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

You're all forgetting the humble 4cyl Commodore with Torana 13 inch rims!! What a street machine these were....
Dr Terry, I think a few early VB V8's escaped from the factory with rear drums. A friend of mine had a really early 253 M40 VB Wagon with
