Should i mini tub my VL to fit modified 15 x 8.5 chasers??

Just curious....
In order to fit some decent fats under the old girl (ie: 15x8.5 chasers on some sutible tyres)
could i get away with just rolling the guards or do i need to mini tubb my VL??:hmmm

[VR_Acclaim]

you can roll the gaurds youll be right mine was lwered wit 565 undfer teh ass jsut run a lower profile tyre

565 under stock guards? wtf, either your guards were rusted out, or your springs were king springs SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH (ULTRA ****ING HIGH)

[nasty1]

i think he means 265's lol.lower profile on a 15 would defeat the purpose wouldnt it and would think 265s would still rub over the smallest bumps

[86RB30]

Ha wow, thats a fair bit of rubber. Well it's on the 15x7 chasers with 225/60 tyres, lowered 2.5" all round... it doesn't rub though.
The rims would look like poop with lower profile tyres, they look the best with some chunky rubber. I was thinking 15x8.5 with maybe 235/60 or 245/60.

235 and 245 will fit easy we had 255/60/15's on for the drags might of even been 65's fitted on lowered car piece of piss

[nasty1]

yeah 245s would be just nice

[86RB30]

So i could fit them on with just rolling the gards then. I guess i would be needing an engineers cert as i think you can legally only go one inch bigger than what the model rolled out of the factory with yeh?

[nasty1]

i dont follow lol?did your comie come with 13 inch rims?

[86RB30]

Oh umm, they came out with what like 14x6 steels and the SL and bbrlina and 15x6 on the calais, i'm not sure what the go is with the diametre but i was under the impression the width could only go up another inch without requiring a cert. I don't know ha i'm new to this whole forum thing. go easy haha

[vn_v6]

lol ohhh 265's, 565's are huge....... lmao

[nasty1]

lol yeah just messing around.you wont need a cirt to go to 15s

[86RB30]

What about to take them to 8.5 inches wide though?
Or do you boys not worry about that sort of thing??

[VR_Acclaim]

yeah 265 sorry and they never scrubbed the sat nicely

[vn_v6]

dads utehad 275 on the rear and it occasionaly scrubbed on the inside, it was a vs
