    for fit

    is it the height or thw width that causes the rubbing issues? I got new rims they are 18s but definately are a bit wider so give better purchase and a little lower appearance

    CIRCMAND--- Not to threadjack, but to answer your question. It's the tire "width" that causes rubbing primarily due to the wide swing "turning arc" of the front tires. In fact, it is possible to go taller on O.D. by using skinnier/narrow tires without any rubbing issues.

    For example, the TOYO - Open Country A/T in P255/70R18 (32.1"/41 lbs) is a tall-n-narrow tire and is VX bolt-on perfect without any rubbing issues whatsoever. However; 99.99% of people don't install this tire because it will make the VX look like it's on 'ol west wagon wheels, and won't give the VX that mean/aggressive look.

    I just want to clear this up IT IS BOTH !!! The width and height. It really depends on the tire height and the tire width. Since most people do not go with a narrower tire ,then you need to watch the height of the tire. If you go to tall you will have issues. shawn
