hey guys im looking to put new rims on the VE series 1.. gonna slam it with peddars sports ryders soon and i want to get some rims for it . im in to the deep dish rims and was wondering what is the max size i can go with wheels.. i think i can put 8.5 in the front and 10 at the back ? is 20 inch pushing it ? does anyone have pics with deep dish rims on ? thanks
U can't whack on deep dish rims under these cars, unless u shorten the rear. u can only get wide rims but forget deep dish.
so only phat rims can b put onto our models ? whats the max size can it go ? someone told me like err . .275 / 40 / 20 or something ? i cant remember exactly
ok i found the rims i want but f*** they r expensive... does anyone know where i can get reps of these babies ?

theres plenty of bbs lm reps on ebay, but do it right, save up the cash and get a set made to your requirements, measure up the car, and work out what size and offset you can go, then drop the cash
Theres a guy near me has an 06 SS-V. He has rims on that have about 2.5 - 3" dish on the rear, it looks absolutely fantastic. I'd probably do some more shopping around before
settling on those BBS, they look a bit 80's for me but each their own. Regardless what you go with, shop around is the important thing and ebay doesn't necessarily mean
bargain by any stretch.
yeah i like them .. but what i might do is just buy a set up HP mesh rims and powder coat them gold and keep the machined lip.

My rears are also dished the sizes up front are 245/35/20 and the rears 275/30/20. that is the same fitment as the HSV's running the gts wheels. I got my wheels through SSW.
HSV's are 245/35R20 fronts on 48p offset 20x8.5 rims and 275/30R20 rears on 56p offset 20x9.5 rims
56p 20x9.5 should still be able to get a 3 inch dish/back spacing so it is possible just wont be know crazy 7 inch FnF style dish
Just googled your BBS wheels $1100 each? better off buying Simmons......

4" = "Decent lip" ?
WTF is deep dish then?
this is a properly dished wheel(no high offset convex spokes here) on a ve.

I love the look of some dish. I just picked these up from the states.
Couldn't be happier. If u want dish I gotta do some research. There aren't many around but the ones that are out there look good
