VP Senator rims are 30P while the more common VR/VS Clubsport, Senator are 43P which tuck in 13mm and I’m sure the Replica wheels have higher offsets and tuck in even more.

From experience; The VP HSV front wheels are 17x8 30P and flush, hence why the HSVs had that extra mold/trim on the front wheel arch. VPs have a flat rear wheel arch, flush will look silly and require 4x4 stance. Just by 2x 8” wide 30P rims and space the rear out and then buy 2x rear wheel to...

Just do the whole VX eco-tec motor, gearbox and computer swap. Watched Carnage Garage do the opposite with project Mang and VX motor with VN trans was a nightmare.

What offset are your wheels?? Then what width?? VQ wants a 30P offset at 8” wide

I had BMW ultra low springs in an VP Calais (spot weld metal support with 3 bolts) and had no clearance issues with 245 M&H tyres on a 8” rim. Also test fitted 20x8.5 with a 245 and no issues.

I have these on a VP Calais with spats. 245 M&H radials on a 15x8 30p rim. No issues at all. https://www.vpw.com.au/parts/MH-ROD-29?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzbXVpujk-gIVCJ1LBR2gNgdmEAQYAyABEgLymvD_BwE From memory the spats is 3 bolts. The steel is several spot welds. I know it’s 3 on each end but...

Graff a rear wheel arch from a VR/VS sedan

I agree with that and it’s just my personal opinion. I know officers and know their opinions about their own cars. When officers are on the speed radars, with the car in gear and the hand brakes on waiting to catch some one or jump medium strips to do a U turn and pursue someone. It just puts...

How does it not apply? When a Holden left the factory with a BT1 build it went to the Police force. Modern Police cars are still sold off and I’m sure (ZB Commodores etc.) get referred to as BT1’s by some people.

Also a friend had a VR just like this. Police issued BT1 V8 Berlina with SS trim.

BT1 is just a police issue car. I personally would never buy an ex police car as they get abused.

Poor maintenance, low power (IMO) It had a bad respray, sun roof/water leak issues. It was just more then I was willing to take on. The guy who bought it was a mechanic and BMW fan. He pointed out several other issues I hadn’t notice like a trans issue when shifting 2 to 3 etc. He However was...

That’s a HDT Magnum Ute.

Correct it was the VP Senator rim 17x8 30P. I’ve own a few sets. The same wheel was fitted to the VP GTS and Clubsport 5000i. The VR Senator rim looks the same but is a different offset as I’ve also owned them and sold them off as they were no good for a VP with IRS.
