"normal" tire sizes

[Ldub]

The stock tire size for 00's & 01's was 245/60x18", on 99's they were 245/70x16"...this info is on the drivers side door jamb sticker.

Joe, understand your concern about trimming any cladding, I felt the same way. But, on the orginal wheel, I went with a 285/60/18 and only had to trim the front edge of the cladding and you can't even tell, and damn does it look good with the 285's. The Toyo AT is a quiet tire, aggressive looking and gives the VX the look it deserves. And if you cranked the bars up to level the VX out, you might not even have to trim at all, or very little.

agreed. the smaller tires are harder to find (and in most cases I find they're spendy too).

I know Moncha runs 255/55/18's and didn't have to do any cladding surgery. I see a lot of those sizes out there (nitto terra grapplers make that size!)

Mine had P255/55R18's (by Kumho) and they seem pretty decent and fairly inexpensive. I went up a notch this past winter to Bridgstone Blizzaks 265/60R18's and like the looks and ride. More rubber seems to soften the bumps. I think my next set will also be 265/60R18's also.

I was running some Yokohama 285/60/18 with stock shocks and NOtrimming to the cladding was needed.

I've always heard that with the Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/60/18 you had to trim just a bit of the cladding. This week I had to buy new tires, and I bought the Nittos, and I DID NOT have to trim the cladding at all.

I put on some OME 912s springs before I went with the Nittos maybe that's why I did not have to do any trimming.

I would recommend either tire.

Peace.

Tom, did you have the torsion bars cranked? When I installed the 285/60's on the OEM wheel, I had interference with the front cladding. The torsion bars had not been cranked,... yet - John
