I'm not big on wheels that extend past the sidewall, myself. Seem to have enough issues with curb rash to not stick out appendages - it's like walking with your fingers extended to the sides - you're gonna snag something at some point. JMHO

Easy rule = ignore gm wheels or end up like bimati or that new owner. We have a larger center bore.Quote:

Actually, this is not so true. Older GM trucks required a bigger bore size because of locking hubs on solid axles, ala Dana 44. When GM trucks went IFS in '88, the design required hub-centric wheels or vibration could occur, this is why they shrunk the hub bore size. Certain newer GM stuff might work now too! Not sure yet... I have been considering a 2nd wheel/tire combo and have been looking at H3 rollers on eBay for awhile. The Hummer H3, GMC Canyon, and Chevy Colorado all share parts, and their rims may be an option for us. These chassis require a wheel with a bigger bore (minimum 4-3/16" or 96.8 mm) compared to the normal Chevy hubs (78.3 mm) which are a hub-centric setup. Apparently, the H3 guys have been running into trouble trying to use the normal GM aftermarket wheel options because the stock H3 wheels have a 110 mm bore size! If our rigs have been using wheels with a 108 mm bore we may have a slurry of new candidates on the way because of the popularity of these GM vehicles! :) These might look cool on a VX: http://www.adv4x4.com/h3tw16inwhwi.html My kind of bling!Quote:

nah im pretty sure bimatis problems were from his lift and CV issues.. he put something like 35k miles per year on his VX so once a problem started they went downhill fast from all the miles
edit
found the old thread.. he offset his wheels way out (the 2in spacers..) which meant he had to crank the T-bars waaaay up which tore his CVs.. which after 40k miles of dirt and stuff in there.. destroyed the axles
As sure as I said I was... :rolleyes: But what kind of problems could the wheels cause? If they fit, they fit; if they don't, they don't... and if they don't, you couldn't mount them. :confused: Do you know something we don't?Quote:

That would be great news if we were able to look at more of a rim selection though.
That could be, I guess, if they were poorly made spacers they could cause problems. The only thing that concerns me somewhat about the H3 wheels IS the offset. They are 7.5" wide with a 38mm offset. I tried to get an eBay seller here in Salt Lake to let me test fit one months ago to no avail.
what kind of borbets are they though? do they have a code, like say, vx? lol:gring:
cw3 or cw-3 i dunno the formatting
18x8 Borbet CW3's. since the VX sold, wheels may soon be up for sale.

love my borbets... I have chrome CW3's 18x8 with 255/55/18 Toyos.
if you decide to sell the CW3's give me a heads up... that is if they aren't chromes... i like the flat color
-Richard
You can also run a search for "Cobra Alaska 18" and you'll find the same wheel. (Version C1213)
i've got the silver finish borb's.
