    I just put new 16x8 wheels with bf goodrich 265 75 16 mud terrain km2 tires.... after doing ALOT of research, thanks to the nice people here at vx.info, to me, this was the best combo if you are not doing a lift, or at least not right now.
    i think these tires are super rugged and aggressive looking, they got great write-ups, were reasonably priced and look awesome shoved under the wheel wells, with minimal trimming.

    also, if u do end up doing a lift, they will still be plenty big enough with a lil more room...
    damn site won't let me post a pic...

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the help. Did you do the cladding yourself? How was it? Did you use the dark grey solution? Can you use the black solution? I have the same color vehicross. I think Black would look a lot better then the grey now.

    Yes, i did the cladding myself, with gatorback spray. i put up a thread about it. it really was easy n for someone like me, quite fun... and yes i used black, not grey, i liked the way it looks with the black wheels...
    lots of people have lots of different opinions about the gatorback, but i really love the results. and although it has only been a few weeks since i've used it, i don't think that it will be chipping or fading anytime soon. someone actually "tapped" my back bumper in the parking lot at work yesterday, n nothing happened to the finish at all....
    i don't know y, but for some reason, the site won't let me add pictures to this post...... i thought making a contribution to the site made u better lol....

    i still say that 265 75 16 r def the way to go cause they look awesome stuffed under the lip, but if u add a lift, they won't look tiny
