Holden Commodore VX (2000–2002) Tyre Size & Wheel Specs (PCD, CB, Offset, Torque) | Adelaide

The 2000–2002 Holden Commodore VX is part of the VT/VX/VY platform, well known for its durability, rear-wheel-drive layout, and strong aftermarket support.

Whether you’re upgrading for daily driving, street performance, or a full build, understanding the correct tyre size, wheel specs, PCD, centre bore, and offset is essential for proper fitment and safety.

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

This is standard across VX Commodore and continues through later models like VY and VZ.

Centre Bore (CB) — CORRECT SPEC

• CB: 69.5mm (OEM)

Confirmed across VX platform data.

Important:

• Many aftermarket wheels have larger CB (72.6mm / 73.1mm)
• Always use hub-centric rings → 69.5mm
• Ensures proper wheel seating and eliminates vibration

Additional reference confirms:

• Commodore hub bore = 69.5mm across VT–VZ platform

Wheel Offset (ET)

• OEM Offset Range: +40 to +48

Typical setups:

• 16” → +43
• 17” → +40 to +43
• 18” → +41

Recommended aftermarket range:

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

Wheel Nut / Torque Spec

Best practice:

• Use a calibrated torque wrench
• Recheck after 50–100 km

Fitment Tips (Important)

• VX Commodore uses 5x120 PCD + 69.5mm centre bore

• Always confirm centre bore when swapping wheels between generations
• Check brake clearance on SS models
• Keep rolling diameter within ±3%

Common Fitment Mistake (Very Important)

A common issue we see in Adelaide:

Trying to fit VE/VF wheels onto VX

→ VE/VF CB = ~66.9–67.1mm
→ VX CB = 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
