    Default a wheel/rim question....

    i have a vs wagon, just have lowered ir with king springs, sl rear ssl front.
    now looking for a good set of second hand wheels and tyres.

    i found a good set of 245/45 r18 that came of a VE

    is there a diff offset between the 2 models?
    i know there the same stud pattern. but what about hub size? ive seen a few vr/vs getting around with ve wheels b4.
    what do i need to do to make them fit? and the costs involved.

    thanks 4 ur help

    wheels need to be machined. the hub is too big for the wheels i believe

    yeah i know the tyres are bigger but the within legal as per qld transport regulations, so just the hub hole on rims needs to be machined to suit the vs???
    the rims would look good on my vs, would 245 scrub u reakon??

    If its the same situation as a m8 of mine the tyres were actually to big in diameter to fit under the guards?

    FYI
    I have 235/45-17 on VY ss rims and they touch the inside of the rear wheel tubs when I turn into the driveways. Rear springs are std FE2.
    If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
