    Default fit 22s on a VR

    hey,
    just wondering what i have to do to fit 22s on my VR commodore.
    i know i need aftermarket coilovers to replace the front struts but is there anything else i need to do to make them fit and keep it low-ish ?

    Why in the hell would you want such ridiculous rims on a VR? Your talking serious guard rolling and almost no tire.

    whilst i appreciate a person trying to better there own vehicle, i seriously have to wonder why you are going to spend probably around $6000 by the time you buy wheels, tyres, aftermarket suspension components, rolling the gaurds, camber correction, being defected every 2 days, buying new tyres every 3 months and risking not being insured if something goes wrong, when you could maybe throw that money into a newer car, something that maybe you already like the look of?? not trying to be mean or rude, but i feel maybe you could do something that i feel you will enjoy more and thats uograding your current vehicle

    haha i have a 69 hk gts in the garage but il save that til im older. nah i aint trollin. ive got black chrome 20s on at the moment and i just dont like them. and i like older cars because they arent covered in plastic rubbish under the hood and the ECU pretty much drives the car for you. this is just my daily so was just asking what i have to do to make them fit without being attacked for personal taste ?

    It's nothing to do with your personal taste no matter how bad it is. It's a big undertaking and expensive and quite frankly your daily is not worth it.

    Just give up on the idea of 22's. 20's alone are just ridiculous for those cars. Stop being a wanker making all other P platers look bad.

    Its a daily driven car whats the point of putting huge rims on it that you'll wreck in the first pot hole you hit and you just said you spend 2g on rims a few weeks back why would you know decide to put 22s on it 20s are overkill
