RIMS STUD PATTERN

[SXi033]

HI ALL,

AS YOU COULD PROBERLY TELL I HAVE AN ASTRA SXi, IT HAS THE 15 INCH ALLOYS ON IN WHICH HAVE THE 4 STUD PATTERN. I HAVE SEEN THE ASTRA SRI TURBOS WITH 17'S HAVE 5 STUD PATTERN. MY QUESTION IS THE 16 INCH HOLDEN BY DESIGN WHEELS, WHAT STUD PATTERN ARE THEY? WILL THEY FIT ON MY SXI?

[My04SRi]

*cough*... my 2.2 SRi 16's have a 5x110 PCD.

Cheers

Cars with ABS and traction control have 5 studs wheels.

Those that do not, have 4 studs.

I'm pretty sure they can drill the appropriate amound of holes for your car... but you'd have to wait for them to re-order the wheels.

[GOZOFF]

The Holden By Design optional wheels come in 4 and 5 stud pattern 16" wheels.

So to answer your question directly: Yes.
And advice for me: Shop around, Those rims arn't cheap from holden.

i have a set of 4 stud HBD Rims in my garage, im saving them for when i sell my car, so i can keep my 17's....

I got 5 stud

[SXi033]

thanks all for the advise, im getting the rims for nothing off a friend so nil cost for me~

16 inch rims will make my car sit a little higher so i have decided do change the suspension, has anyone lowered there astra? how and what did they use? compress the current springs? new springs? shocks aswell? how much?
any info would be great!

16 inch rims will make my car sit a little higher

Make sure your rolling radius is the same otherwise you'll have to go get your speedo recalibrated.

[Anonymous]

it will most likley need to be re calibrated, mine came with the 16's and from what i was told, it was recalibrated @ HBD.....

[SXi033]

what did people use to lower there astra? new springs? compressed the original springs? did you need to put new shockers aswell?

[Anonymous]

i had my car lowered on king springs with the HBD rims (now got 17's), dont know by how much, but the front looked a lot better, not like a 4wd....

Ive still got standard shocks, but i've been meaning to change them, when my wallet can afford it....

[SXi033]

WHAT DID IT COST YOU WITH KING SPRINGS? FITTED AND ALL? HOW MUCH LOWER DID YOU GO?

[Anonymous]

cost: Bought second hand for about $200ish from a fellow Opelaus Member (Who now has a rolla :evil: )

Fitted: By a mate

Lowered: to Maybe an inch and a half to 2 inches :?:

i still miss it :(
but dun worry, i'm waiting to see what the astraH has to offer in a year's time :wink:

[Anonymous]

FYI SXI033, my springs came off that car..... so that gives you an idea of what it looks like with 17's..... so with 16's theres a bit more of a gap under the wheel arch....

How much did they lower by Shao?
also post a pic of your front wheel

Anyone run 225/35/18's on their Astra G? What Offset?

WHAT DID IT COST YOU WITH KING SPRINGS? FITTED AND ALL? HOW MUCH LOWER DID YOU GO?

ANS:
With king springs, lowered 30mm, installed, Price would be $320-$420 (any higher and they're trying to rip you off)
Little bit cheaper if you compress original, better if you can find SRi springs (lowered std)
At this height you may not to need shortened shocks at the rear. If you do add $150 (depending on brand)
