If u use 40r tyre profile your speedo will be out, so u need to get 35 profile for a 19inch rim

Sweet as, i can still drive on the 40r's yeh? illl just have speedo troubles and maybe scrubbing on the front strut on full lock?

You won't be able to drive with a VE size tyre. It hits the front strut more than just full lock and scrubs badly on the rear.

VT S Pac S2 Manual 2000
Hello, I have just currently done the same thing as chris. Although my 19's are Redline VE SSV Rims with the pre drill to fit my Vt S Pac.

I have stock as sh!t suspension, I need to replace the tyres on them as they are unroad worthy there 235/35r19s

Just seems the front sits alright but the rear looks like it has tones of clearance?
Im pretty new to this

here i have a photo with the stock wheels on it then the 19s
the stocks are 225/50r16s



Now with the 19s












Please give me your thoughts on what you reckon i should do to make it look better?

Like SL or SSL? front and rear or just rear? the clearance of the tyre from the front sturt is only a finger and a half if that.
