As suggested above a 225/30/20 will fix the issue if the wheels are the right offset. Spacers are illegal.

My mate had them on his vl berlina have gotta ask how he did it but looks like the 225/30/20 are the way to go.. they fit the rear fine just not front rather annoying really thanks for the help guys

yeah spacers are illegal but i used them for about 6 months because i couldnt afford a spare $500 to buy 2 new tyres when the 2 i had were fine. im sure its not gonna be the only illegal thing on your car.

Haha yeah true did the 5mm spacers solve ya prob??? Did they rub at all??? And when ya put the 225/30/20 on did it fix the prob for good??? Oh and the spacers did the rims or tyres hit the outta guard at all???

well mine were 19's but i had 245/35/r19s on and then i put some 5mm spacers on and they cleared and didnt hit the guard but my guards are rolled. then when the tyres needed replacign i went to 235/35/r19s and they fitted fine. just have to give it a shot man and see if it works, i think i payed about $30 for the spacers. my problem was the width but as you come out more the strut goes up more to im pretty sure. so it might work it might not.
