18's on VY

RACV would only insure my VY with no bigger than 18's. That's why it has them and not 19's. Full Comp Agreed Value for wheels at $4000 is $627 a year . Prob- Just cars or Shannons!:thumbsup:

I thought that you could only go 2 sizes bigger than stock - ie if you have 17 inch stock you can only go to 19 inch. Also the diameter of the whole wheel(tyre included) must be within 10% of stock size. (changing rim size usually means that total wheel size changes slightly - thats with rubber that fits properly)

not too sure about width though

Alot of companies will insure wheels that are not legal no questions asked (racv wont, they really hassle you about wheel size) but will the other companies pay you if you crash, because they don't have to if the car wasn't road worthy, that's why they don't bother to ask you what size the wheels are

How come they didn't wanna insure you with 19's??
I updated my policy when i got my 19's and its like only costing me an extra 100 or so i think...!

I was told by a guy who works for a insurance company and he said you can go 2in bigger and 1 in wider but check with your insurance company.
