    Cool VE SS Tyre Question...

    So i bought ve ss rims today for my VS at a pretty good price of $550, fresh as, straight from the dealer. For tyres he said i could have 245/40/18 i think it was. But i thought VS commodores limit was 245/35?

    Will 245/40 fit on a VS?

    Cheers

    For those interested, referring to what is legal/what is not.

    You cannot increase the outer diameter of the tyre by more than +15mm above the largest standard tyre for that vehicle.

    You know VE wheels arnt a direct fit, the center bore is smaller than pre VE, the senator is lowered and no guards have not been rolled very tight fit but the 265's do fit and they dont rub or scrape on anything.
