ive got VY SS 17's on my VK it fits quite nicely with 235-45 tires. but my guards were already rolled when i bought it, so it must of had big wheels before i owned it.

yeah mine doesnt work either, its stuck on 127,000 kms and the trip metre doesnt work aswell. so how do i fix it? Do i have to pull the gauges out and replace the gears behind it? I have a spare one but the speedometre doesnt work its stuck on 80kph lol. and for the gears im not sure about that.

ok thanks, but I've just re-sprayed my car and the bumpers have just had their clear coats sprayed on it, so my bumpers are pretty much straight off the gun (fresh paint). I havent polished them yet and I thought it would be a bit hard to polish such small plastic pieces. Because when you...
