[bonnie]

Hi my ek has all vn commodore running gear, 4 wheel disk brakes i have 15" mags on her, would like to know how to stop wheels hitting guard when turning,without cutting guards cheers

Sad to say but raising the front will do it.

Thanks trev ,not what i wanted to hear,Thanks

possibly changing the offset or width of the rim and tyre profile can help before lifting it , need to get under there with a tape to have a quick measure.

cheers harko

Harko's right - hunt down the correct offset. This may help:

VB - VL = 43+
VN = 43+
VP = 43 + optional offset is 42 + or 31 + for V8 Exec sedan
VP Berlina = 26 +
VP ABS IRS = 26 +VR Executive = 43 +
VR Executive wagon = 40 + or 43 +
VR Berlina sedan = 43 +
VR ABS IRS = 26 +VS Exec wagon = 43 + or 37 +
VT Acclaim V6 = 26 + all other VTs are 43 +
VX all models are 43 +
VY Exec V6 = 43 +
VY SC V6 = 41 +
VY Exec wagon = 43 + or 41 + for the 5.7 L
VY2 = 43 +
VY2 SC V6 = 41 +
VZ Exec = 43 +
VZ Acclaim = 41 +

Cheers,
