Ive been looking for a set of wheel for my VL for quite a while... Ive finally found a set that I like... I want to go the widest possible in the rear with the most dish, Ive supplied a link below, if anyone who has gone through the process before and can give me any info please let me know...
Im also wanting to get some semi-slicks, from memory 235s is the widest tyre I can go in the rear? can anyone recommend any brands?
My VL isn't tubbed, the diff is standard length and my guards arn't rolled...
These are the options below:
STREET PRO CONVO PRO II
ONLY AVAILABLE IN BLACK
Available for Ford, Early Holden/Torana and HQ/Chev Bolt Patterns.
5x108, 5x114.3, 5x120.65

you can fit a 255 rear et street . but will need to run stock height springs
as for rim size and backspacing. your limited due to diff length

5x120.65 is not 5x120.
It's a small difference per hole but overall it *could* place higher stress on your studs.
Please be very careful, especially because you're talking about racing on these wheels. Studs shouldn't contact holes, or be seeing any shear stress.

Ive read this quite a bit, but it seems most people are running wheels with the incorrect stud spacings but it doesn't seem to worry too many, Is it a real issue?

100% agree. Might cost you a bit more, but it's worth doing properly (pretty sure 5x120.6 is an HQ stud pattern).
You got to think, doing it on the street is one thing, but do you really want to have those wheels on when at the track running 130mph+...
