Holden Commodore VS (1995–1997) Tyre Size & Wheel Specs (PCD, Centre Bore, Offset, Torque) | Adelaide

The 1995–1997 Holden Commodore VS is the final evolution of the second-generation Commodore platform, featuring improved drivability with the updated Ecotec V6 and refined suspension setup.

This platform remains popular for daily driving and performance builds, making it essential to understand the correct tyre sizes, wheel specs, PCD, centre bore, and offset for safe and proper fitment.

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

• Wider wheels may require guard rolling

Common Fitment Mistake (Very Important)

A common issue we see:

Trying to fit VE/VF wheels onto VS

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