20 inch rims

[wormbo2]

Hi guys, name Maddo.

recently bought a VX SS sedan, quiksilver in colour, just spend a few G on the in-car entertainment.

Looking to have a new set of 20" Rims soon....

PROBLEM:

front rims are 20x8' which is Dandy....
REAR rims are 20x10',

CAN i fit them? and what would be involved with this upgrade?

the reason i am hitting up the 10 inch rears, because Big dish is my Fave dish!
any advice Much appreciated.

cheers.


--EDIT--
The rims i have chosen are:
20" Zenetti Legend -black/machined/chrome lip

All I can say is good luck with that, your gonna need it.

Hey mate, i got 20" SSA Torques on my VX. From memory they are 22x8.5 and wrapped in 255/30/20. I think you need to be careful of the offset. Find out what the offset is on those mags your looking at, better yet try them on.. The 10" in the rears might be a problem unless the guards are rolled or the offset allows them to be inset closer to the hubs if the tyre fits.

You will need to pump your gaurds hardcore, good luck with it.

big wheels mean 2 things...

1.i got money look at me
2.im compensating for my small penis...that y i got 17's:P

edit, u will need guards rolled and maybe pumped, and the tyre might hit the spring and even might hit the shocker, only way is to get under the car and measureto the spring and shock

lol nice one troy.. Yeh go the 17's..
Good luck with them, bit over the top..
Very expensive overall, but if u got the money to waste y not..

i think you only need to de-lip your gaurds, ive seen the new ve ss 20s under a vx and i think the 20 by 8.5 or 9? and they wernt de-lipped gaurds?
otherwise, smash on some 19s instead?

I'm hopeless at maths, but i've got the measurements c/o Google search.

20 x 10.0, 22 offset, 4" Lip.

The guy at Ozzy Tyres in Bibra Lake reckons he's fit similar rims to a VX clubby, using shims and a hammer, etc.

the reasons for such a footprint on the rear is:
1: Better traction...... and Thicker skids if i desire!
2: More expensive tyres, so less chance of Above mentioned driving!

be totally honest fella's and just let me know if its worth the research or just wasting my time?
i dont wanna D**k around unless its gonna pay off!?

Go for it champion.
will look tuff, p.s troy, why u thinking of penis?
its a car forum

look for sig054 he has 9.5'' on the rear of his vt

[SIG-054]

10" on the rear will be a tough ask mate especially with that offset. My offset is 52 and they rub on the inner and outer.

I tried my rims on a monaro yesterday while it was trying to get traction on the dyno with a 7LTT and they didnt fit.

So best bet is to try them on the car with some 255/30 tyres, and dont go so low in the rear.

Will the bloke at the tyre joint actually LET ME dummy fit a rim to the vehicle?
i mean, if im buying them, i might as well make surre im not getting shafted with rims that wont fit.

and would most guys let their customer be involved in the measuring and fitment process?
im not dumb in the mechanical department, so i dont see any harm....
