Looking for new rims with tires?

[djkymar]

I dont do offroading but i like sometimes to get up on some rocks and park it just to see the look of the suspension. But from what i understand i wouldnt be able to do that if i go with bigger (more diametr) wheels or if i do lift. Hmm i gotta think about it but thanks for your input MrCrowley.
Question for our "lifters" ( those who got VX lifted =) ) how much is a difference driving and handling with stock suspension and lifted?

Sure you can...this is a year ago...about 2-3 inches of lift & 33's.

It depends on a lot of variables. With the tires/wheels above, it handles a lot more sloppy because the taller sidewalls flex more when pushed in a turn.

My current tire/wheel combo is still 33", but the wheels are 20" & the sidewall is shorter, with less flex, so it handles much better, but the trade off is less rim protection off road.

Always keep in mind when doing most major mods...when you change anything, it's a trade off with something else.

Lift & larger tires for greater off road capability = decreased mileage & cornering ability.
It's all about what's most important to you.

"I want rims that would stick out a little bit"

The previous owner did the lift on mine & installed the rim/tire combo. I like the look but the front tires rub in a full turn (just a little & that could be corrected by a little trimming).

I have no idea what the offset is on my rims but I could go to a tire shop to see if they can determine the specs if you're interested.

There are a few pix in my gallery.

Ldub, and you didnt do any trimming?

tom4bren, i like the way your wheels look, did the previous owner did any trimming?

I did extensive trimming, & worked her over good with a 2 lb. hammer. I can now make full lock turns & rarely have tire contact under conditions of suspension compression.

I didn't mean to imply that there was no trimming involved, nor did I see that as a prerequisite in your posts...but I may have missed something ?

Ive been looking around a lot and i really like this rims http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT237703.aspx
Will they fit right with my VX? If so what good tires you guys suggest? with out treaming. Im not offroading much so im looking more for every day road tires.
Thanks a lot

i doubt they would work right on your vx unless you plan to lift... even then it would be a tight fit, those will stick into your wheel wells about 2" deeper than the stock rims... it also doesn't say the hub bore.. you would need to make sure that is at least 108mm

also you will almost without a doubt need wider tires for those rims.. the stock tires (245 width) is only like 9.5" if you were to use that, you would have little to no seal on the rim.. you would probably need at least like a 265
