Wheel offset for VE

[YellowDevil]

you can go to a 255/35R20 which is about 2% larger, or a 265/30R20 which is about 0.9% smaller. both wont cause wheel speed issues and i dare say your speedo will be fine (both my VE's read under by a good 5-6%)

Thanks mate.

So what actually sets off the ABS error ? I am not getting it now but I just want to understand how it works so I know what my working range would be.

Difference in wheel speed I assume. Different sizes tyres are going to travel a different number of rotations for a given distance. Ideally you want them as close as possible, but I'm not sure of the percentage margin required to set of the sensors.

Thanks again, yeah I will have to do some more digging. I think the 245/35/20 from the front will be sweet for the back, but i also want to match the stretch on the front so trying to figure out what I can buy that wont trip the ABS, other wise it will look strange.

To get a similar stretch on the 10" as the 9", you'll need an inch wider tyre. So the 275 will be a touch wider and the 265 a touch narrower.

245 on a 10" will have quite a bit of stretch... I've got 255/35R20's on the front of mine with 20x10", I'll get a picture of the stretch for you this evening.

Awesome sounds good keen to see

Not to mention illegal, no traction and will void your insurance if you ever need it.

sounds perfect.

Also defeats the purpose of having a 10" rim

Sounds retarded actually lol

Edit: I reckon you will have to fit the tyres yourself as well, no tyre dealer will do it.

This is a 255/35R20 on a 20x10" rim.

Keep in mind some tyres are narrower/wider than others.

I’d never do that with a front tyre.

Just hitting a pothole could easily break the seal and for me it would be an unacceptable risk that the tyre could roll off the rim whilst turning in hard on a bend.

Definitely no way would I allow my children or family in a car shod like that.

The tyre is fitted to a rim in the acceptable range as per the manufacturer.

Stretching the bare minimum width tyre on a front rim of a car still doesn’t convince me.

You’ve taken the load bearing wall and laid it on a much bigger angle adding stress to the tyre, that may be fine for the rear but I’d never trust it on the front when cornering and particularly on non-perfect road surfaces.

Each to their own I guess as this is a no win argument.

Yeah, that looks dangerous!

(& rather silly but the camera angle might have something to do with the way it looks.)

The rim lip protector on the tyre emphasises it more. Keep in mind a 10" rim is 254mm wide between the beads... so a 255mm tyre is hardly stretched in a dangerous manner.
