What this means is that to achieve a 22" rim and stay inside the 15mm overall diameter AND inside the 25mm of extra track width you'd need to use a 255/35/R22 or similar rolling radius combination - that example lowers the overall diameter by 6.2 mm while widening the track by nothing.

Russ to clarify.
Does that mean the 300C and the SRT8 are the same series?
The a Bridgestone Tyre centre gave me (confirmed with RACV insurance) is that the "holden commodore sedan (Calais)" is a different model/series to the "HSV Club sport" Could have been blowing the wind up me though. RACV also mentioned the sticker on the door is what you should go by for wheel measurement. If you replace the wheels it can void insurance without disclosure. They also want to know about anything that will increase their risk it seems regardless of Vic Roads statements..
Sorry if this seems repeating the obvious I'm a bit of a novice on this subject thats why I ask and check..
srtaus.
