Pick out my rims and tires!

[darrog01]

I just purchased a silver VX and it needs tires...which also means rims. Looking to keep it stock height for now. So what is the best rim tire combo in your mind. Post pics.

Plus, why would you want someone else pick something as personal as rims? When it comes to wheels, people’s likes and dislikes vary greatly!

For instance, to me, black color hides the wheel design, so pretty much all black wheels look about the same (especially in photos). I think that it is a great way to hide ugly wheels, that you do not actually like. But I would never get attractive wheels in that color, it would be waste of perfectly good wheel And of course, I am aware how many people absolutely LOVE them.

But, stock 18" wheels are not all that bad (again, personal opinion) and with VX's being so rare, most "normal people" think that they are aftermarket, anyway.

Ok. I reviewed the 200+ plus pictures on the tire/wheel thread. I have decided I care more about the tire. However, I don't think I can get the aggressive look that I like without a lift. So how much of a lift do I need in order to fit tires like the Toyo MT or the Nitto Mud?

How much lift you need depends on several factors...
tire size, wheel offset and how much cladding you are willing to trim.

Hopefully this will teach you never to ask such a question....

If you chose to go with the stock 18 inch rims. These are the stock 18's sitting on Nitto Terra Grapplers 275/65R18's. They fit great with only some super minor trimming to the inside front fenders.

Opinions. There are sayings about how much opinions are worth. Its your ride. To prove my point, I have original 16" wheels and stock soze tires on my 1999. I like the look and wouldn't change it no matter how many owners here might differ. If/when the tires wear down, I will go with Ironman tires. I have them on my Veloster by chance.
