Leb vlt, the convo's are obviously commodore stud pattern? I am struggling to get welds/billet specialties in commodore pattern, convo's may be the answer!

Na mate, there hq - wb stud pattern (5x120.65), commodore is (5x120), isn't much of an issue with STD studs but with 1/2 inch studs as u tighten them they actually bend the stud ever so slightly, it's .65mm overall difference which is enough to stress the stud and snap them on occasion. I had mine drilled out to suit.

Ok cheers mate, good to hear off someone who has been down this road! I have just mini tubbed, 4 linked and 9 inched my vl berlina, and had the axles drilled to commodore but may have to re think it! I thought the availability of these sort of wheels would of been a little bit better in commodore pattern!

you can buy them in just a single stud pattern and then have the space where the other pattern usually is, drilled to suit the commodore 120x5 PCD
