hahaha, yeah um to see how a negative offset looks on the VX look at tom4bren's gallery. My guess would be that Tom's offset is like -20 or so, no one really knows. Usually I like VX's stance the best with an offset around +15 +10mm offset, but that is just my personal opinion and should be taken just as such. I would definitely not go any smaller than the 285 width though no matter what you do, that would just look weird if you went any more narrow with that much tire sticking out.
