Looking good mate...

Quick question with the VE SSV rims what size tyres are u running on them ??? (front + rear)

Also did u have to roll ur guards or anything to fit them ....
Gday, they are 245/35/19 all round. Clears everything and no guard rolling. No scraping
even with people in the back with SLHD King springs...all good...cheers

No problem. I bought a wheel/ tyre package that came with nuts and they also
Included the centre bore machined but its around $50 bucks a wheel here. I compared the nuts they gave me to my stock vxss wheel nuts and they are exactly the same so the originals would do the job.

That tyre size is for the VE. If you use those tyres your speedo will be out and they might scrub on your front struts. Use a tyre size calculator on the net to see how much your speedo will be out by inputting factory tyre size and then new tyre size ( could be around 5kmp/h more..)

Cheers M8,yeah white holds up well over the years, still like new after 10+ years but black looks so
stealthy and mean when its clean and polished. Wish I could have both....

How can you not scrub dude? I'm sitting on 245/35/19 with kings low and I scrub under hard acceleration or when theres heavy people in the back seat!
