    Default What width tyres can be fitted..

    Hey guy's, im hopefully picking up a set of pursuits this weekend for my VP, becuase they are an inch wider, what would be the widest tyre you could fit to them? i currently have 205's, which i'm sure will fit no worries, but they will need replacing within the next few months...

    yeah 15x7, apparently you can go up to 235's, which would look pretty sweet, but 225's are a better and safer bet..

    Interesting point, with all the restrictions in place these days, it probably is illeagal, which is really stupid in a way, because they issued the police cars with 15x7 wheels, for the simple fact they could fit a wider tyre, but a wider tyre could have just been fitted to the standard 15x6...

    you can fit 235's you just have more side wall bulge. But 235 are expensive in 15 inch mych better going 225's. I had 225's on stock 6 inch rims so interceptors arent necessary

    I no You can fit 19" by 9.5 without any modifications.

    I am looking at 20" by 10. Just a quick question, for wheels size law restrictions, can you get an engineering slip so you can have larger wheels without being defected.?
