    I don't know guys,but my mind keeps popping in new ideas about wheels & tires set.

    Today i saw one of those BMW X5 with the upgrade wide wheels & tires.

    After that moment my thoughts were.hmmmm. my VX would probably looks very peppy with a set of two 20x10'' wheels at rear & 20x8" at the front.

    Did any of you guys had a set up done like that before ?

    Will this set up cause any down fall on the VX performance.

    I haven't choose any set of wheels and tires so far,however i got few on my list.

    All input are welcome guys.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    While I can't say for sure, but wouldn't staggering the wheel size have enough of a weight difference to cause the TOD to be unhappy?

    Yeah that would be my concern, and would look more like a "car" than an off-roading machine.

    That, & the difference in drag, rolling resistance, & or traction would also be contributing factors to making the TOD possibly "freak".

    I guess it's not a good idea though !

    I'm playing with two wheel sizes the 20x9 or 18.8.5 all around,but i don't want go lifted if the 20x9 is the choosen size.

    American racing have two nice models;The Jr cannon in silver & black & the assault also in silver & black which blend perfectly with my VX.

    But yet still is somehow hard to me to believe that adding 20 x 10" at rear & 20 x 8,5 or 9 " at the front can deffinetly make the TOD freak because of the dragging,the sizes difference aren't so huge + the weight can't be more then 1 pound.

    However i'll research for more info about this,make few calls here n' there for expertise opinion. Thank you guys !
