33s M/T - Questions

[RamAirZ]

I was just messing with you on all the "wants". I agree that a 285/75 looks good, but from seeing some 34x10.50's on a 15x6 rim on a VX, I really liked the look, that's why they are on my Passport now, mind you the 235's would be about an inch thinner overall:

One thing you didn't mention about that size, it's load range E, it will ride like a stagecoach too. That size is USUALLY found on dually's hence the reason it's probably only offered in the E-range. Here are some trucks with 235/85's

OMG, that Nissan Xterra looks absolutely hidious with the 235/85's and really illustrates my point about a "stagecoach with wagon-wheels" from the ol' West. The same size tire on a VX with its huge oversize wheel-wells would look even worse!!!

Heck, if I was gonna' lift a VX and wasn't concerned about individual tire weight of 60+ lbs-- my #1 tire size choice would be 285/75R18 (35" O.D.) mounted on the 2000/2001 OEM 18x7 stock rim (tires available from Toyo; Maxxis; G/Y), and become a member of the elite 35" O.D. VX club. Go big, or go home!!!

X2, after running 33s for 2 years I have the itch to get those 35s. I just need a little more lift first.
