    I really wanted to get some nice mud tires of knobby things that just looked sweet and perform very well off road. Having only owned 4wd vehicles, most of which have had mud tires, the vx is the first that I've put AT's on. I shopped around online and managed to get 265/75r16 Nitto Terra Grapplers and 4 Hummer H3 wheels all for under 800 bucks which is good cuz all the local tire places wanted at least that much just for tires. I really like these tires and they seem to be pretty inexpensive compared to other brands like bfg. I have yet to really try them out in much more than some snowy mud but they performed very well. And they're quiet and will probably last me quite awhile even with off-roading. I found all my stuff on ebay, i'd suggest checking it out.

    A lot of what will fit, will depend on the backspacing of the wheel you choose.
    Mine are 5" backspacong on a 20" x 8" wheel...which allowed the fitment of 33"x12.50"x20" tires. Also OME 919's & a 1" poly spacer (I carry a lot of weight), T-bar crankage, a good bit of trimming & not so gentle massage with a 2 lb. hammer were also involved.
