LittleBeast,
Y R U picking on me??? After all, NerveGas is running 36x13.50s on his 'beast' (no pun intended - that's what he calls it). BTW, he also uses 1.5 inch spacers to push them out even farther. I guess with a total of 7.5 inches of lift tho, he can pull it off. Unfortunately he doesn't have any pix in his gallery. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person at a meet-n-greet at Lake Anna this summer.
How 'bout coming to Austin on 25 Jun & showing me what a real VX is supposed to look like?

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

Yeah I would like to see some pictures of NerveGas's VX as well. Sorry dude not trying to pick on you at all, I think Kenny said it best though. Your ride looks unique and I can see why you like it. It is really mean looking and great stance, it is just a little too much if I had a choice. I wouldn't want to put that kind of stress on my axles and back door, but you are pulling it off nicely. I would never suggest using spacers to push the wheels out further either but NerveGas's ride looks pretty mean too and he is pulling it off somehow. And as far as "showing you what a real VX is supposed to look like" dude you have a real VX and yours sits a little wider than mine, it doesn't make it more or less of a VX, it is just my opinion that I like a little less tread sticking out from the fender than you have on your VX. I am sure there are some people that think I have too much tread sticking out for their tastes. I get the side of mine dirty a lot quicker now with the wider tires. Each person has their own line as to what is too big or too wide. But thank goodness we all don't like exactly the same things, what a boring world that would be. And I would love to meet you and hang out June 25th, but I am flying out to the Olympic Trials on the 27th so I don't think I could make that.Originally Posted by tom4bren

Hope Y'all don't think that I'm serious about feeling picked on. It's just my warped sense of humor. I rarely take things too seriously.
I know that the "offset from hell" look (quoted from a thread long ago & far away) isn't for everyone. I like so I'm happy.
Personally, I'm not into the Kick Arse sound system so I'd prolly have similar comments to those who are (right Eric?).
I'm not into an electric fan conversion for 0.1% power increase so would have comments about that too (right Zeus?)
If I ever saw a VX that had been slammed & dripping with bling - I'd probably cry.
It's all a matter of opinion. In my opinion I'm right & you're wrong. It's all good.

My wheels will stick out about .25" further on each side than littleBeast... uh oh...
Utah is pretty big on nailing those without proper fender coverage, so I could never pull of the Offset from Hell.
Plus it gives the police a reason to pull you over at any time
Otherwise I think it looks tough.

I was told that here in VA if I put a marker light over each wheel, they'll be completely legal. Didn't want to so I just found a station that would pass it 'as is'. So far my luck has held out (even drove 2.5 hours back from Shenandoah w/o rear tag & didn't get stopped).

In Utah, you have to have fender coverage, AND mudflaps, Which I'm already going to get hassled for (just guessing)
They're pretty strict... atleast they were when I was under 20. Fix it tickets about once a month.
Maybe now that I'm older I won't get hassled.

Not to resurrect this thread, but for future folks searching for wheel information.
Here is what a +10mm wheelset looks like with 33X12.5 Mudd Grapplers
