The bolt pattern is fine, but that's a wide wheel. Gonna stick out from the fenders almost 2.5" more than the stock wheels.

Whether it'll fit or not really depends on the tires you choose.

Hey Daver!

Thanks for your reply :D

Do you have any idea of the size of our stock 16" rims?

What size tires would you recommend for the 20" x 9.5" ....the less they stick outside the fender the better.

Thanks again,

Are you looking at a particular wheel? Be sure that it is compatible with the VX's hub... that bolt pattern is the same as most full size chevy/GMC trucks too... but they won't all fit due to the larger hub's on foriegn vehicles like the VX... at one point I was eyeballing a set of Weld EVO wheels but turns out that the hub wasn't compatable... soo... check to make sure... if you don't know for sure, try to buy from a reputable, local dealer that will test fit them... just an idea.

TTYL!

I have an 18x8.5 with a 0 offset and they still stick out a good 1". In my opinion, it doesnt look too bad at all, but my state law says no no. As far as just looks though, 1" seems like the furthest I would go on it, unless I lifted it up and stuck some big old 38"s under there. ;) A 9.5 sounds rather heavy for the VX and will surely cause handling changes in your ride. Without a lift, you will surely be doing some heavy trimming too, and I mean HEAVY.

Stock lift with Enkei 18x8.5s and Yokohama AVS 285x60s.

Good luck on your new shoe endeavor.

Yeah.....that looks WICKED!

I'd say 1" is about the most I'd like the wheels to stick out....What make of wheels/tires are those WormGod?

I decided against the 20" x 9.5" after all the info from you guys :D

I'll probably go for the same wheel in a 20" x 8.5" with a 6 offset.....but what makes the wheels/tires stick out so far? Is it the offset or the 8.5 measurement?

Thanks again guys !
