    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

    Your photo is helpful. Maybe we could develop a picture catalog of wheel offsets/tire so other's can see what their beloved VX would look like with these different combinations.

    Here is mine. +18mm offset with 285/60/18 Toyo AT

    Very good idea... and your picture is almost identical to how mine was shot. Maybe we should start a wheel offset thread wiki. Where People only post images like the ones we just posted.

    Only give wheel specs:

    Offset
    Backspacing
    Width

    Tire specs:

    Brand/model
    Size: width height.

    Very good idea. Your photo showed the offset well, so stepped outside, shot it, downloaded it, and uploaded in about 5 minutes to show what mine looked like.

    Great idea guys! This would've helped me a ton!



    Wheel Specs: Zinik Z26 chrome with black insert
    Offset: +15
    Back Spacing: 135mm (5.3")
    Wheel Size: 20" x 8.5"

    Tire Specs: Nitto Mudd Grapplers
    Exact Size: 32.95 x 12.80 / 20
    Approx Conversion: 33 x 12.5 / 20 = 318/52/20

    Helpful tool to visualize: http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/info_specs.jsp

    Of course we all know we have 6 x 139.7mm(5.5") lugs and 100mm center bore.
