    you wont get 265s in a VN commos guards, thats pretty big,, most people ahve trouble gettin 245s in the guards, some 235. As for if theyy will fit, i doubt it, i dont think the stud pattern and offset is the same. If you get em in though, i want a photo of the rear end at ground level. My car looks tough as from behind with 235s, 265s would look mental.

    Good luck!!!

    Group A ran VL turbo diff cos it was shorter, so it wasnt cut. As for making them fit, there are stud adaptors that are available, but be ready to pay big dollars, its not something you want to stinge on, and they may be illegal, but then so is the rim size in both width and diameter.

    stud adaptors are HIGHLY ILLEGAL!!! lol.. ide say buy the rims. Then sell them off to some one else. Make some money on them if your getting them for a "good deal" then go buy some proper commo mags. Stud adapters are evil things. They have a tendacy to brake and ya wheel fall off. Happened to a mate of mine.. He didnt even know there where there. Stupid mag wheel shop ordered in the wrong thing.

    Firstly, the wheels will not fit... The tyres will not fit either.. Don't buy them unless you are certain you are going to make money off them if you sell them, and don't buy them if you intend on puttin them on ya commo.

    Also, wondering... If ya got 20s, why ya after 18s?
    Cheers, Gaz
