    "I have 265/70/17 on 0-offset rims. The stick out a little, but you hardly notice it."

    Thanks for watching my back Kenny

    I'll have to agree that my offset looks a little strange from the rear but all other angles look great IMHO.

    BTW, we are lugcentric. Only use the rings if you purchase aftermarket rims that require them. If you try to use the conical lugnuts with a concentric rim, they'll work against each other & won't seat properly.

    Killer I wanted to here that we are lugcentric...

    Very good... Thanks!!

    And Tom, I like the look of your VX... It looks like an RC car, or some kind of toy which it is.

    It does however look like it'd require a lot of hacking of the cladding.

    Killer Offset....

    Hey, Tom, don't let 'em give you grief over your offset. I think VX's look good with a little tread outside the body. I've only got a 12mm negative offset (minimal cladding trimming), but that puts the Nittos out about an inch wider than the cladding. Plus, you have the added benefit of looking like a comet when you're going down the road in a heavy rain!

    Yup - didn't really notice how much till I parked next to some stockers recently when we got together in Shenandoah. PO did a good job of it but more is needed (get some rub at full lock).

    "Hey, Tom, don't let 'em give you grief over your offset. I think VX's look good with a little tread outside the body."

    I don't take much personally so I just let them have their fun I think there's actually about 4 inches of tread showing on mine.

    "Plus, you have the added benefit of looking like a comet when you're going down the road in a heavy rain!"

    More like a friggin waterfall. Mudbogs are FUUUUNNN!!!
