bbs vz 18''

Yes, I've got 225 40 18.

There's nothing to stop you using 215s, but for me I'd have to have a really good reason to do that over 225s. Such as... being spazzy low or heavily spaced. As in you really need the extra room.

If you're not spazzy low or heavily spaced, you won't need the room. It'd be pointless. And look a bit silly in my opinion.

Plus you might be limited in what decent tyres you can get in 215s. If I could fit 235s or 245s without rubbing, I would. You need as much grip as you can get above and beyond stock power.

Any excuse to post pic's of mine. Freshly fitted in Satin Anthracite.
Still standard height and have no intention of lowering it, been there done that! 

[AJP]

Quite like them in anthracite. Might go for that when mine need a refurb. Although they're still immaculate.. (tempts fate!)

GNJ are great. Ive delt with a chap called Graeme in the past. I'd have no problem buying from them. Bought mine (that exact spec you mention) many moons ago from them. Ive just put them back on to sell the car. Plenty of pics in my build thread Id imagine.

Back in the day when I bought them.....



Oh and plenty of room for a BBK, win win!

[MC71]

^^^^ £140 ish inc shipping/duty from the US of A a few years back, rarer than rocking horse do do. Usually some on eBay.de these days....have a look on there.

[kierhanlon6]

That's 30mm down on H&R, Michelin Supersports, no rubbing.

Super Sport isn't listed in that image. There's Pilot Sport 2 and Pilot Sport 4. Out of those, I've heard the PS2 is better, but I've never had them so can't give you any sort of review. Super Sport is a different thing. I've read that they're getting hard to get hold of.. maybe that's the case!

yeah thanks for that, did you buy new wheel bolts and where from mate. no decent car shops around by me so will be buying on line and need locking wheel bolts
cheers

I just used my existing oem bolts. VZ take radius just like the standard ones.

I've got the little oem plastic bolt covers on mine that were on the Monzas when I bought the car. You can't actually see any of the bolts with these on. Maybe an option for you, save shelling out on new bolts if it's just for aesthetics.

As for lockers, I bought a set of McGuards. They're decent.

i don't have any of those where is best place to purchase better idea than buying new bolts. there is some on eBay this is the item number 261725309372. is this what yours are like thanks not for your help you have been brilliant

[AJP]

They're aftermarket chrome effect things, and would probably look a bit dodgy..

These are more like what I have:

162004042707

Can't say for sure if they're the exact same set as mine, hopefully somebody can clarify whether there's a specific size you'd need.

The ones that were on the Monzas were a perfect fit on the VZ though.

Bit of digging and I'm sure you'll find what you need!
