Hey Gazza, thats the bit I'm not over the moon about, Wheels are 20x 8.5 and 20x10's. Rear tyres are only 255's. I'm speaking with supplier about going taller and wider on rear, they just don't fill the guard enough.

Cheers Paul

Hi Paul,

You can check the size of the new tyres with the original fitment with the following link...
Tire size calculator

It's a tyre/wheel calculator.....

I'm Getting some 20" tomorrow - 8.5" on the front with 245/35 tyres
and 10" on the rear with 275/30 tyres.... Which is a pretty standard/common
combination.... I was gonna go to 285 on the rear but a 10mm increase in width made the price jump too high as they are not as common as the 275..
The rule is that the rolling diameter should be within 3% or less of the original Specs....(stock wheels/tyres) Otherwise it throws out your Speedo & Odometer too much.....

Default Vertini Fashion
Hey Paul,

Are your wheels the Vertini Fashion? Did they use spacers on the rear wheels?

I had ordered the Vertini Hennesy and the fronts just cleared the brake caliper block, but the rears would have needed a 6mm spacer, so as spacers are illegal in Qld I had to select another brand...Are spacers legal in Canberra?

Gary..

G'day Gumpy, Handling is slightly stiffer, and minimal increase in road noise.

Cheers Paul
