    Thanks

    Yeah,I was looking around on Tire Rack's site and it seems that they just list tire/wheel upgrade sizes,that are closest to the vehicles factory diameter. Would the 15mm offset be a problem on a VX? I noticed on here that some members where running 285/60/18's on there VX's.Are those on VX's that are lifted or stock suspended.When I check sizes on a tire calculator it seems that 295/50/20's are extremely close to that diameter.Thanks for your help.

    Just make sure the center bore is large enough for the VX. The VX's is a bit larger than most. Good luck in your hunt for a VX. There are severa for sale here on the board that may be worth taking a look into.

    Ok, well... given the way they look, I'd have to say you're out of luck. Even if the center bore is big enough, I highly doubt the front hubs will fit behind those center caps. A good preliminary check is to see if the wheels fit any 4x4's.

    To be certain they'll fit you should call the manufacturer and get exact measurements on the diameter AND the length of the center bore. You can reference the measurements and diagrams of the VX's front hubs to make it easier on you.

    Here's a thread detailing all the problems I had with some Lexanis that had the proper bolt pattern and center bore diameter: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=5118

    Here's a drawing I made with some dimensions I took of our front hubs:



    Liability disclaimer: I will not accept responsibility for the accuracy of these measurements. You should measure your own hubs to get exact dimensions.

    PS - you could always go for these wheels (what I wound up getting):

    http://www.aewheel.com/wheels_detail.cfm?id=39

    They would look hot in a 20x8.5 chrome - go for the +20 offset and they should sit about flush with the fenders. And they're not so pricey, either!

    I got the 18" polished aluminum witha +2 offset - they stick out a little and have a bulldog stance. A little different look, but they still look great!

    PPS - you should NOT get the 295/50/20 tires. Those have a 31.6" diameter, and would require MAD trimming, and possibly even a lift. You should go instead for a 295/45/20, which would have a 30.5" diameter - slightly bigger than stock, but won't require so much trimming. They would work well with the AE wheels I mentioned above.
