Should = as low as you can!!!

Can = not real sure on a VS

But at least make sure there is wheel under the guard at the rear!

20x8.5" wheels on a VS? Wouldn't wheels that big rub the guards on the front whenever you so much as breathe on the steering wheel?

I have 18x8's with a 245/40/18 tyre with FE2 on the front and it rubs on the strut when at full compression, so good luck!

Should look sweet if he only drives in a straight line anyway

Apparently they fit no worries!!! so I will see!!!

I am thinking a 2.5" drop at the front, and make the rear sit level with the front! So this will mean that the rear should drop around 6" this will give an unreal stance.
Here are some pictures of some 20" rims on Commodores.

20" rims on VL calais's

20" on a VN

20" on a VS's

gonna be a squeeze, bit of bending may be required underneath. Rubbing galore one would imagine. Post up some pics when done would be good to see.

Hey guys, well I have lowered the car and fitted the rims! all is good!!!!
I do however need to get a adjustable panard rod for turning, as the diff shifts to the drivers side under load and with heavy turning scrapes the guard! but its an easy fix.
the car sits at the front
