hey guys i wanna put some 20x8s on my vl, but its looking that the wheels are gunna hit the front struts wat tyres should i use, wat size can i use the existing struts,or do i need coil overs has ne-one done this, ne-one got ne photos of how close the come or wat they have 2 do, cheers bobo

you can get away with standard struts...just use a lower profile tyre and you'll have to lip the guards

They'll fit using the standard struts no worries You should roll the guards at least, but you'll have no dramas - mine are 8.5 wide and I am using 225/30/20 rubber

Yip it's all in the tyre. A lot of people try to put 225/35R20 on and have problems. Use 225/30R20 and you should be fine Also make sure the offset isn't stupidly high (like 50p). Anywhere from 35p-45p will be fine on an 8" rim

thanks heaps guys, hey kalais6 mate, u wouldnt have some photos of how thin your tyres are on the front, how much they cost each and what springs u using in the front

I run 20x8.5's with Wanli 225/30r20's all round and Kings superlow springs. I haven't rolled the guards yet and I have no issues. I still need to get it lowered more in the arse cheers, shayne Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah I'll show ya as best as I can This first pic give you an idea of how the tyres look in terms of profile This gives you a bit of an idea of how wide the tyres look Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just modify the struts like this. I'm sure if you PM WPNVLT he'll be able to fill you in on the finer details Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Tried to mount subbbbies bro!!!

Jeez that's shocking! Especially considering with the right tyre size you don't need to modify anything.

paying $3000 for 20inch tyre package , pay $1000 for coil overs or welding the spring to the strut priceless
