Hey, I would be careful with what you are about to purchase.

1) AR has two different hub styles. Look at this site:

You need to make SURE you do not get the ones made for "GM Trucks". The center bore is too small. I think you want the 9583s.

2) I really think you should think about that offset. I am running the 16" ARs with a 0 offset and the tires just stick out a little and they look perfect, imho. Hopefully someone else will chime in, but it is my understanding that if you get something with a -19 offset, your wheels are gonna stick WAY out. Now, if that is the look you are going for, then ok, but do think about it.

On American Racing’s site, they have 2 part numbers listed with the same offset and backspacing (3985-89538 + 3985-89583). The offset is -19 and the backside is 4.5. I have a call into AM to see what the difference is—I’m guessing it might be the center bore dimensions. The BFG’s will have an overall diameter of 32.7 and a width of 11.5. My question is with this offset and backspace, will the rims be recessed behind the fender or protrude out? I see that another VX member has the AM Victor wheels, so I’m sure these rims will fit, but I was unable to get any specs from her. My VX is not lifted and I’m aware that the cladding will need trimmed…THX for any help!
