Hey i was thinking of doing the same thing... the stud pattern isn't different... however i have been told that the diameter on the wheel studs on the VS are slightly larger in diameter by a couple of mills; don't remember if its 1 or 2 mills its not much... but trying to re-bore the holes on the rims will be a b*tch... and your gonna hope that if they do re-bore the rims that they do a great job at it... =D

wheel nuts on vs are smaller, ve uses 14mm and vs uses 12mm...

ve hub size (center bore) is about a mm smaller then the VS hub size, its the center bore that needs to be machined out for them to fit. about $20-$25 per wheel.

you also need correct profile on the rims or else the tyre will hit the strut tower.

i put these same wheels on my vs ute about a month back, going great.

yea i got a private msg explaining this last night from soop ( thanks mate ) yeah and the widest tyres you can fit on them are 245 as they rub on inner strut >={ to easy to bore them out i got cnc's at work =)

Quick random may be stupid question but what are the chances of doing the opposite putting vs wheels on a vf

@Losh has VZ CV8 wheels on his VE.

Use hub rings.

It’s the offset that will be a huge problem. The CV8 wheels have an off set that is more friendly and look ok.

Any other is going by to be so far into the wheel well and look dogshit.

What is the common VE wheel offset?

Only asking as meant to be getting vs 20s was gonna try put them on the vf but the old owner has no information on the wheel other then there commodore wheels

also the studs on the vb to vz are smaller diameter then the ve/vf so need to be drilled just take them to a wheel repairer/machine shop

Nope they fit straight over, just not as much gap.
