    Oh, and one last item:

    Don't look for your ABS to act correctly. The difference in traction, rolling mass, and diameter will throw that baby right off.

    Those can't be stock tires behind them as they are almost touching the plastic and stockers leave LOTS of air around them... Those have got to be at least 34 inch tires which would make the wheels about 28 at least.... that's the reason everyone thinks they look too big. To be honest every VX I've seen with 20 inch or larger wheels looks ridiculous because the tires are too small. They don't make tires with enough meat on them in those sizes to fill our wheelwells and you end up with a smaller overall diameter than stock, which is NOT what you want! The best looking VX's have 8" wide 17-18 inch wheels with big fat rubber on them. Trucks just don't look right with low profile tires. IMHO
