I've seen a set of insignia wheels that I like just curious to see if insignia wheels fit our omegas?

Nope, bigger centre bore

Nope, bigger centre bore
maybe then they be easier to come of rob :y

Fixed. :)

Think insignia is 5x120 omega is 5x110

no probs.. use spacers..

half pleased with steelies.. ( a bit heavy) now searching for a proper alu-nickel alloy.. will be halfweight..
they wont be ready.. so will find them raw and machine it.. :-\ (ready models are quite expensive)

Insignia wheels will fit HSV's= Monaro's & VXR8's. As said they're a different PCD.
I wouldn't use spacers, they put extra load on running gear.

on a 1.7 ton car how important is 5-6 kgs.. I'm using them without probs and many people use also..
imo rolling radius of tire is more critical.. if you go for bigger sizes it effects acceleration more..

It is not the weight of the spacers that increases load its the extra offset generated which loads the suspension :y

thats correct, but those are anyway wear tear items.. may require changing them early at most..
that said, road handling on curves seems better now.. :y

Agreed. Unsprung weight is the key.

as long as the offset remains the same, then spacers are do-able. I have problems with the length of thread engagement, so the minimum thickness needs to be about 15mm. Proper hubs with the pcd you require are a much better solution.
So that means the centre of the contact patch must remain in the same place on the road. the spacer width must match the difference in offset between the two wheels. In doing this, no extra load will be imparted to the suspension.
Omegas are large saloon cars - the wheel frequency is fairly low, meaning that the extra unsprung weight won't do much to the ride quality.

Oooh, stronger offsets and decent wheel options! Who does these pcd adapter spacers??
