Holden Commodore VP (1991–1993) Tyre Size & Wheel Specs (PCD, Centre Bore, Offset, Torque) | Adelaide

The 1991–1993 Holden Commodore VP is part of the second-generation Commodore platform, following the VN and preceding the VR. It introduced improved ride quality, optional IRS, and refinements across the range.

Today, the VP remains a popular platform for budget builds and daily drivers. Understanding correct tyre sizes, wheel specs, PCD, centre bore, and offset is essential for safe and proper fitment.

At Autosport Tyreworld Magill, Wingfield & Clarence Gardens, we regularly service VP Commodores including Executive, S, SS, Berlina and Calais.

Centre Bore — CORRECT SPEC

• Centre Bore: 69.5mm (OEM)

Confirmed across Commodore platforms from VN through VZ.

Important notes:

• Aftermarket wheels commonly use larger centre bores (72.6mm / 73.1mm)
• Always use hub-centric rings to 69.5mm
• Ensures correct wheel seating and prevents vibration

Wheel Offset (ET)

• 15” → +48
• 16” → +43 to +48
• 17” → +40 to +43

Recommended aftermarket range:

• +35 to +45 → Flush fitment
• Lower offset = more aggressive stance

Wheel Nut / Torque Spec

• Recommended Torque: 110 – 120 Nm

Best practice:

Fitment Tips (Important)

• Always confirm centre bore when swapping wheels
• Check brake clearance on SS models
• Keep rolling diameter within ±3%
• Wider setups may require guard rolling

Common Fitment Mistake (Very Important)

A common issue we see:

Trying to fit VE/VF wheels onto VP

→ VE/VF centre bore = ~66.9–67.1mm
→ VP centre bore = 69.5mm

Result:

• Wheel will NOT seat correctly
• Causes vibration or unsafe fitment

Correct solution:

• Use correct bore wheels, or
• Proper machining / hub-centric solution
