Do all Vy to vz rims fit a ve

This might have been covered before but do all rims from vy onwards fit over Ve rear brakes. Also can the standard Ve wheel nuts be used or do you have to get different ones. once again sorry if this has been covered again. Cheers

Do you want to fit them on a VE, or over VE rear brakes attached to something else?

Pre-VE rims won't fit on a VE - different sized centre IIRC. You can machine VE wheels to fit pre-VE but a bit harder to add material to a pre-VE wheel to make it fit on a VE :)

Dependent on rim perhaps hub rings could be used.

Want to fit on Ve. As the centre bore is different will have to use hub rings. Just need to know if any 17x8 from vy onwards will work?

Give dioxide a PM he bought my VY SS 18 x 8 to fit on his VE..he'll know exactly what you need

I have a set of 19" HSV VZ R8 rims and they do not fit a VE, the stud size in the wheel is too small on them along with the center bore needing a CBL ring to center the hub.

Some other wheels will fit but be aware of the stud hole size as well they will need to be approx 14.5mm dia to fit a VE.

why would you need hub rings the center doesnt take the load its the nuts and there surface do, even when you use ve on vx to vz you should use the right nuts not the stanard vx to vz ones. So if you put vx to vz rims on a ve you would have to get the nuts to match the radius otherwise they dont seat right and you will have problems

Oh dear. I think you'll find its the hubs job to support the weight, not the studs...

"wrong" the hubs do take the weight of the wheels and if your car has wheels with oversize bore holes and you are not running hubrings and you have an accident from loosing a wheel your insurance could be voided.
The studs and nuts take the rotational forces .

Are you a bit lost? The hub supports the weight/shock of the car, the studs/nuts support the rotational forces.

If you look at any four link that has been built most won't even have a locating ring on them it's only there to help centre the rim when putting in on does not carry any load what so farking ever:stick:

:popcorn:

Are we gunna see R2:box:

Soemone wants to run some et streets by the looks

Back to the question, I have found vy ss 17x8 wheels. Will they fit as I don't want to buy them and be left with rims I can't use. They are 5 spoke from memory.
