CrnCnn-- First off, all tires manufactured by Pro-Comp are some of the very best available on the market today. The entire line of Pro-Comp models are a force to be reckoned with.
The major problem you will have is the super wide width of the 315 series. They will rub like crazy due to the very wide "swing arc" of the 315 series. The widest series tire that fits most comfortably on the VX and minimizes rubbing within the tightly cramped front wheel wells is the 285 series width (11.5" wide). When buying any tire for the VX; try not to exceed 285 series width, as you will just be asking for trouble.
Here are my recommendations for the largest available 285 series size tires by wheel diameter for the VX:
16" Wheel (33" O.D.) = 285/75R16 (33x11.50R16) These fit best when mounted on the 1999 Stock OEM 16x7 rims.
17" Wheel (34" O.D.) = 285/75R17 (34x11.50R17)
18" Wheel (35" O.D.) = 285/75R18 (35x11.50R18) These fit best when mounted on the '00/'01 Stock OEM 18x7 rims.
I took a peek at your Photo Gallery, and see you currently run BFG A/T's that appear to still be in very good condition with a lot of tread left. So, I must ask-- Do you really "need" these tires OR are they just more of a "want" at this point??? Plus; at $700 for the set, you are well within only a few hundred bucks more for a brand new set of tires later on when your current BFG A/T's finally wear out (regardless of brand).
Further, I remember you having a desire for the KILBY "belly pan" skid plates. Rumored to be forever discontinued; I've heard from KILBY, that they will offer the skid plates for $650 (Raw Bare Metal) or $700 (Black Powder-Coat), plus P&H to your zip code if you mention you're from the Vehicross.Info forum. Just send an E-Mail to "LORENA" (Kilby secretary) for further details. That's only $100 more than what we got in the Group Buy deal.
What's my best advice regarding the used Pro-Comp's in 315 series??? SAVE YOUR MONEY, as they are just too frickin' wide for the tightly cramped front wheel wells of the VX. Try to limit your next tire purchase to the 285 series as a maximum width. If your current BFG A/T's still have adequate tread left, then perhaps re-think an alternate purchase for your VX to include the possibility of the KILBY "belly pan" skid plates (see the Photo Gallery of "VX-KAT" for awesome KILBY pictures of them installed on a VX).
Whatever your decision, spend your money wisely. I DON'T think the super-wide 315's would be a very wise decision for the VX.Just my 2-cents.
