3k for the rims hey.... How much tread we talking? And have you got a shortened diff or do they fit that well under a VL? Im putting em on a VL Wagon so want em to fit under the guards.

Wellsy- If your keen on the Wheels, PM me, as i want to keep this thread just for the VL itself... But in answer to your question, The 19's bolt straight onto the front. Get lock to lock with no scrubbing.. The 9" is exactly 29mm per side shorter than standard. Ive got 8mm spacers on the rear - with extended threads.. Thus meaning its shortened aprox 21mm per side.. But if you look at how much room their is between the rim and the outer guard, theirs more than 21mm free. But just the same, ive had 16x7's scrub on a VL.. just depends how the rear end is setup.. As for a wagon - ive no idea! Any more questions/comments on the wheels, PM me.. Thanks..
