Just a few quick questions for all you tire gurus, is it possible to mount mud/dirt tires that are made for 17" rims onto the stock 18" rims of the VX? (2001) I have the money for new tires, but don't have the fundage for new rims and tires. So is this a possibility or am SOL and have to buy smaller rims for my off-roads.

Regarding tire sizes, when they measure 285x60x18, I get what the 18 refers to, but what about the other numbers? What is the maximum size tire I can get away with height-wise if I install the OME 2.5" lift made for the VX? If anybody can give me some help, it would be greatly appreciated!!
