    You did get me on the hundreths!

    Those figures were rounded numbers but if you didnt see the full digits you would not know better, so I don't blame you. I thought you rounded yourself and wondered why since they are so close.

    I would not go anywhere lower than 50 series or you are getting into rubberband thickness tire territory that does not look all that good on a VX.

    I am pretty sure the offset and backspacing of these are the same as my ProComps. Nothing to be afraid of. I am glad someone is taking advantage of the link of tirerack's sales that I posted a month back. You can online check if they have a full set avail. It says it under the description.

    Ditto. In fact, going to a much lower offset actually gives you the advantage of a wider stance/track without having to add wider and therefore heavier tires. If you're going for sporty performance/handling, that's a good duo.

    Y'all need to quit playin wit dis boyz head.

    Dude, Go-fer-broke. 3" lift, offset from hell & 33x12.50. Then just trim the cladding as needed.

    Just kidding (kinda). The look isn't for everyone but it does get lots of attention wherever I go.

    If you do lift & decide later that the CV angle needs some relief, let me know. I can get the diff brackets modified to put the angles back to 'near stock'.
