17" ASA JS5's

[crager34]

This is what I have and soon, I will be lifting my VX. So...I am wanting some input on tires that will fill the well, little or no trimming, and will stick out a bit on the side.
HERE (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp?wheelMake=ASA&wheelModel=JS5&wheelFinish=Silver+w%2FMachined+Lip) is the link to the wheels.

Thanks in advance for you input.

Bumping back to the top... first and last time...promise.

With the lift 31/12.5...no or very little trim up to 33/11.5-12.5 with a bit more trimming (assuming they have the same backspace as stock).

To bad these don't fit the VX (wrong lug pattern). They would look sweet on an Ebony...http://4wheelparts.com/4wp/images/imagebank/WheelPros/XD705_Assault_SM_b.jpg

If I do need to trim... what is good to trim with?

^ this is just one a-hole's opinion, but thats way to bling to be an offroad rim. That stuff gets scratched.

Thats a rim someone would put on their rig to say "I want to go offroad but really don't"

I still think some of the best offroad wheels you can get are the steel rockcrawlers ($40/wheel), the GM bullet/rivet wheel, or the old stock trooper steelie "half-moons". Whateveryou pick, you can't care to much if it gets messed up. At $645 a set, I'd care a bit to much to take them into rocks and mud. :)

I like the looks of American Racing's new series of wheels (especially the Black Teflon units), but I had a friend over at NTB put in a call to them (AR) this weekend and they are pretty sure that they don't have any (new) wheels that will fit the Isuzu hubs, ditto for the VX's wacky offset (+30 for the stock 7" rim).
Most places will sell the 18"s for @$150 a wheel, which is not so bad, especially if you just want to pick up some rim width for wider tires.

I'd really look into the offset of those new wheels, if it's too low, and the rims are wide, it doesn't matter what kind of tires you have, you'll still rub somewhere (I can hook you up with some cladding trimming if you're in town).
