    i have 20's on my vp senator with 245/35/20 tyres on the rear and 225/35/20 tyres on the front, on SSL front springs and SSSL rear springs and the only scrubbing i have is when i got over a large bump and my rear scrubs.

    you will need an 5-8mm spacer on the rear as the VP calais is 28P offset and VY's are 48P thats 20mm diff for each wheel, they fit on the front fine and will only scrub at full lock. you need to mod/replace the front stuts to fit 20's on the front but they will fit fairly easily

    here mine on 19'sand my dad's too
