Leave the large 12.50" width to the larger full size 4x4 pick-up trucks, for which they were designed.

    Consequently, go with a LT285/75R18 (aka 35" x 11.50R18). If you want an "A/T" tread, you're choice is simple. If you want an "M/T" tread, you've a few picks.
    You do it your way, I'll do it mine...

    I've already got a few years of "happy motoring" under my belt running 33 x 12.50 x 20"...

    Understood...but you always post as if your opinion is the absolute, bottom line, only way to go...you can usually count on me for a differing viewpoint...

    That's OK, Ldub. When offering my advice/opinion, I always back it up with sound logical reasoning or I don't make a post. What people do with that advice/opinion is entirely up to them; and I don't force my advice/opinion on anyone, but do offer it when asked. Thank you for asking and I'm glad I could be of assistance.

    What you tend to overlook is, it's sound logical advice for YOUR application, & YOUR preferences.

    I don't particularly like chrome, OR changing flats on the trail, as I don't have an inflatable mattress with me...

    Oops...almost forgot my manners...You're Welcome!...

    Ah; Ldub, you are incorrect again as usual (with your sign-off trademark as it truly fits you). I take great pride in my analysis of each and every thread I respond to and always justify my response. My replies are never for my own application, but rather tailored to the individual making the inquiry and to his/her specific application.

    It appears you initiated this thread for pure self gratification in that you had already decided on your new wheel/tire set-up and just wanted others to pat you on the back in order to make you feel good which is very selfish and inconsiderate of you. However; when you asked "What do you think of these.....", and someone disagrees with your specific point of view, then you get your panties all up in a bind like a wedgy. If you don't want our honest opinion; then please don't ask for it, as you waste everyone's time and effort on this forum.

    I like em!

    Straight chrome

    BLACK & chrome

    I am very happy with the rims I put on my VX, and I think those would look cool on yours. More black than chrome. Cool!

    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.
