Wrong size for the car they might fit bit you wont get full lock on steering and your rears will prob scrub the wheel arch.

hmmmmmm :/ has anyone put 20s on their vk?

[Stretchomatic]

depends on the shocks too, they have the little lip that flares out at the top to stop rocks getting into the bottom of the bearing. that stopped me fitting 17's with tall (65) rubber. lower profile i dont think would have made a massive difference...

its not a prob for everyone, but be wary of it.

2 words mate..... good luck

20s front and 22s rear

[LSN.247]

I am currently fitting 20s to my vh running a 225/35/20 tyre. At the front I am going to run a koni adjustable shock with compressed springs + guard rolling and the strut platform is getting cut and re welded 3" higher to allow for clearance of the front tyres. And the rear will hopfully only need guard rolling and compressed springs!

[i'm timmy]

At stock high and susspention you will need a tyre size of 225/30/20 but insurance will hate you

[Bastian]

I wanna know if 19" vy signatures will go onto my VK calais with no problems?

[VRSS]

if you run 245/35/19 tyres on the signature they will as my sigs with that size tyres fit straight on my calais. for 20s you would need 30 profile or even 25 id imagina to not hit the bottom strut plate

[i'm timmy]

yes 19's will
and as above for 20's not 25 profile though 30 will fit you wont find a 25 profile in that size that is legal

[v8commy]

ive got 4 225/35/20's ill take 350 for the lot there like new

[HSV802]

Had 20s on my vk 20x8.5 35mm offset and 235/30/20 tyres didnt rubb also had them on my old vk and never rubbed on that either. Have put them back on my VR Senator for now.

[ari666]

i must be gettin old or something cos' 20" tyres just make think 2 words...

dick

head

[GetToDaChopa]

20" on a VK/VL/VH/VC/VB is too BIG !

[OFF T4P]

i got 20" FR simmons, 245 on my vk. gaurds rolled all round and front and rear k sport coilovers. only scrub at full lock in reverse. its on it guts too.

[benjiaka]

The simmons sound sexy, however this thread is way old and since then did decide not to put 20s on the car. I ended up putting 19inch signatures which looked great, but since have put polished vk calais rims on it. You should post a pic @OFF T4P
