its the 'how' im confused about? changed stud pattern just to fit snowies? either that or those snowies have massively ovalled stud holes.

brain = exploded

by **DJV8T5** » September 25th, 2011, 10:30 am

That is just so wrong on so many levels....

by **Another_ef** » September 25th, 2011, 11:20 am

Yes I had a quick look under it and through the wheel and it bolts on with no spacer or adaptor.......

It is just not ment to be!!!! EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!!

Lol, quality. This bloke must have to much free time.

by **Another_ef** » September 25th, 2011, 11:55 am

Worse part is it had two on the front!! :this:

I might have been able to explain this if my brain wasn't exploded.

by **TUFED6** » September 25th, 2011, 7:57 pm

The nuts look pretty centred in the holes, it must have the right stud pattern. If it was running hub adapters then the wheel would be sticking out of the guard more I reckon.

Pretty weird.

Why though? Snowflakes are pretty pimp but aren't that nice of a wheel to go to that trouble. Looks like a standard car otherwise.

by **Jake** » September 25th, 2011, 8:12 pm

Maybe the dude was a machineist of some sort with a couple of snow flakes lying around :\

Was the rear done as well?

Could of originally had some better ford wheels which weren't available on a commo?

by **holmsy** » September 25th, 2011, 8:16 pm

my guess is sleeper with ford kframe etc and motor?

by **Another_ef** » September 25th, 2011, 10:26 pm

No it had stockies on the rear, I didn't actually double check to see if they were ford stockies or holden stockies

by **apoc** » September 25th, 2011, 10:40 pm

oh wow!

by **SnyperEB** » September 26th, 2011, 9:56 am

Interesting!

by **nommic** » September 26th, 2011, 10:01 am

Re-drilled the hub with different PCD and pressed in new studs to suit?

by **89.SVO** » September 26th, 2011, 10:30 am

die grinder?

by **EFFalcon** » September 26th, 2011, 10:43 am

its an EF with VS panels

by **nstg8a** » September 26th, 2011, 5:12 pm

that would be even worse than snowies on a vs...

by **speed.freak** » September 26th, 2011, 5:20 pm

Interesting..
VR Berlina wheels are very similar to snowflakes, which makes you wonder why even bother?
Must be an S-Pack fan.

they are the machine face xf ghia ones

by **bushman** » September 28th, 2011, 3:53 am

It was all commodore we seen it at super cheap shit, and it was all commodore it head fucked us, but the guy who owned looked dodgier than a vietnam war style whorehouse

This is my thought also. My old Tafe teacher when I was doing mechanics had a an old rod he was building with Holden brakes and the disc face had the ford stud pattern drilled through and ran ford wheels.

but why go to that effort for a stock vs?

unless.. are the discs interchangeable between the two? maybe old mate got a free set of new discs and figured this was the best way to make use of them?

or this, and could of just been clearing defect.

my suspicion the top answer.
you drill the 5 wheel nut slots a few extra mm, die grind the back, running 19m head being a Holden,
but **** 114.3 to 120, that's noticeable movement

by **pHaT`eL** » October 12th, 2011, 1:49 pm

What are VS front rotors like? Could it just be an Eseries front rotor, hence the stud pattern?

by **TROYMAN** » October 12th, 2011, 2:20 pm

the vs rotors are slip on like au, unless the hubs are somehow interchangable??

by **OMY-747** » October 12th, 2011, 7:44 pm

If the commodore hubs are interchangeable with e series. Then I am so getting a vt brake setup and re drilling it to ford

297mm disc brakes and twin piston calipers means decent brakes and I can still fit 15's

by **TROYMAN** » October 12th, 2011, 8:58 pm

umm thats a no... possably interchangable with au??????, but not e series..

by **xf372** » October 12th, 2011, 9:15 pm

without spacers has got me stuffed, first thing i thought was a spacer/adapter, i`ve got a set to change mine to holden pattern to run different mags

by **Sunboost** » October 16th, 2011, 1:14 am

Woulda been worth waiting around for the guy to come back, and then ask him what the dealio is. We'll just never know now, will we :shock:
