New car - V6

[coolshades]

as for the people who went to billing i am the person who had the rustiest and dirtiest car on the stand but while i was there druling over everyone's else's car i was soon convinced to buy a V6 ( elliot, phil and gran ) so i have !!!!!

anyway it is just superb and everything i want. well all but 1 thing, i have got some 18" MAK's on new tyres on my 8v (4 stud) and the V6 is obviously 5 stud so they won't fit.

so my first question is - is there any type of conversion i can do to change the V6 into 4 stud ( that would p**s the scooby's off ) ?? if not i will have to sell them and get some 5 stud which leads me to my next question - what is the offset on a 1995 2.5 V6 calibra ?? how can i find this out ?
any help would be much appreciated

Best wishes.

Congatulations on buying a V6 enjoy

Vauxhall ofset is 47et, and i think you should sell the 4 stud wheels as it seems a bit pointless going from 5 stud to 4 [img]/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome to V6dom!
I agree with RobbieV, get rid of the 4 stud.... far to much trouble!
Someone will snap up the 18"s from you and this now gives you the option to look at other wheel designs!

Robbie - I may be wrond but I always thought that the ideal calibra offset was et49 not 47.

Coolshades - Your gonna love it. I know I love mine although you've confused me a bit - Gran doesn't have a V6...me and Elliot do though. Are you sure you didn't mean Aldo or maybe someone else?
Also, if you convert to four stud, you'll need new hubs, bearings, brake discs e.t.c so money wise you'd probably be better off selling your existing wheels and buying another set anyway...plus its alot less work and hassle too!

thanks phil.

You're right i do love my V6 it was definately the right move.

Now all i need to do is sell my existing wheels.

Yeah it is ET49 Negative Scrub Geometry on most vauxhalls.
