- Wider setups may require guard rolling
Common Fitment Mistake (Very Important)
A common issue we see:
Trying to fit VE/VF wheels onto VK
→ VE/VF centre bore = ~66.9–67.1mm
→ VK centre bore = 69.5mm
Result:
- Wheel will NOT seat correctly
- Causes vibration or unsafe fitment
Correct solution:
- Use correct bore wheels, or
- Proper machining / hub-centric solution
