    very doubtul 33s will fit without trimming lift or not.. your best bet is stock 16" wheels for minimal trimming..

    15" wheels should fit.. there are a few who run 15" wheels.. some say they had to shave down the control arm by like 1 mm.. i have a set of 15" wheels to go on my vx.. havent even test fit them yet though

    good to know...

    are there any threads on how much trimming is required and where? I noticed that a lot of people here seem to be running the 3" lift with 33x12.5" setup but I haven't been able to find much info on how well it all fits.

    32x11.5 R16 would probably be better for gas mileage anyway

    I'd like to get some new chrome lugs for my VX. Some of mine are rusted. Any suggestions? I looked at some on ebay, but don't know if they're reputable.

    All I know about lug nutz is...

    I'd buy used OEM Isuzu lugs before I bought anything aftermarket from ebay...

    Mine were new in 99, & still look good when I scrub my nuts with a stiff brush......

    I've never seen any nuts as good as mine, they've never been garaged, & spend the long cold winters outside in the parking lot.

    I'd like to continue extolling the virtues of oem nuts, but I'm afraid that interlopers from Jeep forums might read this, & eventually start coveting my swell Isuzu nuts...

    OEM...FTW...

    I replaced all of mine a few years ago with McGard lugs from Summit Racing. You can get some that look just like OEM. I don't have the part numbers handy right now, but I can do a search if you're interested.

    edit: The part number is 64012.

    x2, CobraJet; and I concur with the Dubster on not buying poor quality lugnuts from eBay (BTW; I'm glad the Dubster likes his nuts, as I like mine too ). Buy aftermarket lugnuts only from a reputable source like Summit Racing (S.R. only sells top-notch quality products and guarantees what they sell). Summit Racing would be my only source!!!

    X3 what CobraJet said. I bought some black lug nuts from McGuard that looked just like the Isuzu OEM's. Got some wheel keys to match too. High quality, and haven't had a problem with them. You can get them other places than Summit, and usually cheaper. Think I got mine from Amazon.

    Guess I'm getting a few sets from Summit. BTW, the warranty on the McGuard Nuts (summit item# 64012) is:

    McGard warrants its products against manufacturer defects for a period of one year after the date of purchase. Lug nuts carry a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The chrome plating on the lug nuts is warranted for life not to chip, peel, or rust under normal use and care.

    On the long list of things to do, this one is now checked off, I'm sold.

    Thanks ya'll

    I went through the whole wheel,tire, offset thing..... take a look at my thread on that http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=21304 I started it while trying to figure out what would look good. I think my combo came out good, obviously not everyone is going to do 35's though, but theyr'e worth the trouble. My rims are KMC XD Addict 798 18"x9" with an offset of 18, tires are Nitto Trail Grapplers (35"x12.5"). Good luck figuring it out, hope the table on the 1st page of the thread helps.

Thanks a million.
