You can advoid it by running 225 on 18,19 and 20 inch rims plus you can get a camber put in to help but it shouldn't scrape as mine doesnt

ur rears dont look like SL frm the pics (4 cm is pretty high) the rear guards should sit level with the tyre or just under.

225's look **** tho not wide enough.

mates vt, not sure what he put in the front, but the rear is vs super lows, it doesnt have a camber kit but it has had the guards lipped and it doesnt scrub anywhere.

yeah ULTRA is another word for SSSL

i actually had a talk with a king spring sales ep about this when i was looken for springs for the ve.

L=Low
SL=Super Low
SSL=Ultra Low
SSSL=Super Super Low

dont ask me why, i have no idea, i think its pretty stupid to be honest.

i think it should be

low
superlow
super superlow
then ultra low

that would make more sense..

in the pic with the car with vs superlows, is the guy on top of the back? because i havent heard of a car that is that low for superlows, id think they were "super super lows"

True but they want scrap or cut the lip of the rear guard and squeeze a 235 in

I'm only running 215 rears now. Hate the grip level. Couldn't imagine anything under 245 with larger rims.
My old VP runs 225 plenty of grip.
