    I am going to have to agree here 100%, please do not use wheel spacers, we want as many VX's out there on the road as possible, this is an unnecessary risk, it is not safe for you or the VX's various components.

    But feel free to change rims, if you don't want to lift or put larger tires on look at Wormgod he has a pretty slick VX with nice offset, rims, and tires.

    Thanks all.

    So advice is not to use spacers or adaptors

    It seems the stock 7" rims are too thin for 11.5" tyres, but ok for my choice of 265/75 16's.

    Has anyone got 265/75's on the stock rims that can show me a profile picture so I can see what they look like or measure how far they sit inside the wheelarches?
