Wheel Spec Info, Hard to find a one stop shop.

LittleBeast, a couple questions if you don't mind...

1. do you think you would have room for MORE backspacing or a higher offset on your setup without rubbing?

2. how wide are your wheels?

3. how much lift are you running

4. did you trim your fenders and if so, do you have close up pics of where you trimmed them? .

The 10th photo on that post shows you what is involved on the inside of the front wheels wells. That is the only major trimming you have to do and it is not that bad and not noticable at all unless you are really looking for it and stick your head into the wheel wells. On the front of the front cladding you have to do very small trimming as well, not that hard and definitely not that noticable. I think I have pics of almost everything you need to visualize in my gallery if not let me know and I can take some more.

1. yes
2. Wheels are 20x8.5 but the tires are 32.95" x 12.8": http://www.nittotire.com/#index%2Eti...appler%2Esizes
3. 3" OME912 springs + torsion crank
4. Pic as I was in the middle of trimming inner fender of front passenger side wheel well:

Pic of removed materials:

After trimming was done:

I have some more pics of the trimming of the front at home if that would help.

thanks for the great replies

LB, I think I see what you did now. you trimmed the cladding along the bottom...

on the right-ish side I see a vertical metal piece with what looks like 3 tabs, is that what you hammer down?

I'm assuming this is the side of the wheel well near the doors... do you need to modify the front side of the wheel well too, or just the door side?

on last semi-off topic question, how badly do the 33"s hit your gas mileage over stock?

thanks again for all of this

Mine was trimmed on the front side of the wheel wells. That's the easy trim since there's no bracket to get in your way. You should be able to mark the cladding with a grease pencil to guide you in how much will have to be cut off or better yet, take a picture of your wheel well & practice on that. There are some wheel well pix in my gallery that I took for someone a while back (they didn't come out very good though).

Can't say how my gas mileage was effected since it was done by the PO.

I had to trim a bunch on the front of mine as well... But like LB said, no one notices unless they're an owner of these vehicles, and they look for it. It'll be even less noticeable after I get Bedliner sprayed on all my cladding.

etlsport strikes again with an unheard of number of random photos!

heres a comparison of cobrajet's VX and tom4bren's VX nose to nose notice how tom's wheel well continues down at an angle while cobra's rounds down to be even with the other side



(i just cut out the middle of the photo.. the height difference is actual.. and just for fun in the background you can see cstylesVX and my VX height side by side)

BTW, mine is a 3" lift and I think Andres' is too. Good photo to guestimate the hood height difference with/without lift. I wish now that we had taken one similar with the arse ends. If we get together at Lake Anna next month we'll have to try.
