my older brother has a set of ve ss 18s that i can buy off him for a really good price But the tyres are 235/40/18s i know they wont fit on the front as it hits the struts but would they fit on the back with these tyres ??? or would i need to get a hole new set Its for a vl calais also Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

235/40R18s should work fine front and rear. Have the rim centres been machined to fit pre VE cars?

235/40/18's are the correct diameter sized tyres to use, so there shouldn't be any problems with that. The issues *may* come in with the offset of the rim. If the offset of the rim is +45 or +48, you should be fine - both front & back - however, you may need an adjustable panhard rod.

I believe the offset on VE 18x8 is 48p, so they should be fine

can any one say if they have fitted this to a VL as im having trouble with the fronts hitting on the strut,is it the tyre size or a strut problem? 18x8 245 45 18 48p VE calais?

I've replied in the other thread you asked, but basically you need to get the rim centres machined to fit pre VE cars Here you go -> http://calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=165577 EDIT: Just re-read what you said, VE tyre size is way to big for VL's, you need 235/40R18s (plus the rims need to be machined)
