Oooo... Like putting a 5 litre in ?

Can we have a hint :)

Fu*k howd you guess it! :p

its just getting prepared for the cruise next weekend, and finishing off some things, and possible the purchase of some new wheels... but the wheels will be a certain holden type because im not really a fan of aftermarket, thats the only hint :)

Wheels UPDATE!

So today i picked up a set of 4 Ve SS wheels, they were heaps cheap considering i got 2 bridgestone potenza tyres and 2 toyo sports, which are all almost brand new. Sadly the wheels came off a Ve and will need to be machined out to fit, but that will be done soon and hopefully with a gloss black powdercoat, but thats a maybe at this stage, but anyways heres some pictures of the wheels, when they get machined i will throw them on :)

nope, the tyres are basically brand new, why? id love to get some smaller profile ones, but these ones have amazing tread.

I think you'll find they are the wrong size tyre for a VS. 235/40/18 is the right size.

yup thats why i asked lol , you can run the 245 but has to be like stock height im pretty sure . but 90% of the time you have to change the tread , thats what stopped me buyying a set of them ages ago

Damn! ill give them a go, soo how much they rubb, they probably will heaps but!

also trayner, what lug nuts do you use, because forgive me if im wrong, but supersports are made for 14mm studs, which means the lug nuts must be wider to accomodate for the movement in the wheel, help would be much apreciated!
