thats what I'm saying, from what I can see, it just looks like the old 8 inch wide Redline rims to me. Unless they means staggered tyre setup.

aside from left hand drive, this SS also has the LS3 motor which our SSV Redline will not. another mistake for the VF from Holden. sure less weight will help the speed, but having the same power after seven years is not sensible.

They had no choice but to stick with the current set up, the gen V is not ready yet, can't have the same motor in the Holden range as the HSV range. I'm sure they could have strangled an extra 5Kw outta the L77 though.

Dunno if you would notice from the side if it had 245 vs 275 tyres on it.

Pretty bad not to be able to make any gains since 2006 though. A the risk of protecting HSV which is a much smaller market. Should have dropped a detuned LS3 in the SS and made HSV s/c their engine(s). If Ford can do it. Just sayin..

Lip on both front and rear looks identical so I'd say 245 all round. Bloody horrible rims though....... :spew:

Works for those in the used car market as the arse falls out of resale. It's only a tune away from improving them anyway

Are those rear wheels on the white redline SSV pictures above staggered 20s? The rear rubber looks pretty wide on that angle...
