Thanks for the link. I have been to the 1010tires link. It looks like these will stick out further than stock. The issue I have is I have no idea what stock offset looks like. I have some 17x7.5" GMC wheels with 2.5"spacers so I think my wheels stick out closer to 4" further than stock. Would this set of wheels I am looking at clear 265/70/17's with my 3 " lift. I dont want rubbing issues. Thanks for the continued help.

Have you considered having a machine shop bore the centers for clearance?

The cost isnt worth it nor is it 100% possible. The hub is solid an has no removable cover since GM's dont have locking hubs too often.

Do yourself a favor & get to know the forums search function...find all posts by bimati for further info on your ride. Also search tires & wheels for a real education.

You should be fine with that set up. I have 4.5 backspacing running 265-75-16

Thanks I have. Denver Isuzu replaced both CV's, ball joints, and some other little thing in the front end. I have been serching "tires & wheels" I am just checking to get a 100% good point of view before I plop down 500.00 plus on some new rims. Thanks

Hmmm... I wonder if Bimati (Jeff) sold/traded his VX. He had a 99 silver w/ GMC wheels and spacers... that would explain why we haven't seen him online for a while...

I am certain he traded it in on a Suzuki or something.

[Knigh7s]

yeah Bim's profile states "99 Astral 0210" so that would be his VX.
