Wheel and Tire question

[tom4bren]

Major rubbing in the rear of the front wells. Front of these wells was as expected and easy to fix.

Mine rubbed deep inside the wheel well at full lock. The tires are so worn now though that they don't rub any more. I'll be breaking out the BFH whenever I get new tires tho.

Mine also rubbed the NERF bar brackets that I got from Tone so they've never been installed (offset at fault ... not Tone).

Modding the cladding a little is VERY insignificant. I didn't wanna do it either when I got bigger tires, but it really is no big deal.

Same here. I was scared at first, but it was soooo worth it once I got them on.

Hi Earl--- No harm, no foul. Actually, I feel pretty proud of you because you took one of my first initial suggestions in using the Yokohama Geo in 275/60R18 (31" O.D./42 lbs) that I recommended in a very early E-Mail to you. Fellow VX member "ScottinMA" had very simular difficulty with his wide 9" rims and we found that the Yoko was the only true A/T manufactured in that size that still allowed "swing arc" clearance on the VX.

Your VX looks simply stunning with a "Tom4Bren" kinda' flair. If you had heavy 285/65R18 (60 lb) tires on your VX before, then I'm sure your VX is extremely nimble now with a very sporty feel. Well done, Earl.
