Yes. I saw pics here somewhere of a Magna with 380 VRX rims. Can't remember what gen Magna though, 3rd I think.

They will fit 2nd and 3rd gen magnas, just need to change the tyres otherwise the load rating and the Rolling diameter will be out too much and will knock out your speedo.

Slightly incorrect. As the OP has a verada, running 215/60/16s, going to 215/55/17s will only change the OD by 4mm. Not worth worrying about IMHO.

However, the tyre load rating will be out, as you say, changing from 95 to 93.

I'm running the 380 VRX wheels & tyres on my TL wagon. Picture is in my profile.

EDIT: Shoot beat me to it. :badgrin:

Just a bit off track, alscall your wheels on the wagon, I would have sworn were GT issue, til I saw a VRX 380 with them.
I have those as well, scored off knotched from his GT.
The GT's had a 93 rating and some 16" had a 95.

They were GT & VRX issue originally. Somewhere down the line they changed the wheels on the VRX to a machined/black 5 spoke job, I think. They remained GT issue, throughout the range, I believe.

The 6-spoke 17-inch alloy wheel that you see on the SX and Platinum series 380's was originally the Series 1 VRX wheel.

The Series 1 GT wheel is the 10-spoke one, like what Shoot has on his 380.

For the 380 Series 2, the GT & VRX both used the 10-spokers.

For 380 Series 3, the VRX got the 5-spoke (silver and black finish I think) wheels and the GT wheels became highly-polished.

Confusing isn't it! All the tiny little running changes.
