Post of all Rims and Tires out there!

[wekilled]

Just got back from Afghanistan and itching to spend some on upgrades. First are badly needed new tires-so I might as well go bigger in size.

Anyone have a side-view photo of eternal21's setup with the 18" Gear Blackjack Rim/Nitto Terra Grapplers? a few pages back? I am doing the same setup. (not intentional, I ended up getting a good deal on Discount Tire for the 285/60R-18 XL 120S B tires and was looking for black rims.

Just want to see what I am in for in terms of how far they stick out from the fenders. Hard to tell in the 3/4 views. I see lots of people here at Fort Benning who run with tires outside the wheel wells, just planning ahead for when I move yet again.

Installed my new wheels today. Gear Nitro's 18x9s, +18 offset on NTG 285x60x18.
My VX had some trimming already done when I bought it.

I'm in trouble!!!

My tires won't make the trip, so I need a new set before SUNDAY!!!

I want to keep the stock rims, I drive like my VX is a sports car and I NEVER EVER take it off road. I would like to have something that looks "cool" to match everything else but at this point, Im not sure what will happen.

I'm still coming to Moab, but I really need help!!!

Can someone point me in the direction of a cool looking tire, something that will look right but that can hug corners???

PLEASE HELP!!

I'm going to re-post this message again on the Moab thread just in case everyone doesn't read this one.

I really really appreciate any help!!

I've run Kumho Ecsta STX tires for many years, and think they handle great in all weather. They fit the stock rims without any lift or trimming, and look good. A little wider than stock, but not too wide for the rims (like 285 series.) In stock at Tirerack.com.

I'd been looking for a Volk TE-37 type wheel for offroad and I found these wheels on the Tacoma World forum. They are 18x9 zero offset 108mm hub FN Wheels BFD.

I had them powdercoated Lollypop Red over Super Chrome and had the brush bar done to match. The top red coat is transparent so they really have a lot of depth to the shine.

The tires are 285/65R18 Nitto Terragrapplers. Since they are zero offset they rubbed a lot. I had to do about 8 turns on the torsion bars, trim the front cladding and also unbolt the bracket in the back of the front wheel well and drill a new hole further back to pull the plastic back.

The cladding has one coat of Showroom New black dye applied with the foam roller, really happy with how it turned out.

NICE.. ( glad ya figured out the pic posting )

Maybe a tad nose high?

If you feel same..
... OME springs in back would help offset the
Torsion bar crank "lift" up front.

Good looking VX

Looks great Alaskan7

Very original and well done. Perfect rim offset too IMO.

Must have been quite a lift you put on your dog too!!

Ive had these 20" wheels and Falken tires sitting in my showroom
ready to put on my VX now for a yr and today decided to put them
on and see how I like them.
(my 17" worx are still ready to go back on if I decide I dont like these.)
but these are growing on me fast, but the 17" have a lot of positives too.
