hey im getting a set off 22s from a mate wanting to know if they will fit i will be getting the guards rolled but im worried about the front if it will scrub cheers
Will they Scrub = Yes, anything beyond 19's and there will be some sort of scrubbing.
Will you need to roll and pump the guards = Yes
Will you get scrubbing on the strut = Probably
Will it be legal = No even close
Will it look good = Not really
It will look sick for photochops thats about it![]()
here it is

22"s will require a lot of work. Tyres will be VERY expensive. Every bump will feel like it broke your spine. Would scrub out a lot. Illegal. Power steering will probably bite the big one not long after, will feel like a bus turning till then. Would look really bad, and brakes look very very small.
How many more reasons do you need?

20's are the way to go man. if u can find a set, get them instead, much cheaper and easier and look a hell of a lot better. just to make the 20's fit the guards had to be rolled and even then it still scrubbed untill i "clearanced" it a little more (with a 2.5" lowering jobby), fine now but im not sure if the fronts will even fit as they will more then likely foul on the strut tower as theres no room with 20's. plus you wont be able to get the car low enough to really look all that flash with 22's without some potentially large body mods.
Financial Crisis? What crisis? Fuels cheap and so are parts. I dont see no crisis.
I have never really seen the point of going over 19" as the rolling diameter is still the same. If you want them to look bigger than they are try whitewalling the tyres, makes for a nice look.

it was for sale not long ago, been fittined with 22inch rims but apparently took a bit of work to fit em. pretty sure a bloke from Fabtech auto-styling used to own it n did all the work ect. maybe have a talk with them about fitting 22's....but i honestly think its just to big for a VT and would be fair uncomfortable....up to you though bud.

The VZ is here! About time!
I must be getting too old. They look like truck or chariot wheels in alfoil to me.
definitly need mods to susp., wether it looks good or not should only matter to you, its your car, IMO i like big chromes, little chromes, any chrome, hell i'd put 22's on a goggomobile if i had the money, jus to do something different, and see all the haters faces, just hatin, HATE HATE HATIN, LOL
Black mags are for people who are to lazy to clean chrome...and wings are for planes and birds
those guards on that vt have been pumped massively its ruined the shape at the back edge of the guard. was considering buying 22s but after this post def wont be.
22s? When you have to draw the rubber on with a nikko you know they're too big.
Four commodores and counting.
ive got 20"s on my vt wagon with supetlow king springs and thats the biggest id go....any bigger and after a month i bet u would ripp them off asap...
verde. madonnas helix ect....................... can come out in 22/8.5 or 22/9. so if u get the 8.5 u wont have "as" much problems. and findin rubber for 22/8.5 would be hard i think
