    They should fit easy but your car is probably sitting crooked if you don't have an adjustable panhard rod and one side or both sides will rub

    i don't know a real lot about this but i'd assume the panhard rod would stop the movement wouldn't hurt to let someone else post up though just to be safe cause like i said i don't know alot about this stuff are your guards already rolled is that were there rubbing

    they would fit on my wags.. I had 225 15s on it whilst it was tucking to the rim almost. Only thing it scrubbed on was the top of the guard cause the had a 65 profile. I dont have an ajustable pan ard rod, nor are my guards rolled. Although i chucked a set of 14 inch burnout rims of a vh on the back and it wouldnt fit when i had my superlows in. Maybe the offset of those mags are diffrent to a vp.. come to think of it they most possibly are. Umm Umm best bet would be to go get your guards rolled. Will cost about $50 and they will it like a dream.

    i had 235's on my old vp wagon and never had any probs, even when having a 200kg fridge in the back(wagon was the most handy car i swear!)with the tyres in the guards it never scrubbed. Cant think of why urs would scrape unless something is bent or not alignd properly

    I had 235's (VT SS Rims) all round on my vs wagon. I had to use spacers because the tyres were rubbing the struts up the front and up the back it was rubbing as well. (I didnt have to roll the guards though as it wasn't lowered)
