18" Replacement Wheels (one more time)

[I_Wanna_Retire]

Ok, I did a search, but it was not clear what, if any, answer there is. All of my wheels are peeling quite badly. What replacement wheels have other owners found? Preferably in non-chrome as I am in Northern Wisconsin where the winter salt is really bad. Thanks

Thank you Uncle Asa. I just spent a half hour browsing. I like the Dominator Teflon ARs.

I looked, and the filter limits the offset from 0 to 20, our O.E.M. offset is 38mm.

[I_Wanna_Retire]

Ok, but what does that really mean? With the +12 offset, I thought that just meant the wheels would stick out further than OEM, thereby presenting a 'bulldog' stance?

[rowhard]

Yes, a 12mm would push the rim edge out 1 inch, clearance could be an issue

Would any of you folks with wheel/tire experience be able to tell me if 265/65/R18's would work with this wheel on my beloved VX?

Where is the rims specs on that sight....i.e. offset and bolt pattern?

Also use this site for tire info

Your requested set up is 31.56. Now the only thing that would not let you do that w/out a lift is the correct offset. Of course you would have to trim.

265 r almost 10" across but if they fit on ur stockers, which r 7" wide(or was it 8) they will fit.

[I_Wanna_Retire]

Yes, the 265/65's are currently on the VX with the stock rims. I really did not have to trim to get them to work but there was so little clearance, I ended up trimming just a little. But now with these new rims, I am assuming I will have to trim some more, but any idea how much? 1", 2"??

[rowhard]

IF the wheel pictured in that link is what your talking about, it sure looks like a very negative offset. Of course you could put almost tire on it if it's the correct dia, but would you have the clearance inside the wheel wells?

Sorry, I see I did not provide enough info for people to help. I looked but could not find a listed offset, so I have sent an email to the company asking for the info.
