Hello VY rossi, Long time no see.

Yeah will go, You may get a little scrub here and there on big bumps ditches, but nothing to worry about.

Just drop it to SSSL's and SSL's.

**VY Rossi** · 18-09-2009, 06:13 PM

if i could afford it i would man so u reckon ill be fine with it

**daniel555** · 18-09-2009, 07:09 PM

Yeah, Will be fine mate. Might get a scrub here and there, But it'll be right.

before i got SSSL's and SSL's, I got no scrub on 19x8.5's

**GMMAD** · 19-09-2009, 03:30 PM

with 235 tyres my 19x8.5 dont scrap at all with no guard rolling
but 245 would

**lastlegend** · 21-09-2009, 09:27 AM

Hi I run 19" on Superlows with a camber kit in my SS without an issue, plans to move up to 20" shortly

**daniel555** · 21-09-2009, 03:38 PM

I have 245's, and did have SSL's and SL's, And also 19x8.5's, No scrubbing at all.

235's on 8.5" is absolutely insane!!! It definately doesn't sound legal

Yep, Stupid people that do it too with 20's, Not only not legal, But pretty dangerous if you came along a nice in the road.

??????? plz explain

**daniel555** · 22-09-2009, 07:52 AM

235's on 20's is way over strecthing the tyre, Its not legal, And your insurance can be void if they do catch it. And its just not safe at all.

**lastlegend** · 22-09-2009, 10:19 AM

How true, as I currently run 245's on the 19"

When I spoke with my local Tyre shop to price up the new 20" package I asked about the 225 & 235x35x20 that I seeem to seen advertised on rims on ebay and the response was "they are ilegal and void your insurance" on 20" rims for a commodore the correct size for VT-VZ is 245x30x20 on 20x8.5" rims

This is what I was told by two very good outlets. I think VE run a different profile.

Got it in one. My uncle owns a Bridgestone and when he has people ask for 20's on 225's or 235's, He basically just walks away.

And yeah, VE's you can put 20's on them.

thats the same sixe wheels as the VY HSV's have factory so yes they will fit

VY HSV's have 19x8's. if you lower it properly with a camber kit and all, you'll definately have to get the guards rolled.
I had to get my rears rolled last week and i run 19x8's on 245/35's. They don't rub usually but if i put more than 5kg in the back i start to have problems.

and safe

**daniel555** · 22-09-2009, 07:57 PM

Yuk, Looks horrid.

**lastlegend** · 23-09-2009, 12:26 PM

You have to be Sh*#ting me.....that looks ridiculous!!!

I have 245x35x19 with a camber kit and big brake upgrades and have not had any issues and as yet have not needed to roll the guards, but I think I will need to to fit the 20's under the SS.

Let me guess, your wheels will also be sticking 2" out from the guard? Retarded wheel/tyre choices, it's a Nissan thing.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think it looks good.
It also works in your favor for handling.
less tire roll.

I'm going to say that he's probably going to be running a rim in the 19 - 20" size - have you ever seen how little tyre roll they have anyway?
215 tyre on 9.5" tyre, says less traction to me...
would insurance cover you in a crash?

**lethalduck** · 25-09-2009, 07:44 PM

Yeah, I know there will be very little roll.
I think it's the look he's going for though.
less traction than than a wider wheel obviously.
Maybe he can only fit a 215 on the 20's?
