im looking some serious advice and help - what size wheel will fit under a vl as per offset im looking to use convo pro 8 1/2 and they come in 2 offsets and realise the need for a shorter width diff to achieve a good dish but also wondering if this can fit without mini tubs so if anyone has been down this road please let me know what you think any help appreciated thanks

An 8.5" rim will fit fine with around 40p offset on a standard VL diff. The tyre choice will make or break the fit

need 42p or higher ve wheels work really well with a 48p but 8.5 is the widest you can go.

I had 19x8.5 with 38p and the fitment was mint. I know if people who have fitted 19x10 inside the rear with careful measuring and custom wheels, but it's a tight fit and not easy to get right first time
