VF EVOKE - changing wheels to SSV tires and wheels. -recommendation

[Nathan Walpole]

Hey!
So I’ve got a 2014 VF EVOKE and am wanting to change the rims over and have been given the opportunity to buy some SSV rims and tires 19 inch..

Would changing from the standard EVOKE wheels to the SSV rims stuff up my suspension??

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Will be just fine...

Oh easy! Just worried that they wouldn’t fit in the wheel well space

Nah, tyre outside diameter is the same as what you have, overall tyre width is only 2cm more than you have BUT the wheel arches are the same on all Commodores so that doesn't matter anyway.

Only downside is that the 19's being larger means the side profile of the tyres is a lot smaller, and it visually makes the wheel arches look larger … 'tis why stock SSV's, SSVR's and CalaisV's (on 19's) look like they're running offroad suspension.
