225/55/16's, which I think are the largest RR of the std fit tyres.

Cheers.

These seem to be coming up regularly on ebay - could look fab if they have the right offset.

Monaros use BMW PCD, sadly, (as this was always my idea, putting Monaro wheels on)..... I assume Holden use the same the PCD on the new VXR8 model, too.

Really :o Then again, I just assumed they would be 110 PCD. :-X

The answer is no you cant as the PCD is a different size

PCD (it's german IIRC) is the size of the circumference of the bolt pattern that hold the wheel on (in cm)

Vauxhalls use a stud pattern of 110 cm for their 5 hole alloys

It would seem from the Holden thread that they are 120 (same as a BMW) but the centre is a different size.

'wobbly-bolts' would not be a good idea and are generally only suitable + or - 2mm ie on wheels of 108 or 112 pcd.

HTH :y

PCD - Pitch Circle Diameter.

Used to sell & fit alloys in my youth.
