    I wanted to upgrade from 17's to 19's for a bit more wow factor...Didn't want to go to 20's coz i still want some rubber cushioning the ride... Maybe i should be looking at 18's instead...they don't have the wow factor they used to though...and spending the dosh for only 1inch more... I wonder if it will have enough desired effect to be worthwhile.

    20's are fine, about as big as i would go though. bumps dont worry me as much as how easy it is to smash them up against a kerb and rape them

    I dont think you can put 22's on a vs legally anyway. the rolling diameter would be too large.

    Little bit off topic but a interesting fact that I didn't know till the other day but utes actually had their own interceptors, mate had a wreck in his yard and had UTE stamped on it with a different offset.

    the only reason i got my 19s is cos i did a straight swap for 17s
    all depends on where you live if the roads are good go the 19s they look heaps better than a smaller rim i live in taree nsw and the roads around here are shit house

    I picked up a set of 20's from a JC member the other week to put on my ute.

    I put one wheel barrow and a 44gal drum on it and I filled my steet with smoke!

    I had to take the rims off and do some massaging with a lump hammer on the inner guard, but 22's would just be a tight fit because I almost hit the front fenders with 20's

    I'll take some pics of mine now and edit my post in a minute.

    My thoughts are 19's for a vr/s they are just big enough to look good but not too big that it looks stupid, 22's in my opinion would look horrid if you were able to fit them, which i dont believe you could.
