    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.

    Thanks for the info. guys.I checked out Zinik's website and they offer the wheel with two choices of center bore,108 and 78.Of those two I'm not sure which of these are the center bore on the Zinik's that are currently on my Tahoe,which is 4WD.Well,I was hoping I would be able to remove them from my Tahoe and keep them to put on a VX,but I think I'll just sell my Tahoe with the Zinik's as I would feel more comfortable purchasing a set of wheels that will definitely fit a VX.Thanks again for your help.
    Heres the Zinik's on my Tahoe.

    Well it seems from reading that link that was posted,the VX is a 110 bore,so if my wheels are 108 center bore,they are not going to fit.Thanks everyone for your help,I appreciate it.
