Wheels on Vn

[HAZZA-VN]

Hi just wondering from peoples experience how wide is the widest wheel i can put on the back of my car,????

Thanks guys

[Kruza]

the most u would possibly be able to fit would be either 8" or 8.5" at the max..
in either 18' or 17's..

i have 18x8.5, and they dont scrub on my 2,5" lowered vn sedan..

[HAZZA-VN]

Mines about 3 and a bit inchs lower mate lol

[HAZZA-VN]

thanks for ya help though,

I've got 19x8s or 19x8.5s or something on mine, 245 tyres, deep dish not sure on offset. No scrubbing - standard panhard rod (!!)

Only rubbing is SLIGHT from the front when turning sharply, rubs on a small patch of inner guard liner

If that helps...

You can fit 255 tyres (on a 19" rim with a 30 profile) on a VN with guards rolled and adjustable rear panhard rod. Must stress the 30 profile though.

[savage1987]

Ah I forgot, my VN has rolled guards with the 245s

just a note also find out what the maximum increase in size is legal for your area

no use buying big arse rims if ya get pulled up and canaried on your way home

[HAZZA-VN]

Thats a price im willing to pay :P only aloud 2inchs bigger than standed i have 18s now which are illegal on the car so what the hell 19s are gonna be just as illegal as 18s so why not

[1991_Vn2nV]

19's are almost legal now I should ring up and ask if its changed yet. But it doesn't sound like you're going for a legal tyre combination anyway.

[HAZZA-VN]

legal??? who said i wasn't having legal sized tyres?

[1991_Vn2nV]

Nobody, but it seemed like you don't mind if its legal or not and when you're asking what the widest sized rear wheel you can fit would suggest going to like a 255+ sized rear tyre which is quite hard to get in a legal size.

[HAZZA-VN]

i dont see what you mean to be a legal size??? 255,30 R18 or 265,30,18

[VNHeartache]

Legally, in Australia, the wheel tyre combination must not be more than 1 inch wider than the widest manufacturer supplied combination for that vehicle and the total diameter must be the same. So, you can put 21 inch rims on if you want but you'll need a really low profile tyre that has the same load rating as the standard combination. Of course, you can put on whatever will fit if your happy to run the risk of the cops putting you off the road if it's not 'legal' :-P

For an 18" Wheel a 255/35 or 265/35 is legal. I thought you were going 19" wheels though (which makes it 255/30 R19).
