vx gts 19in rims

[vp5lute]

hi i brought some vx gts 19in rims for my vp or vg 1990 model ute unsure wat it is the rears fit sweet but the fronts hit the springs so i can i fix this all will i have to get different rims cheers

[vp5lute]

anyone help

[mischa]

What's the tire size? It should be writen on the side of the tire.

My understanding if 245 or higher the front strut hits the tire, 235 is max.

[vp5lute]

What's the tire size?

fronts 245/35 235/40 rears

[mischa]

Try swaping the fronts with the rears? But maybe the 40 profile messes it up aswel?

lol hope so thing is to i took it to a tyre shop they put em on and i left came back and told em i could smell rubber and they looked and said na all good so i left then i got a flat the next day went to change it these arvo and found rubber in the guard and the strut was shiny where it was rubbing i tell u i was on the phone to the tyre shop in a hurry let em know wat i thought

Yeah i would be asking for them for new front tyres for free if they chose the tyre, they should/would of known they where rubbing when they put them on. If not there not doing there job.

Just ask for 235/35 tyres!

HSV rims on a VN offset will need a 235/35 to clear the spring base.

[georgeonboost]

yep...235/35 for them to fit...any wider or bigger and you'll have the problems you're experiencing.

hey all

Couldn't you just put spacers on hubs? wouldn't that solve the solution????

[kniever]

spacers are illegal tho and they make the studs weaker

[freddie142]

Mmmmm i Supose aye

But its only illegal if you get caught

i fitted my vx gts on the vn with 245s, really does depend on the tyre tho i didnt have trouble withe height although it was preety ***n close. maybe hit the spring base wid a hammer to massage some more room

na i would rather just get other rims then hit bend smash anything and use spacers. i put 235/35 on and its about 5mm gap

yea that sounds about right. i think mines about that too.

but as beefcream stated, it does depend on the tyre manufacturer. they are all different. ive had some 235/45/17's that were fine on the rear and then got some cheap ones and they rubbed on the outer guards. :S
