will ve ssv 19s fit?

[themark]

hey im getting some ve ssv 19s and want to know if they will fit my vy.
im aware the hubs need machining but my concern was the tyres.
theyre 235/40 i think and i was wondering if i will have any rubbing issues.
the car is going to be sitting at suoer low height.

any help would be appreciated.
cheers

They should fit fine, you might have to get your guards rolled like i did.. it's pretty cheap. Just make sure you go somewhere that does it properly.

how much did it cost you?

oh and another question..
does anyone know anywhere cheap to get them machined?

cheers

The tyres will most likely be 245/40R19 and they are too big for your VY. You need 245/35R19's.

so even if i roll the guards they will still be too big?

 

[thewheeldeal com au]

By too big I mean to say that they (245/40R19's) are 679mm in diameter and 245/35R19's are 654mm. Your standard tyres were most likely about 645mm in diameter.

What does all this mean?
1. Your car will be higher off the ground as the diameter of the tyres is larger.
2. You MAY have problems fitting them under the guards (you might not either)
3. Your speedo will be out (more than it already is).
4. Acceleration is decreased.
5. Brake performance is decreased.
6. The tyre size increase is not legal. (you can only increase by 15mm)

but if i got the sppedo recalibrated by a tech 2 that will resolve that issue wont it?
im not worried about the decrease in braking and acceleration.
and i guess i will risk the last one.

my mate had 20s on his vz which was dumped and they fit fine.
they were 235/35/r20 i think

Hmm I'm thinking about getting the same rims but for my VX acclaim and was wondering the same. Also i thought if you got a HSV 19- 20" rim tyre placard and put it on your car you can have 19's legally.

 

[thewheeldeal com au]

19" and 20" rims are legal on pre VE's... that's not the issue, it's the tyre size and load rating that you need to be careful of. You don't need to change your tyre placard (which is illegal too).

i got ve ssv's on mine running 245/35/r19 and its meant to have SSL kings in the rear but i dont think it does, anyway if i was to go lower i would have to get the guards rolled/pumped because theres about a finger width between the tyre and guard now..check out my ride for pics link is in sig.
