Would any Members know if Wire Rims off a Jaguar XJ6 Series  would fit a VP Commo????

[Prewer]

Even if they did, thats one of the most silliest ideas ive heard getting round

Nah...they look AWESOME .....

Commodore stud pattern is 120x5 I think? (correct me if I am wrong). If the Jag pattern is the same, and the offsets are similar, then yes, they might fit. Not sure if it would suit the car, but its not my car.

Get the pcd and offset of the Jag rim and compare it with the ones on the commodore.

I think the wire wheels would be cool, especially if you could fit those spokey dokey things that kids put on there bmx's

Quick search on the net tells me that the Jag run the same stud pattern as HQ and Centre Bore of 73.7mm.

So without getting into the whole HQ/Commodore debate again... (Close only counts with hand-grenades kiddies...)
According to that information the answer is NO.

A mate of mine told me this.....

Jag wheels are the same stud pattern as Chev and HQ - HZ, Commodore are metric, when Commodore wheels are fitted to Hq's or chevs, or vice versa, they bend the studs in about 60 thousandths of an inch. If the wheels aren't centred on the hub spigot, they may not run true to centre, causing some vibration. Commodore spigots are about 60 thou smaller than HQ and Chev spigots. On the subject of wire wheels, I had some on a Mazda RX4 converted to a ute and fitted with a 351 Cleveland, the front 2 broke at separate times, they could not cope with the weight and braking forces. The first wheel was replaced under warranty, the second was refused, they were triple laced wheels made by a quality afternarket manufacturer. Ive steered clear of wires ever since. (But gee, they do look good)

good luck to you on the wires!

I like them too (on the right car and the right size "the bigger the better" )
on a vp airbaged they would look great
I'm shocked you broke the rims, in america they use them on the hydro cars because they are so strong and can
handle the bouncing etc.

have a look at this link this is an american chev caprice similar shape to a vp
