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.

**Cuthbert8** · 2:nd-Mar-2015, 02:07:01

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

***Rusty2009*** · 2:nd-Mar-2015, 12:19:29

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

**tucpal** · 2:nd-Mar-2015, 12:24:28

correct (245 40r 20)

there is a set on ebay

**cornishtaz** · 2:nd-Mar-2015, 21:00:22

Yep they do look good

**tucpal** · 2:nd-Mar-2015, 21:14:29

**Cuthbert8** · 2:nd-Mar-2015, 21:56:20

Appreciate the feedback guys, thanks!

Yeah that looks real nice cornishtaz, exactly what i'm looking for!

I've seen these on Gumtree. http://www.gumtree.com/p/wheel-rims-tyre...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??

**tucpal** · 2:nd-Mar-2015, 23:47:57

for that price i would jump all over them

**cornishtaz** · 3:rd-Mar-2015, 08:29:33

I know another member is interested they also have cheap Durun tyres that are the wrong size at 255 35 20 should be 245 35 20 or 245 40 20

Looks good mate, nice job.

**Tottybye** · 7:th-Mar-2015, 20:45:34

Dont feel as harsh ride as i thought it would. obviously even more grip

**ilovetechnopt** · 11:th-Jun-2015, 08:20:23

My GTC came standard with the 20`s but tyre size is 245/40R20 as oposed to VXR`s that are 245/35R20

**tucpal** · 11:th-Jun-2015, 18:11:18

good to know and your car looks much better with them

You still in Corby and still own the GTC mate?

I'm from Corby and on the brink of getting a GTC...got loads of questions LOL!

I've been on AOC for 10 years and currently drive a MK4...just found this site

**Scoobysn7x** · 15:th-Jun-2016, 20:33:40

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

**tucpal** · 16:th-Jun-2016, 02:09:06

Rub for sure

**Scoobysn7x** · 16:th-Jun-2016, 12:58:47

Dammit, will 35 profile be better?
