Hi Guys and Gals,
What would be the tyre size of the first Commodores 14 or 15'' and did they have 4 wheel disc or only fronts.
Thanks
Owen.

Owen,


Upto VL at least 14 inch was the base model wheel, with disc/drum combination for the braking. The standard tyre size was a 185/75-14 (the closest equivalent nowadays to the ER78-14 they ran from the factory) for these wheels.


Regards

Hi Guys.


All SL/Es ran 15" alloys & 60 series tyres, All V8s & all SL/Es had 4 wheel discs from 'Day 1'.
