    285/75x16" (almost 33" in diameter/9" tread) is about the biggest you should go on the stock rim...you could go bigger, but the rim width should be wider.

    You'll also need some lift & a bit of trimming to fit @ that size.

    whats the biggest i can fit WITHOUT triming or lifting??

    I had 265/70x16" before, & had to trim just a bit from the front inside corner of the cladding. Make friends with the forums search function found in the left sidebar of the home page. Try "trim cladding" & you'll see what I mean.

    There's a couple of guys with the same or similar rack and they do indeed look good. Not many VXes in NZ or AU - I've got a few AU magazine articles posted here:

    My favorite is that last one listed Wheels 2-98: "A Lemon in Orange" - funny stuff there.
