hey jst wondering quickly as im considering buyin these rims, the guy reckons their vn-vp calais rims....are they the same or not? any pics would be great too...asap!!!:P

[Zuicider]

vn calais rims are different to vp calais rims

[Zuicider]

but both look crap

[[JUDGE]]

yea personal preference....ne one got pics of the 2? i cnt find any of vn calais i kno wot vp calais look like

[Spike79]

They're both very different.

[padrickz88]

love the vn calais rims on executives (haha thats why i have them) but the vp calais rims didnt do it for me, there not exactly in my top 10 rims

[[JUDGE]]

thz for the pics spike, na i go the other way ive never seen the vn calais rims, but yea dont like em, if the rims the guy im talkin to's rims are vp ill get them 4 sure.

[calais_cruzin]

VP calais rims have a 26p offset they wont fit properly.

I think its 28p u need.

[[JUDGE]]

what? why wont they fit onto my car???? how so

[calais_cruzin]

VP Calais have a different offset to any other commie.

due to them havin the first run of IRS.

If i put standard commie mags on my car they will rub on the inside of the body, not the guard the inner part of body b4 springs.

If u put in VP calais IRS u could use the rims, but there crap in my opinion.

So if u fitted them to ur car they should sit a bit futher out than ur other rim if u get wat i mean.

[[JUDGE]]

ok, but they would be fine tho right?

[calais_cruzin]

I recon they will rub on the guard preety bad, especially if she lowered without adjustable panhard rod

[[JUDGE]]

u serious?

[calais_cruzin]

Im not 100% sure, but by goin how mags fit on my car id say there will be buggar all room between the guard n the tyre.

Only way to know for sure is to fit sum, but u dont wanna have to buy them to try out only to find they wont fit.

I suggest ringing up ROH, Speedy etc and ask them wat they recon, they make the mags they will know for sure.

They were the onse who told me the rims wouldnt fit, didnt beleive them n fitted sum at me dads tyre place n yep big rub on inside.

Me dad said he has had about 4 vp with IRS this year that have had mags on them that were rubbing n they didnt even know, who ever was fittin them wasnt doin that good of job to check if they fitted right.

[calais_cruzin]

The only way i can fit standard commie mags is to put a spacer in to push them out a bit.

Cant take spacers out if u dont have them so i cant see them fittin, but then again they arnt that wide soo it mite just fit.

[[JUDGE]]

hmmm...well tht makes me cry now...ive had hubbies for bout 6 months and i was jst bout to buy some vp calais rims.... ...so what can i do to have some decent rims with out them rubbing then :S and how much :S

[fnlow1]

Could try doing illegal stuff to make them fit.... but is it really worth it? they are only VP Calais Rims.

[calais_cruzin]

Is ur car lowered?

If so does it scrub a lil bit in corners?

In my old vn it used to scrub bad, that was on lows without adjustable panhard rod.

If u not lowered i recon u have a good chance they will fit, just be poked out a lil more n mite scrub a lil bit but not much.
But thats if ur not lowered.

[[JUDGE]]

na im not lowerd, but i wanna get it dumped soon tho

[Keesh]

thats crap man.. mines a dumped vn solid diff and ive had vp calais on mine.. there not wide enuff to rub.. i thought most vp's were irs anyway? and i dunno what rims your using on that calais cause stockys and my roh's both fit on irs vp ss.. its easy enuff to get a spacer anyway

[[JUDGE]]

yea my vp is IRS

[calais_cruzin]

U should be right, but u wont know for sure until u fit them.

Hope it all goes well.

[Keesh]

as long as ur not running bloody 235's.. use some 205's on them and they will hav heaps of room im sure
