GTS rim preferred but will buy anything that clears the HSV AP brakes.

I have a set of rims being painted for my yet to be delivered SSV Sportswagon, but I don't have a spare. I'll be fitting a set of the E Series brakes and I need an HSV rim to clear the brakes.

I have some old 20" tyres so a 20" rim without a tyre is fine. If it's 19" rim I will need the tyre also.

Sydney preferred so I can pick it up in person ... please PM if you have anything available.

Nick,

I've got a couple of the 18" HSV space savers.I know that they fitted over the Z Series AP's.

You can have one if it will fit - which I reckon they will.

Cheers Mark

Thanks mate,

I'd say there is a fair chance they won't fit ... the E Series calipers are much fatter than the Z Series AP's. It's not the size of the wheel that is an issue, it's the clearance of the spokes.

I'd prefer a full size as we will no doubt use the car for some holidays etc. and the thought of being stuck 500kms from anywhere that stocks 20's on a space saver doesn't appeal to me much.

Thanks heaps for the offer ... I'll see how I go trying to get a full size one first.

:cheers:

I'm not sure of the technical side of this but since the VE has smaller hub bearings than VT-VZ wouldn't you need a hub spacer so that the wheel didn't vibrate at speed? Or is the wheel purely centered by the nuts?

For holidays cant you just steal the spare out of the GTS?
