No chance.

I looked at somthing similar once.

Have a look at your front springs.. They are Mcpherson strut. Unless you change that for another design you cant fit any larger tyres.. Pity. I wanted some 29" A/Ts for my VN paddoc basher.

Rears are the same in a sedan.

Best bet would be mount the VN body to a 4x4 chassis...

Make spacers for the top of your struts, an lenghthen your lower control arms . Wind out your rack ends to suit, you should have enough adjustment on your tie rod ends. Trim trim the guards and see where your at.

Let the poor car die in peace and invest your energy into spelling classes

All you need to fit bigger tyres to a commodore is an angel grinder... or take the front quarter panel off.
I have a VH wagon with 31's on the back, it just took a bit of grinding to get the tyres in there
