Yeah, sorta, I suppose.
19s look great on vn/vps if you get the ride height right.

It looks like it will, but trust me, it doesn't. lol.
Can fit a finger between rolled gaurd lip and wheel rim.
Theres not that much sideways movement of the diff, 'cause theres not really a heap of suspension travel compared to a stock height VP :p

yeah but then u would run into probs with ur wheels hittin the struts...not 100% sure but ino that there aint much room between the strut anyway so i recon it would definatley hit if the rear axel were shorter....

If you put a VL Turbo Diff in it shortens the overall length of the rear axel and brings the rims in off the guard, correct?

You try finding a VL Turbo diff :p

It can be ANY VL diff as they are all the same length obviously, but only the V8 and VL Turbo diffs are 28 spline and 4 pinion like the VN diffs.

Well they used them on the VN Group A and the SV5000... But it does depend how wide you go. That was for 8 inch wheels, alot of 20's are 9 inch wide and could cause that problem?

id just go a 18 by 8 u dont wanna be spendin 500-600 just on rears just coz u went a bit silly rippin skids....i think the max for tyres u should pay is bout 170-200 for a good tread....anything ova that price and it costin too much to rip a lil skid when u want to....the ride difference between 18 and 19 is un noticeable with a good workin shocks....i would go the 18's just coz they are cheaper than 19's not much but ova 4 tyres thats a good 150-200 extra depending....ino that extra inch makes a difference in looks but is that extra worth it...u just gotta make a decision is it worth the extra $$$ for extra inch.....
