    Default 18's on superlows or 19's on lows

    i dont know what to get for my exec. im looking at cv8r rims, i pefer the look of the clones with the lines on the spokes. i would love to dump it on its ass on 19's but my mate did that to his vz and has horrible gaurd rub and i dont want to get my gaurd rolled. i also have a steep driveway. so what would be a better idea. 18's on super lows or 19's on lows. tnx

    I'd go 18"s on sl if you could get over your driveway. 19"s on lows wouldn't look quite as good imo.

    18's on sl looks good specially if u have no body kit.With the driveway, i used to go on a good angle, go slow and u should have no probs.

    i'm sticking with 18's on super lows (once the suspension goes in) atm, may go 19's later but doubt it, what model is your mates?
    pre vt will scrape, possibly vt-vx aswell, but i know vy onwards wont scrape with 19's and superlows as the hsv's have 19's and seen a few with super lows and no problems, saying that one of my mates has 20's on a vt with superlows and no problems.

    mines similar to superlows and 19's and it's fine - no scrubbing at all

    19s on SL with the gaurds rolled. I've never heard of an issue with rolled guards so I don't know why you don't want to get it done..

    id just rather not roll the gaurds, if i sell it it will be with the original 16" berlina wheels and will be back on its original springs. plus gaurd rolling adds another 650 bux to the job.

    Sounds like someone is taking you to the cleaners.. I only paid 100 bucks to get all 4 gaurds rolled on my ute and they turned out perfect.
