hey all...

I am considering going bigger with wheels (tires and rims) for my VX.

My current set up is as follows:
-285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers
-18x9 Black Rhino Sidewinder wheels (offset +12)



-OME 913 springs
-torsion bars cranked
-front and rear cladding/fender trimmed at front wheel wells
-no ball joint flip
-no brake lines changed

Thinking of going with:
-Maybe going with same brand of wheels in 20x9 with same offset (+12)
-33x12.5x20 Nitto Mud Grapplers
-OME 912? (do I need to change springs or can I add a spacer to OME 913)
-ball joint flip? (will this be needed now if I go bigger)
-lengthen brake lines for new height?
-additional trimming of cladding/fender at front wheels wells if needed
-adjust torsion bars if needed
-another alignment when finished


My questions:

-I've always adored the look of Little Beast's set up with the original 33's. Will this upgrade hurt anything (other than gas mileage) mechanically long term?

-Those who did this mod, any issues with driving/control/braking?

I've done most of the mods myself, except for the alignment. So, I'm pretty comfortable having to upgrade/change a few items if needed.

I know these are a lot of questions and I've done as much research I can regarding the topic to answer most. Just want to get other opinions whether it's worth changing my existing set up as I can go either way. Thanks in advance. rudy
