20" ve gts on a vx calais.

[vx_calais_adelaide]

Hello all,
I bought a set of ve gts 20*8" copies ready to fit to a vx calais. I've been shopping for tyres and have had three quotes with 3 different size tyres. Can anyone help me in choosing the right size tyres for these rims. The 3 sizes were 225-35-20 , 245-30-20 and 235-40-20. Forget about the last size, they were $900 each.

go with the 225/35/20 to avoid scrubbing issues mate.

ive got 19inch rims with 245/30/19 on my vx calais and it doesn't rub

thats the difference between 19's and 20's on a LOW commodore. Any one else had any experiance with this?

[poiterbad]

i have the exact same rims on my wh statesman, and have 245 30's on there and are fine

[sly_gen3]

how low was your car if you dont mind me asking mate?

I got 19" 245/35s and it rubs on full lock just on the inside. very very light though

Definately 225s if your sitting at a height around super lows or lower. The skinnier the tyre the less issues with guard rolling and scrubbing.

I've got 20in VE GTS copies on my VX SS running 245/30's with lowered springs and it only slightly rubs the inside front on full lock..other than that everything else is perfect.
I got quoted $310 per tyre locally but ended up getting them for $200 each,had to drive to the other side of Sydney to get them though but well worth it for how much I saved!
My missus has 20in VE pentagons on her VU with the same tyres on superlow springs and no rubbing issues what so ever..

I have had ultra lows with 225's and it scrubbed on the outside edge guard lip. made a terrible noise when turning into parks etc...
