Before I decided on keeping the 18's, I was looking at these... not sure if they come in the right fitment but the price is right and they'd look good in my humble opinion

OMG, they look totally amazing!!! They look almost like the "one of a kind" ISUZU factory snowflake rims...I think my head is going to explode...
That said; they are in a class by themselves in the 16 x 8" size, of which no other brand wheel can match, period.
The reason they fit so perfectly, with several rubbing issues, is purely because you used a non-stock, aftermarket, 16 x 8" wheel. That is truly the "secret". The use of aftermarket wheels will somewhat increase the threat of rubbing issues, which can easily be cured.
When I was shopping for wheels these were in my top two choices I lost countless hours of sleep in trying to come to a final decision, but these wheels are simply incredible.
In the end, I finally selected the Nitto Mud Grapplers & as much lift as I thought the CV's could handle, cause I wanted it to look badA$s...like it might go out at night by itself & eat the tires off Camaros...![]()
Like you, the tire technician's asked me over-n-over for permission to mount the tires, so I said: "hey whatever makes you happy."
Well; to their amazement, they fit bolt-on perfect using the aftermarket Centerline 20 x 8" wheels with OME 919's & 1" spacers, with about 14 cranks on the T-bars.
It didn't EVEN clear the famous "bolt" in the back of the front wheel-well, so I did a bit of cutting, & massaged it gently with the two pounder...![]()
Only very major trimming on the front cladding portion was all that was required, and they totally "fill-up" the huge fenderwell gaps with pure tire...did I mention...THEY LOOK MEAN AZ HELL?...
However, I realize that this is only MY taste in wheels & tires, & would not believe for a minute, that anyone thinks that I truly have set the standard for the rest of youse to emulate...![]()
I am confident there will be many, many VX'ers out there following my lead,(or NOT) for those searching for a 33/12.50x20" tire.
Again, the Nitto Mud Grappler in 33/12.50x20" is the pinnacle of OFFROAD tires in that specific size catagory, with absolutely no competitor matching its specifications data....
I HAVE SPOKEN!......
