Hi Guys

I am about to get a set of KMC thunders 20". The guy selling them wants 1600 + shipping.
The questin is he is giving me tires 275/45 tires. I am quiet a novice, will this size work on the VX ?

Thx

Try this link.

You just enter the original tire/rim sizing, and the new tire/rim size. It will give you an idea on what the tires will look like size wise compared to the old set, and tell you what it will do to your speedometer readings.

P.S. I just put Toyo Proxes S/T 275/55 R18's on my VX and they fit perfectly. Remember, this is with an 18" Rim though.

50 series will be taller sidewall and overall - plug the numbers into the tire calcs that have been posted so you can see the overall height differences as well. Typically for the same width tire, the higher the aspect ratio number (50) the taller the tire will be.

Depending on the wheel offset, the tires will fit with minor cladding trim.
