    Center bore and wheel questions.......

    What is our center bore in inches?

    Also what backspacing/offset should I look to get for a new set of rims?

    And what does hub centric mean?

    New to the realms of buying rims. I think im going with rock crawler like steel wheels 16x8 6-5.5/backspaced 4.5in.....with 245/75/16 tires.....Im looking for a large sidewall tire but not as wide as my current 265/50

    Side note I will be lifting my VX in about a month. So how little or large would set up look?

    Thanks.

    i dont know a whole lot about buying wheels... but i would recommend waiting until you lift your VX to get your wheels, i think it will give your VX a whole new look and you may want to take a different direction

    I just put on 16x8 wheels. The rims I bought have a 0 (zero) offset and 4.5 backspacing. I expected the tires to stick way out but instead they only stick out a tad, which makes me happy. Let me know how the 16x8 Rock Crawlers work out, as I might want one for a spare rim.

    Thumbs up

    I'd say they will fit. Those are the exact same specs of my wheels, however mine are American Racing so I do not know how the brands will differ.

    The only thing to do now is a test fit. Since these are so cheap, I would order one, do a test fit on a front wheel to make sure your brake calipers clear the inside of the rim, and you should be good to go. You could always call Summit and ask them if that rim will fit a Trooper or Rodeo of the same year just to be sure.

    108mm is wrong
