Hi just need some help will i have head ace fitting a 20 by 8.5 inch rim more concerned bout the 8.5 width than the over all size

whats the problem you had fitting them? its not the rim size you have to worry about, its your tyre sizes.. don't people use the search button no more

the width the 8.5 i was wondering if any1 had put that size under a vl with no head aches before i buy a set on ebay

your gonna need 225 30 profile if you dont want them to rub on your front struts or u can get adjustables for the front

so with that size tyre should be fine before i have 2 pull the sledge hammer out and start bashing lol

225/30/20

Offset?

cant 235/30/20 fit?

Depends on the offset and a few other things like if the car has coilovers and how well the rest of the car is setup

the offset is 45 i am not worried bout the tyre size it's the rim width 8.5

8.5 is fine, its pretty much the standard width for a 20" rim just get 225/30/20 and you'll have heaps of room with the 45 offset

225/30. is unsafe. i had a word with pedders.

Thanx patch, This is why i ask people on here cause i am sure plenty of people have given it a go

222/30/20, rolled guards, adjustable panhard bar. can go lower without scrubbing even with full car. even with reverse patternd rim. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

^^ What springs and hows the ride comfort?

just make sure u cut ur seatbelt bolt that comes through into the inner gaurd otherwise u wont have an inner sidewall once u go for a drive with a full carload

I better get rid of my dose pipe my lowered springs my exhaust system fuel reg and everything else. I don't want my car being illegal

You know exactly what I mean. Tyres are load rated for a reason, hence why we see people having blow outs. Personally I'd rather keep my own car with a "dose" pipe and lowered springs safe
