Wait on, with the Kaymar rear bar, maybe I could!

Wheel warning for Commodore

The Drive Team, The Sydney Morning Herald, 15/12/06





Holden has told its dealers that the new VE model's wheels won't fit old Commodores.

Holden VE Commodore: production line at the Elizabeth factory in Adelaide.

When Holden introduced the all-new VE Commodore in August it changed some crucial dimensions of the wheel-locating system. This was done to avoid confusion on the production line (as the Holden factory will be building both new and old models for some time yet) and to cope with the new Commodore's extra weight, width and grip levels.
Holden sent the following statement to Drive on Wednesday: "Fitting VE wheels onto a VZ [or earlier model Commodore] is not recommended or condoned by GM Holden as it raises some safety concerns as there are two major differences in the wheels."
Holden said the VE Commodore has 14mm wheel studs and earlier Commodores have 12mm wheel studs.
"If a VE wheel were fitted onto a VZ [or earlier model Commodore] there is a concern that there would not be enough bearing area under the retention nut on the aluminium wheel, which, worse case scenario, means the wheel could potentially fall off."

Aaaaarrrr so it's only the wheel stud that is different, basicly it's the same as the Disco, i wonder if the thread pitch is the same

I had a look at the rims on the VE at work yesterday and they look as if they have the same offset as the Disco steel rims.

Might do a trial fitting one day, they are 16s too.

Baz.

The 14mm stud matches the disco wheel nut also doesn't it?
