    Hey James,
    I have Toyo 275/55 R18's on stock rims. My VX handles fine. I guess I noticed a little difference when I first got them installed, but now I don't notice any severe issues with handling (no severe pulling or cornering issues). Maybe you should keep your tires on for a little while to get used to them. or switch back to 18's and get the 275's. Seems like some pretty expensive Rim/Tire package of your's to give up on so soon!! Just thought I would throw in my $.02.

    That's Sweeeeet! It's nice to know that some companies still allow a little wiggle room when it comes to making a choice!! If you would like to see any pictures of the tires that I have, just let me know. I got them from Tire Rack for $105/tire. There may be better deals out there, but used them due to prior experience.

    Looks nice James makes the vcross look tougher. You guys were talking about offset and ride. I have 18's on mine ( 18x9. w/ 4 1/2 offset) Yoko's 255/55R18 and they are about flush with the cladding, might stick out alittle. I do feel more road cracks with the lower profile tire compaired with the stock 16's. But road response with the 18's is vgood.

    Keep `em, they look sweet.

    I have 285/55/18 Pirelli Scorpions on stock 18's that I bought from VX Crazy.

    The wider tires do pull, especially when I was used to 245/70/16 on stock 16's. I adjusted after a while and it wasn't a problem.

    Now that I'm back on the old 16's with some new 245/75/16 M/T's for winter I notice a difference again and it's taking me a little while to adjust.

    No worries though.
