my mate is putting 22s on his vl and doesnt know his next course of action he has the wheels and tyres he got 22x9 does anyone know if he needs to shorten his diff and how much that will be??

the next step is to get tyres.... HSVSS has custom 22's on his walky calais and that sits really high even with the walky bodykit. even 20s look huge on a non kitted VL, look at MILF you only need to shorten your diff if your using deep dish rims and you want the rim to sit in the wheel hub there is other things to consider, will it clear the springs? because the new rims are 9 inches wide, standard vls had 7 inch wide, ive heard of 20x8.5's work but i doubt it if you can clear the springs with 22x9's...

tub it

coil overs, shortend diff and mini tubs... wont scrub at all that way

you'll need to get the gaurds rolled and flared unless u want damaged tyres\gaurds and also you will need to take out the splash guards from underneath the front guards or like yellow747 said tub the ****ker!

sell them and get 19's

22's r dirty on a vlt this is where u need to be a good friend and tell him its a stupid idea and he might aswell put neons on it

Will make the car look like a roller skate... dont bother

HAVIC has 22s on it, not sure on the mods but doesnt seem to suit that well... too big maybe! Steve Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks like poo 22 is way to big 20 at the very most. put a winche on it and go hunting Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks way to big Doesnt suit at all.. Go something a few inches smaller ...19's , or 20s max

makes it look like a 4wdddddd, escalade styles, i could probably crawl under it lol

yeah too big, and makes it look high as, 19s r the way

Arent you glad you asked the question now ???????? Best talk to a pro and get a proper idea of where to go and what to do, but it will involve getting offsets changed, coilovers and some rolling and guard work for sure. Not a job for someone who has to ask how to do it after they already bought them

Landcruiser styles that blue thing looks ridicilous, (sorry to the owner, but it does) looks like a lil jap car coz the wheels are soo huge... way to big for the car see how high it is looks like its been RAISED 2" not lowered! that ground clearence will rival a HUMMER! 22's is just stupid, leave it for the real hummers, and escalades Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have had 20s on one of my vl's for about 2weeks then took them of any sold them, Make the car look stupid.. car sat lika a boat when i had them on. Like someone else said 19s for vls no bigger. I learnt my lesson paid 3500$ for the 20s then sold em 2weeks later for 2400$ lost over a Grand..
