    Default VY, Wheels & Springs

    G'day.

    Im new here, So hey all.

    Just curious about a few things on springs and wheels.
    Im getting King SSL's for the rear and SL's for the front, because they guy who i spoke to said to get them because if u get SSL's all round the back tends to rise up a little. So im just wondering, Could someone post a pic of a VY on SSL's all round, And SSL's at rear and SL's at front?

    Also, I want to get 20" wheels, But ive heard if u get 20" wheels your going to have to get your suspension done, Or use the wrong tyre and you'll go through tyres every 10,000km.

    Thanks.

    Have a look in the My Ride section. heaps of the cars there have the SSL and SL set up. You should expect either just above or a tiny bit of tyre tuck.

    20"s might fit. Might have to get guards rolled though. Fairly cheap to get it done anyway.

    Ahhk, Thanks heaps for the info.

    Anyone got any good wheel colours (Besides full chrome) for a Light Blue VY?
    Dont want it looking cheap, Want it looking nice and classy with a set of 20" or 19".

    Thanks.

    Well like you said you want good colours so chrome is already out of the picture. Black with a chrome lip seem to look quite good.

    Yeah, I was thinking a deep dish wheel with a Gun Metal Rim, With a Chrome lip or something.

    One more thing, When i spoke to one of the KING spring people, They said if i got SSL's on the rear, And SL's on the front, The car will drop 100mm. True?

    Thanks.
