You need to get the centres machined to fit VL hubs Front tyres use 225/30R20 Rear tyres use 245/30R20 (or 255/30R20 max) even then it will be tight The only way you are going to know for sure is to try it And obviously you will need to roll the guards and use an adjustable panhard rod

Just find 4 fronts (20x8) and use 225/30/20 tyres and it'll be fine. No chance of fitting the 9.5inch rears unless you mini tub it and shorten the diff ...and as far as fitting 255s on the back with 20inch rims = LOL

Stock diff. 255s are the same width as 255s It was tight, but not a problem Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm still yet to find a 225/30/20 tyre with a load rating of over 85 which you can't legally use on a VL. I went to numerous tyre shops and didn't have any joy.
