Astra GTC 1.4T with 20" VXR Alloy, Possible? - Cuthbert8 - 2:nd-Mar-2015

Hi Guys,

Just signed up to the forums so big hello to everyone. Wee pic of my GTC below! I've been reading a lot of the posts on here and i've been very impressed with some of the mods you guys have done and has given me the urge to do some to my own GTC.

I'm assuming this is going to be a rather rookie question but i haven't been able to find an answer anywhere or even find examples of people who have done this which is why i'm asking. Is it possible to fit the Astra GTC VXR 20" Alloys to a GTC 1.4T without any major changes other than the speedo etc??

Appreciate any help and comments!

Cheers Guys!

Hello and welcome. Lovely looking motor.

All GTC's have a PCD of 5x115 meaning the wheels will fit.

If they rub or cause any problems I don't know, I'm sure someone will be along soon enough with more info.

Thank for the reply mate.

All being the same size is a good start, i'll take that!

Hoping its as easy as just swapping them over and hopefully someone on here has experience of this which would be a great help!

Got plenty of ideas for my car but thought wheels was the best place to start.

As WhelanUK has said they bolt right on, as for rubbing etc stick to the correct tyre size 245/40/20 and you will have no problems.

I'm guessing you have 18" alloys fitted? If you do there will be a difference of 1.11 MPH (speedo 65 actual 66.11).

it has been done i have seen a few put the VXR alloys on do you have the 18 standard alloys
and what is your tyre size i will work it for you as i think you need a lower profile than the standard 20inch
to bring it in to check

Astra GTC 1.4T with 20" VXR Alloy, Possible? - Rusty2009 - 2:nd-Mar-2015

Tucpal you will only need a lower profile if fitting GTC/VXR alloys to the 5 door as the GTC has slightly bigger wheel arches.

This is size for the GTC/VXR 245/40/20

Astra GTC 1.4T with 20" VXR Alloy, Possible? - tucpal - 2:nd-Mar-2015

correct (245 40r 20)

I've seen these on Gumtree. http://www.gumtree.com/p/wheel-rims-tyres/20-inch-vxr-alloys-rare/1101025239

They do have a few marks and a chip out of one of them but for that price including tires can your really so no????

What do you guys think??

Astra GTC 1.4T with 20" VXR Alloy, Possible? - tucpal - 2:nd-Mar-2015

for that price i would jump all over them

RE: Astra GTC 1.4T with 20" VXR Alloy, Possible? - Scoobysn7x - 15:th-Jun-2016

Will 20" 245/40 R20 fit on my 5 door Astra or will they rub?

RE: Astra GTC 1.4T with 20" VXR Alloy, Possible? - tucpal - 16:th-Jun-2016

Rub for sure

RE: Astra GTC 1.4T with 20" VXR Alloy, Possible? - Scoobysn7x - 16:th-Jun-2016

Dammit, will 35 profile be better?
