VF coupe wheels and tyers question - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

donnel · 07-04-2008, 03:26 PM

G'day all you moparians!

1stly...my search is over!!! (wooohooo)

found a car to purchase! its a 69 VF coupe with a 440! so that should be nice

few questions bout wheels though,

• what is the widest wheels i can shove in the rear with little to no mods?
• what is the widest tyer that i can shove in the rear?

• what is the the stud pattern and the offset?

Im asking because its most likely the 1st thing ill change!

YAY!!!...then maybe, just maybe a paint job! (i dont like the paint at the moment!)

I dont have the car (yet) but i have agreed to buy it already.

THanks heaps guys!

OoOhh...any one has pics of Chrysler on the Murray? i couldnt go!

umm, i think up until late VF early VG the stud pattern on the Valiants was 5x100?

but it sounds like a good buy, get some pics up when you get her

also i hope its got heavy duty front suspension and bigger brakes up front

donnel · 08-04-2008, 12:13 AM

OoOh...didnt ask bout the brakes! All i know is that it doesnt have a brake booster.

5x100 is it? and the offset?

Because I heard that early fords stud patterns fit the early vals..and I thought that early fords were 5x114.3?

i dont know! but id like to!

thanks anyways! anyone else?

Yeah, some Valiants had the same as Ford, not sure which ones though.

CK_318 · 08-04-2008, 12:24 PM

I know that from VH onwards they had the pre Au pattern which was 5x114 AND I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE OFFSETS

donnel · 14-04-2008, 11:48 AM

Oh...ok then.

I will make it easier. Um...what is the fattest tyers i can shove in the rear of the coupe without tubbing? anyone?

thanks!

at best your going to get a 7" rim and a 235/60/14 tyre under the back, DONT put a big fat tyre on the front, anything you want to know about a Val like this ask me, you can check me out and contact me thru www.unorthodox-racing.com

I had 275 X 14 Posi's under my hardtop without minitubs. They were on 14 X 8 rims that I bought secondhand. I have no idea what the offset was on them.

the 275s rubbed occasionally, but nothing severe. and that was only with people in the back. probably only due to spring flex and weight.
I reckon a set of 265s would have been right, but I'd hate to pay for 265X14 these days

Unorthodox-racing · 01-05-2008, 05:14 AM

did you have a VF hardtop? I doult it probly a VH onwards, they can accomadate fats, but the VF & Gs have a very low wheel arch and flat rear 1/4, they are quite limited

wabbit · 01-05-2008, 08:20 AM

mine was a VG

exactly the same body as the VF, as far as I'm aware.

I also had VC and VE sedans that took 14X7s and 245 tyres with no issues

NO WAY in hell will 275s & 14x8s fit under a VG or VF coupe or sedan with out mini tubbs or cutting out the gaurds

wabbit · 02-05-2008, 06:52 PM

okay, you win

I can't compare my personal experience to your overwhelming argument to the contrary

Unorthodox-racing · 03-05-2008, 04:47 AM

the only way to fit a tyre that size on to one of those Vals is to move the springs inboard, its not a hard mod to do & I reckon they all need it done, perhaps someone had done it to your coupe?
