Wheel Spec Info, Hard to find a one stop shop.

I called the tirerack customer service about the center bore issue & they told me that the 108mm is the standart for most 6x5.5 wheels.

Yeah just make sure it is more than 100mm and you will be fine. I just ran into a problem because my lug pattern and center bore were drilled per my specs and the 108mm bore was so big that it is harder than normal for me to line up the lugs when reinstalling wheels, but I am guessing there is less wiggle room to work with if you get the 100mm bore, just seems like I have too much wiggle room to work with.

for what its worth, i just bought a set of 98 rodeo wheels, and they fit fine.

[H3_VX]

Well, the oem wheel is a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern, 38 mm positive offset with 108 mm center bore. I know Littlebeast was able to use 100 mm centerbore but be sure they will fit, espically when trying to remove a hot wheel that has expanded if you get my drift.

Someone here coined a wonderful phrase about the stock wheel and tires making the VX look like it is stand on it's tip toes or something to that effect, but well said.

I went with a MKW M18 wheel (see in my gallery) it is a 8.5 inch with a 18mm positive offset. I also mounted Toyo AT's, 286/60/18. I did have to crank the torsion bars, trim the front cladding and knock back the rear cladding lip, but that step might not be neccessary with the TB crank. Also had to adjust the speedometer +6%, but was simple with the scan gauge Tone sells.

Hope that helps.

Those are the exact specs of my H3. LOL, I should swap wheels on rigs someday. Maybe I have a "thing" for those specs.

Yeah there is a VX on the rims/tires thread with H3 wheels and it looks pretty good... At least if you're into the h3 rims

I'd like to get some new chrome lugs for my VX. Some of mine are rusted. Any suggestions? I looked at some on ebay, but don't know if they're reputable.

[espidus]

I went through the whole wheel,tire, offset thing..... take a look at my thread on that http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=21304 I started it while trying to figure out what would look good. I think my combo came out good, obviously not everyone is going to do 35's though, but theyr'e worth the trouble. My rims are KMC XD Addict 798 18"x9" with an offset of 18, tires are Nitto Trail Grapplers (35"x12.5"). Good luck figuring it out, hope the table on the 1st page of the thread helps.

All I know about lug nutz is...

I'd buy used OEM Isuzu lugs before I bought anything aftermarket from ebay...

Mine were new in 99, & still look good when I scrub my nuts with a stiff brush......

I've never seen any nuts as good as mine, they've never been garaged, & spend the long cold winters outside in the parking lot.

I'd like to continue extolling the virtues of oem nuts, but I'm afraid that interlopers from Jeep forums might read this, & eventually start coveting my swell Isuzu nuts...

OEM...FTW...

I replaced all of mine a few years ago with McGard lugs from Summit Racing. You can get some that look just like OEM. I don't have the part numbers handy right now, but I can do a search if you're interested.

edit: The part number is 64012.

x2, CobraJet; and I concur with the Dubster on not buying poor quality lugnuts from eBay (BTW; I'm glad the Dubster likes his nuts, as I like mine too ). Buy aftermarket lugnuts only from a reputable source like Summit Racing (S.R. only sells top-notch quality products and guarantees what they sell). Summit Racing would be my only source!!!

[MSHardeman]

X3 what CobraJet said. I bought some black lug nuts from McGuard that looked just like the Isuzu OEM's. Got some wheel keys to match too. High quality, and haven't had a problem with them. You can get them other places than Summit, and usually cheaper. Think I got mine from Amazon.

[tysamigo]

Guess I'm getting a few sets from Summit. BTW, the warranty on the McGuard Nuts (summit item# 64012) is:

McGard warrants its products against manufacturer defects for a period of one year after the date of purchase. Lug nuts carry a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The chrome plating on the lug nuts is warranted for life not to chip, peel, or rust under normal use and care.

On the long list of things to do, this one is now checked off, I'm sold.

Thanks ya'll
