    Thanks Guys, And Triathlete your very correct on the center bore. I had Escalade wheels on my fullsize Chevy truck and one day I tried one on the front of the vcross, well you know the rest, it wasn't even close. GM's center bore is very small compared to Isuzu. The reason I'm looking is my 16's" need new tires, so it might be time to update to a diff 18" winter wheel/tire. Some good "new take off's" on ebay. Thx again all ! ! !

    OK FYI...ebay has several sets of Titan/Armada wheels, I found 1 auction with just 1 wheel cheap (if it holds close to that price) . I might get 1 just to try and if it seems to work I'll get a set and have a spare wheel. Any way some spec's are as follows



    Vcross Factory 16"

    *16"x7"
    *Offset-38
    *almost a 4" bore

    Titan/Armada 18"

    *18"x8"
    *offset-25
    *3" bore

    Let me know what you all think..in the mean time I'm watching auctions and will most likely get one cheap to mock up. Thx all

    I think we've got like a 110mm bore, so that's going to be your biggest stumbling block. If you decide to go with anything smaller you need to figure in the cost of a machine shop enlarging the hole. Just a little bit you can do yourself, like the .5mm I mentioned earlier. Beyond that and you're asking for spontaneous wheel failure if the material can be removed at all.

    Try and make conversation with a Titan/Armada owner and ask to trial fit one of their wheels. That's what I did. Just struck up a conversation and offered a guy $5 to let him watch me pull one of his front wheels off and try it on my VX. After it was all said and done he even declined the $5 and I knew that I liked the Frontier wheels better. Got an entire set of 4, brand new, delivered for less than $200 thanks to eBay (note the center sizes):

    Stock VX wheel bore is just shy of 100mm, stock hubs measure just a fraction smaller than that and even putting the stock front wheels back on is difficult sometimes neither is 110 - measured with digital calipers last nite.

    For what's it's worth.

    We do know that the CB for the VX is 108.

    Goggling gets these CB numbers since the Armada & Titan are relatively late model vehicles one would think they would not be suspect but they appear to be small too me.

    I can tell you for sure that the Frontier wheels are TIGHT. A couple passes with the sanding durm on the inside of the center bore and they fit fine, but the inside portion of the rim contacts the upper A-arm and needs to relieved around the perimeter about 2-3mm. Of course, if you're in a hurry the A-arm will do this for you.

    Those look awesome!
    15s eh?
    Those might become my poor man's tuner wheels shortly.
    Thanks for the tip!
