hey guys just wondering if a set of wheels that were fitted to an hsv will fit onto a 2nd gen?
or is that totally different offset? the wheels have ET40 stamped on them
Depends how wide the wheels are, also how wide the tyres are.

Standard 2nd gen specs are 14x6 or 15x6 wheels with about a +40 offset. So if you got wheels that are close to +40 offset but are 1 inch wider, that 1 inch goes towards the struts because the offsets are the same, so it might rub or sit up against the suspension.
But if the PCD of commodore wheels is 5x120 thats a whole different can of worms.
NOOoooOOooooo bingo!!!

yeah they 100% wont fit
5x120 means that the holes for the studs to go through are a different distance apart compared to 5x114.3
in a nutshell no they wont fit

Those should be alright bit more of a positive offset wouldnt hurt though.
