    Default will these fit ok?

    Have looked through the threads but still came up short, Have just brought Giovanna Dalars 5v with a et 45 offset. Now have a VZ SS ute, tyre places say to run a 225-35-20, which up front is ok, but down rear is a 245-30-20 ok without rolling gaurds and will be running SSSl rear springs. Not a fan of running 225s all round and have people run those size's? Have not brought tyre's yet as tyre shops have confused the crap out of me. Any help will really be good thanks.

    At minimum the guards would need the lips pushed up but should be ok. Are the wheels 20x8.5?

    Yeah they are 20x 8.5. The problem is there is so many conflicting opinons on here on size's. Most tyre shops say 245-30-20 should fit no probs, then the other half say no you need 225-35-20.

    Will fit with a guard roll, a close friend of mine is running 20x8.5 +45 with 245/30R20 on superlow king springs (not all that low) and it doesn't scrub, so Imagine with lower springs and 3mm more offset all you would need is to roll the lip on the rear guards up, front would probably be okay also. I'd go for it no worries. For comparison on my VY I have run 19x8.5 +35 with a 245/35 and only had to roll the lip on my guards, no scrubbing at all. Technically they would have sat further out than your setup will, but again my suspension was not all that low, just tucking tyre.

    Well spoke to Ozzy tyres who i brought the rims from, and they say they have fitted 255-30-20 on rear with the et45 offset with no gaurd rolling. They have a black VY SS ute in there gallery and that runs 255 on rear no probs. So they said 245-30-20 should piss it in front and rear. Being in Melbourne of to motorsport wheels and they will put a 245 on and check clearance, and decided to go only SSL springs now to be safe on the rear.

    Yep SSL would be fine, I would still roll the lip of the guards to be sure, if you had a full car or a boot full of gear but it probably won't be needed.. I'd go for it.
