Hi Mark
Short answer, No.
But they can be made to fit if you use the diff & struts from a 4cylinder VC/VH, but why would you.

Im sure you can get custom made rims (eg 13" of the shelf and drilled to commo pattern) from most mag wheel shops. As to why you would want 13s on a vl im not sure

Hi Guys.
ute boy, you missed the point, the 13" wheels will not fit over the Commodore VL brakes, you have to fit smaller !! brakes.

Smaller brakes on a VL could not be good. A 4 cylinder VL would not be much of an advance either.
Unless we are talking 13 inch wide? Now that would take some work to do! |

Hi Mark.
See how much easier it is when you tell us the whole story.
13" wheels will clear the drums on the rear, if you have rear drum brakes. One way to get it to work are to get 13" 4-cylinder VC/VH Commodore wheels & have a wheel guys redrill th |

I would have thought the abundance of 15x6" wheels & tyres used on VPII thru to current, that 15" would be the better option, and a straight fit.

Correct! You can 'oh so easily' walk into K-Mart Tyre and Auto and get a used set of tyres for free if you ask nicely! Just tell them you are going into a burnout comp and they will probably hand them out... At the most they might ask $5 per tyre...
