- VK wagon, S1 VE wagon SSV8
Hi -- I have a VE SS-V wagon but am posting this in the VF section as I have been fortunate enough to have located some VF Series 1 Redline rims (19" staggered) which I want to put on mine. I bought the car with chrome Speedy 20" which I don't like. Plus, my VE has the VF Brembo brakes retro fitted so another reason that's why I needed the Redline rims.
The question is, can anyone remember what tyres (size and make) the Series 1 Redlines had fitted at the rear from factory? I have my eye on Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 3) 275/35/19 but they're not in stock in WA so will have to be ordered from over East. The Bob Jane guy here reckons that it might be better to go for a 30 profile as the 35 had a tendency to scrape the guards .
So I wanted to ask what size and make the factory put on so I can know a bit more before I make a decision. Also has anyone with the wagon and the staggered 19" rims had a problem with wheel arch clearance with the 35 profile?
Many thanks.
