So I ordered a set of 4 AR Chambers with Teflon. Should have them in about a week or so. I ordered the 16x8s with 0 offset and 4.5 on the backside. Numerous "professional" sources have verified that these will fit the VX, but I am still a little nervous 0_o. I know with the offset the truck will have a wider stance, similar to WormGod's truck I am thinking, but with 16s instead of 18s. I will be putting a set of BFG Mud Terrains on. Hopefully I can fit some that will not require excessive trimming as I do not have a lift. I will keep you all posted and upload photos as soon as I am suited up with the new rubber.

Now, on to my questions:

As I understand it, these AR rims are pretty light. And I am thinking of getting one of these Rock Crawlers in the same pattern to use as a spare.

(Pro Comp Wheels Series 51 Rockcrawler 16X8 6-5.5 BS4.5
Part #:51-6884)

My question is, if I get a Rock Crawler Steel wheel as a spare, and put the same size tire on it, would the weight difference severely affect the TOD if I need to ride with the spare on? Being that is is just a spare, should I even worry about it? I mean, the Rock Crawler wheel would make a nice cheap spare, and even if the TOD is affected it will only be temporary.

Anyone have any other suggestions for a spare? I am NOT buying another $200 AR Chamber to use as a spare as I am strapped enough as it is after buying 4. So what have some of you done in similar situations?

Thanks - Bart
