    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 ?

    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

    You would need 265 tires for sure. Those aspects are about the same as mine. 4.5 backspacing 12 offset. The hub centric part makes me believe they are gm based and will not fit our bores. Other than that, they should be fine. Check out my gallery for the rim specs. Just remember my that my tires are 265/75/16 but you can go with a smaller sidewall.
