    FINALLY!! Got the new tires.

    I had the rims from the previous owner - ASA TRS 17x9 rims. Tires are Nitto 404 Extreme Force 275/65/17. Had to trim about 1/4 inch, but I got exactly what I wanted with the filling out of the wheel well. Previous size were 255/60/17 Pirelli Scorpian Zero's. Been working in Omaha, NE for a bit and we just got aobut 5" of snow last night. I went out and found an open parking lot...tires performed very nice. Also found a couple steep (kinda) dirt roads and again, tires were nice.

    What's the offset on those rims? They fill it out perfectly.

    Rooster - The rims came with the VX from the previous owner.. I think he is still active here from time to time. I purchased the tires from DiscountTire.com and I know the rims are available at TireRack.com (not sure of the cost).
