Okay, First off, you live in Denver, so you can actually pull off a long weekend trip. Driving from Chicago, that could never happen with me. Second,The first year I went, I had a bone stock Ironman that I didn't want to ever hit a trail. That year my first trail ever (I had never, ever, ever been off-roading of any sort) was Elephant Hill, 2nd was Hell's Revenge, third was Fins and Things and I know I did more...but those are the three I remember. Almost every obstacle has a bypass and no one is out there to wreck there VX. It is most of our daily driver's and our ride home...

Petos went to Moab in low profile street tires and 20" bling rims! I think you'll be fine.

Even if you just hang out at the stoop and check out the scenery it is worth going. If I were you I wouldn't miss it. When I moved from the West Coast to Chicago I made it a point to stop through Moab. It's that cool!
