VF SS first modifications

[VS 5.0]

My VE with 20s rides better than my old VS with 18s.

As expected.

Aussie Top Gear did a test around their track with VE (IIRC) comparing 19s to 20s.

19s were quicker.

I don't track mine and think that 19s tend to look lost on VE.

Depends on what your after

Make sure you keep the same OE diameter, or as close as possible, 245/40 19..... 26.7"???, maybe, what OE rims and tyres you got

But, offsets ?????, offset is what will make or break any set of wheels and tyres

Get it wrong and it will rub or look crap

Been amazingly helpful in this thread so far mate, appreciate it. I'm sure there will be more noob questions in the coming days/weeks.

How about insurance? What companies are the best for a modified (or to-be modified) VF SS? Just tried two companies and when I went to get a quote on their website, said they won't insure anyone under 25 with the car I have.
