New Rims on my VL

[snowybill]

I'm not saying its impossible.

I just don't want the trouble/expense of 20's.
Id rather sit low on 18's than be ridin high on 20's

i know this bloke who had 20's on his vl

875478 vl's have 20's
Its just a matter of the right suspension setup an also the right profile tyres aswell

but 18's are a good size
Good choice

 

[snowybill]

are you saying that eight hundred and seventy five thousand odd VL's have 20's?

Considering there were only 151 000 or so ever built... lol

by the way guys... how much would it cost approx to get an adjustable panhard rod and nolathane bushes? AND, as im a car noob.. lol what exactly do they do ? cheers, i know I know F#$k all, but... i figure this is a good place to learn lol..

Correct lol

Adjustable panhard rods are roughly 150 an nothanlane bushes are about 50

When u lower a car it puts the diff off centre, so an adjustable pan hard pulls it back to centre once you have adjusted it, the bushes are the rubber bits on the pan hard rod you will see once you buy one, pretty simple to put on yourself aswell

lol okay.
well sounds good, i think i'd leave it to the professionals though lol.
Cheers

G'day guys, ive dug this thread out coz im much closer to buying my wheels now, and want to be sure that they will fit, I'm wondering will 18x8 fit my car, atm im running 235/45 R17 94V with what i think are 18's... i measured 18 inches rim diameter.. but hell i coulda got it wrong. Plus when i search for new tyres is only lets me look for tyres to suit 17 inch tires... so this makes me think they're 17's as well. Any help would be appreciated

Cheers, snowy.

i had 235 45s on 18s used to scrub like anus. Front gaurds copped a beating. This was on my berlina and its lower then legal height.... check my thread to see how they used to sit... The rims are now on my fagwag and dont scrub at all... because its stock height.
