Final advice needed

I think im done looking for a wheel. Decided to go with some pro-comps.
16x8 6-5.5
and they come either hub centric or not. Which is right for the VX?????

The offset would be 0 vs stock 38, i.e. your wheels will be out 1.5". I'd don't go with it. I'd look for the same wheels with back spacing no less than 5.5 (http://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html).
If I correctly understand the term, the front wheels are hub centric, the hub diameter is 100 mm (it is possible to install wheels designed for bigger diameter, but not smaller). And there's nothing wrong to install hub centric wheels on the rear (I believe they should be different by the hub cup size, but check if the hub cups are supplied at all).

I have had my wheels on for over 5 years now and they have a "0" offset, and there are a few things to keep in mind when straying from factory....

uncle_asa is right, be careful with the offset. I am probably the "King of VehiCROSS.INFO Wheel Well Trimming" since I have done it so much on mine. Of course, I have 18x8.5 wheels with fat 285/60s which leaves the wheel well and tire tight with space, but even with your size, it is something you should keep in mind when going for your tire size. The offset pushes the wheel out of the well more meaning turns are more likely to cause fender rub. Heck, I just put new tires on that are the same size as my old ones, and I find myself trimming again.

And with a different offset than factory, vehicle weight is changed minutely, so be sure to get an alignment. Offset difference can also wear your bearings faster.

So essentially if I was and I am wanting to get a 16'' rim, what would be the exact or possible dimensions???


16x __ or __ or __

6-5.5

Offset __ or __ or __ or __

Backspacing __ or __ or __

Hub centric or not or does it completely matter?

I am glad I did not get those yet. I was about to put my order in online without even calling last night becuase they were closed. I want to get a 245/75-16 tire. Any suggestions on that. I am currently running 265 and think I want a narrower tire with more sidewall.

Thanks for any help....

The stock wheels for Isuzu are 15", 16", and 18", 7J (rim width), 6x5.5, ET+38 (offset), back spacing (5.5), D100 (center bore).
I believe for the 245/75 the best would be 7J, ET+25 through ET+38 or 7.5J ET+20 through ET+32. See picture to convert ET to backspacing:

Normally, if you go with wider tires you should end with wider rims and lower offset (f.e. for 265 tires it would be best 7.5J or 8J and ET=38-(265-245)/2=28).
The center bore should be not less, but common 108-110 are OK (you hardly find 100 exactly, but beware of the wheels with D78 - they will not fit!).

I'm personally running 245/70R16 on 7J ET+20 and I wish the bigger offset since my car become dirty a bit quickly.

Wow I am lost. Why cant it just be easier?

I think it will mostly depend on how big you go with tires. The American Racing rims I just put on were 16.8 with a 0 offset and 4.5 on the backside and they don't stick out that much at all. At least, imo they look good and the amount of sticking out does not bother me in the least. But, I think it depends on the size of the rim and the manufacturer. Worm's rims seem to protrude a little more than mine, but I think that might be because they are bigger.

Here is the thread about my rims

I also only put on LT245/70 R16s and only had to trim a smidge, which is fine cause I really didn't want to trim at all.

PS - I know exactly what you're going through, I dwelled on those Chambers for like 6 months before I actually worked up the nerve (and the money) to buy them. Its a lot of money for something you aren't 100% positive will work.
