Can i run lowered on vmaxx with standard 15s

Post by afcjay »

Cant decide what alloys to go for and just wondered if i got it lowered on the vmaxx kit if i could run on standard 15" steels until i make my mind up or wether it will be to low and cause problems when it comes to speed bumps etc?

You should be able to! But if you go to low it will scrap on speed bumps!

It shouldn't matter what wheels you have on. Bigger alloys have lower profile tyres, and should ideally have exactly the same rolling circumference.

But yes 15s will be fine

Sounds like i need to get lowered then :D

Whats the going rate to get the vmaxx kit supplied and fitted? Can buy the lowering kit for £421 on the bay so how much would i be looking at for fitting?

Also darkside do a extra low kit for the rear which keeps the rear wheel central, is this worth going for or does the rear wheel only pull forward if you go to low? will be running 18s

I'd say just flip axle and 18s will look fine. Plus point is u can still use the van. Mine looks top and is way usable.
