Hi Guys

im looking to run concave all round on my ve ss... at the moment I have 275 30 20 10inch Rears, 245 35 20 8.5inch fronts..

the wheels I have are ssw aspire black (vossan cv1 copy) with shadow chrome...

now im looking to replace the fronts same as the rear 10inch wide.. tyre place says I can run the same tyres 245 with 10inch wheel but it will have stretch which I don't really like and with a spacer..

will this work, im also running xyz coilovers all round if that helps


Running 10inch all round will this affect my ride, is it safe? whos done it

Thanks guys

You can do a 245 on a 10" personally I think a 255 on a 10" looks great and is my limit for stretch. I like a little but that's my limit and its pretty mild in the stance world too.

you'll need a 20x10 35P in the front. With coilovers a 40P MAY fit with the extra strut clearance coilovers provide. They say 10s on the front make you steering feel heavy but seeeing as your going with a 245 or 255 tyre it should drive like normal and it would only "tram tack" if you had big tyre like a 275 or wider on the front. More tyre = more grip, so heavier steering and it'll want the pull straight with the extra traction.

run a 255 wide at a minimum, will be 100 percent fine on your ve ss, I had for ten minutes 20x10 on the fronts of my ve ss, with 255 tyres , zero issue, loads of room. Only problem was the wheel stuck out the guard so no good

a 10" 35P offset is on the limit and 100% flush with your guard. If your wheel alignments out it will poke. Seeing as you have coilovers a 40P offset wheel should fit and be inside the cars body work, Double check with our fitment guide.

Cant understand why people buy a 10" wheel and put 8" tyres on them?

A 245 is about 9.6"...

A 245/255 is about as wide as you'll fit on a 10" front rim on a VE too.
