    It goes by the rolling diameter so basically the bigger the rim the lower the profile the of the tyre needs to be.

    Within 15mm of standard diameter of rim/tyre assembly.

    to go the safe way i'd go 235/45/17's they are the equivaliant to the rolling diameter of the 15's legally

    Not sure about vic but the overall rolling diameter in QLD cant differentiate by +15mm or -26mm than the original manufactured wheels and must have equal or more than the original load rating. Check with your RTA or whatever you guys have down there.

    Use this site to help you figure out what sizes you can go: Visual Tyre Size Calculator | Kouki Tech

    Also a VR Acclaim would have come out with 205/65/R15's if your unsure just check your tyre placard. If you don't have one, i suggest you get one because it's illegal to remove them.

    This is a good idea.
    Apart from almost identical rolling diameter, some VR's were fitted with these on a 8x17 rim from factory.
    As it was a factory option for that model, the authorities can't touch you.


    I have VYSS 17's on mine and, being a factory rim, have the correct offset.
