nope, I think you will be surprised :)
Ask them for a quote, I was told 3500 but ended up going with the works.

looks AWESOME
what is the off set for ve HSV ??
This offset confuses me...lol
How about
20x9 front
20x10.5 rear
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 120
Offset: 20mm front and 27mm rear
Or
20x8.5 front
20x10 rear
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 120
Center Bore: 72.56mm (Hub Centric to Vehicle)
Offset: 35mm front and 38mm rear
Both are concave type rims

20x10.5+27 isn't going to be guard friendly Adam, that's only 3mm more inwards than mine... And that's beyond VE limits without cutting and welding.

Had the same issue when I bought my custom wheels, trying to figure out the correct offset drove me nuts. In the end I went for +30 at the rears only to find that the rims wouldn't clear the brakes due to the curvature of the rims. Ended up having to use a 10mm spacer. If an effective plus 20 worked out for my 11 inch rears I reckon you would be okay with +27 on a 10.5. Only thing is I have no idea how your going to fit them under your guards, the offset means you won't rub on the inside but on the outside you've got no chance.
Why are all the wheels I like having shit offsets.
What about the second set of numbers

The 10" rears on 38mm aren't going to be concave as much.
Honestly go mad dog get 20x12 with sub 20 offset and pull the hub in with some custom arms and shafts. Totally amaze Everyone :) shafts are pricey but all the arms needed are cheap. Spohn quoted me only an extra $100 per set to do custom length.

God even more confusion.....lol
Ok let's put it this way.
My guards are rolled. I want to use a 275 tyre and 10" rim on the rear, I want concave and they must clear hsv brakes. What is the best 'range' of offset. Ie best at offset 'x' but will work at 'y'
Thanks guys

The more Positive offset you go, the less concave the rim is
Eg: a 20x10 with +20 will look alot more concave than a 20x10 +40...most concave set-ups you see are in the +20 range as you start to lose the concave effect when you go up in offset
If you know your current offset, use http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp to work out how the rims will sit and measure your clearances....then Email the supply of your chosen wheels and ask for a template to test for brake clearance/supply them with your brake measurements to check for clearance...If you spending 3k on rims they should be able to help you out with fitment
the 20x10 et 38 will stick out past the guard a 20x10 et43 would be flush with the guard and a 20x9.5 et36 would be flush
9.5/20 with 40 offset and 275 tyres and if you have people in the back on a bumpy road just catch

thanks guys
It appears that my current wheels are a 35 front and 40 in the rear. 20x8.5 and 20x10. The fronts have been fine but when I had my last car really low on coilovers, it still scrubbed even with the guards rolled and nobody in the car. Now, the new HSV is no where near as low, and they used to scrub a little on bumps etc but now they have been rolled I have only had a couple of scrapes on high speed dips into corners etc...
So what I'm reading is that if I get a 35-40 in the rear size if a 10" and the fronts are reasonably flexible.
You are going well with 40 on the rear. My story has an interesting twist - I reckon (without any real knowledge of suspension systems) that the soft mountings wear over time and rubbing gets worse.
My rears are 20x10 with ET51 offset. Tyres are 275.
When I got the car it was lowered on stock shocks. Very bouncy. Springs were unknown brand but about equal to SSL in height. Only used to rub at either full boot load or 5 people on very undulating country roads. As it reached about 50,000 km rubbing became much much worse. So I had the suspension done properly with Kings and Koni's and guards rolled.
Now the car is up to 130,000km including lots of country km and there is no problem and seems to be plenty of room.
Anyway, the point of my ramble is that after my own experience, I am amazed you guys can get away with ET 35 or 40 without using a thinner tyre! From my own research, the USA G8 boys also seem to think 42 - 45 is about the limit without other mods.
I think you are wanting all the cake and eating it too with this one Bonners.
Like Jai Said, unless you go full retard with custom shafts and inboard hubs you simply wont get the "look" that you get on a M3 or other cars with aggressive fitment without major work. Holden designed a car with the biggest fattest guards in the known universe yet you cant fill them without hitting brackets, ripping the guard to shreds or fouling brakes. It's a real shame because the VE has the ability to look amazing with the correct fitment.
Don't bother searching for wheels in Aus designed for commodore, the offsets (and designs) for that matter are all rubbish, search for BMW wheels in m3 suitable offsets and do the math from there, unfortunately a concave designed rim at an offset any more the +30 is gonna look pretty gay. Just how it is.
You know how these guys fit their wheel setups? shitloads of camber and tyres that are dangerously too narrow for the wheel. You get that look, but the car rides and handles like a billycart, and you go through a set of tyres every 3rd week. Trust me... I've been there. It sucks.
Lol... brasher
Looks like I'll stick with my current wheels then. Unless I find something perfect
They are a decent concave on the rear.
Thanks for all the input
