Omega General Help / Re: Question for wheel gurus

« on: 01 July 2016, 18:15:41 »

I had 18's fitted to my Omega when I first go it, and TBH it looked bloody terrible with them fitted... was waaay too high, and looked like Id jacked the suspension up....

The rolling radius will be the same, but they will make the car appear to be higher....

Mine was fitted with 215 35 18 tyres, correct 18 inch profile for a Vectra B, so that might have played a part too

I believe it's due to having lower profile tyres on larger rims so less give in the tyres with the weight of the car, hence why it's easy to spot when people only change the wheels

Can anyone point me in the direction of what works power/suspension wise on the 2.5? Sorry for the hijack!

Manual definitely, auto has very little appeal to me

Fine, I know when to not try and be helpful in future, I only worked for a tyre company for 3 years so have no idea what I'm talking about

It will sit like a 4x4 if it's not lowered, depends of that's the look you're after?

Rubbish... rolling radius is almost identical to the 235/45/17s fitted to MV6/late Elites, and smaller than the 225/55/16s fitted to the bulk of the Omega catalogue.

With lower profile tyres and standard suspension it will appear higher...

What's the big deal? That's massive mileage compared to mine!

No because the new fobs would need programming to your cars ECU... for that you would need programming software and most importantly the car pass....

IIRC from my days at Vx you can swap the chips over and they will start the car, can't remember if there's a work round for the remote side of it... may be able to press the lock button with ignition on to initialise it but my memory fails me

I assume there is some cross-pollunation there somewhere as that window shape looks identical?!

Has anyone ever done a holden front end on here? My brothers in Oz
