    Default bboss eleanor sizing for vt commodore

    hey guys well im looking at buying some eleanors for my vt. just tossing up between 19 or 20s.
    20x8.5 would be on 225/35R20 tyres
    19x8 would be on 245/35R19 tyres

    just don't know if 20's would fit without guard rolling, and also wondering if its a rough ride compared to 19s.

    what you guys think?

    even with the right shocks 19s are still as rough as 20s. remember the lower profile tyre you have the more harder and rougher the ride because the tyre works as a airbag for the car to help with shocks/bumps on the road and supports the suspention and body bounce... so when you shrink your tyres it works against and you feel it all, regardless with 19s or 20s u have to roll the gaurds lowered or not. also with 20s at the rear its advised you do the rear bumper cut mod on the corner where the top screw in the gaurd holds the bumper on so you dont scrape the crap outter the corner bit of the bumper and possible wreck your bumper. its not that exp anyway like 25-40 a side anywho. tyre wise 20s cost a bit more then 19s but 20s oviously look tougher and sometimes look better, i prefer 19s myself tiny bit more tyre and cheaper all round for rims/tyres i got.
