Even though I have a feeling that I know the answer I want to ask anyway just to be sure.
A mate of mine has asked if I'd like to use his 18 inch wheels (not sure what they exactly are but they are on his VL atm) for a while on my VN SS.
Basically all I want to know is that will they scrub at all??? I have a mate who had a set of 20s on his SV5000 which fit perfectly except they fouled a little bit in the rear (it was either on his strut tower basically just needed to slightly space the rim out)
So yeah can I fit them without any hassles? Or will they scrub at full lock/require a spacer to be fit.
I know it's a bit difficult to know without knowing all the specs on the rims so this is a bit of a broad question.
Cheers in Advance.
i have 20's on my vn no probs at all never scrub, had 3 big fellas in the back and was out on the skidpan at wakefeild and still no probs.
Cheers mate thats just the sort of thing I wanted to hear.
I didn't think that I'd have any sort of troubles fitting them (just gonna have to be careful if I ever get around to lowering the thing lol)
I have a ss to, with deep dish 18's and the minimum brow height. No scraping what so ever. My gaurds are rolled though but still have heaps of room. You should be pretty safe.
I have 19's (well 15" stockies atm) with 245 width tyres and no problems. Could fit 255's in a 30 profile if I could afford them

if the car is lowered and the gaurds are not rolled it will scrub on the tire front should be right. no need for spacers just get the gaurds rolled if they touch or dont let people in the back.

it should be right if u have the right offset rim.
i got advanti 18" on my vn, but they have the right offset for the car (40P) but all so they r only 7.5" wide but i run 235 and 245 with a lot of room.
Most 18s are 18-8 or 18-8.5

my 18s rub like a b*t*h, gotta take it real slow ova bumps, thats without ppl in the car, when ther is ppl, omg lol the slightest turn u make its rubs... it rubs at the back were the metal goes in just above the tyre, if u knw wot i mean, i guess i cud bend it up or cut it abit, or change my tyres lol
My mate also has a VP and he has exactly the same problem as u, but he only has 17's LOL, but i have a vn with 18's and never have a problem and my guards arnt rolled. the only ever time my tyres rubbed on the guards was wen i had 300kg of bagged cement on my back seat and was towing a loaded site trailer... and after all that it only just touched wen going around a corner![]()
