Welcome. Ive been thinking about getting those wheels that you have. But was thinking that they might be too wide for the vl. Was there any hassles in getting them to fit?

Im getting a little rubbage but I havent rolled the lips any yet. The main rubbage is actually at the rear where the rear soiler mounts and goes up the arch. Its nothing major and will be easily remidied.
