I found a good deal on Goodyear wrangler TD 265/75/16 for $481.00 to my door. I found a nice set of 18" stock wheels with stock tires, but would need to change them for driving in the snow, so I thought it might make more sense to just replace the 16" tires.Thanks for any input, I'm new to this board and this is my first VX and very excited to do a few mods to it. 99VC
Most folks around here would tell you to make friends with the search function to answer questions that have been answered many times in the past...

But not me, I'm a helluvaniceguy...

265/75/16" will rub the front cladding, but nobody that's ever trimmed the offending chunk of plastic has EVER expressed any remorse over the operation.

What you end up taking off is this much:



Nobody but another VX owner would ever notice, I promise.
Not to mention, your VX will look SO much more meaner with some fleshed out skinz under it!...
