THEY FIT: AR Chambers w/Teflon

[nfpgasmask]

After many, many, many months of looking at these rims and asking and analyzing and researching if they will fit, I finally bit the bullet and bought a set of 16x8 American Racing Teflon Chambers (0 offset, 4.5 backside). All I can say is, WOW! I am VERY HAPPY. The BFG A/Ts fit nicely also. I opted for the A/Ts over the M/Ts in the long run. I guess practicality is a sign of old age. Plus, they had the A/Ts in stock and not the M/Ts Just so everyone knows, these are LT245 / 70 R16. The tires just BARELY rubbed the cladding up front when I turned, so I trimmed just a little to be safe.

Here are some photos.









Now all I need is clear side-markers....

PS - Now I am 100% debadged externally, I even did away with the American Racing logo on the center caps...

They look great! Don't know why there was any concern that they wouldn't fit.... 16x10"s would be problem BTW.

Hey Tone, thanks! My only concern was over the center bore size. I was actually a little worried about the offset sticking the tires out too much, but it worked out VERY well actually.

Here is another shot from today:

Looks awesome Bart! Now that I see what the Ebony VX looks like de-badged... hmmmmmm.

How about a picture looking down the side with the wheels straight to see how they they protrude? VXCrazy's w/ 31/12.50/16 on 16/8 steel rock crawlers and our 5mos old Chi Sweet Pea.

DO IT!

It was funny, I was at CompUSA last night and I parked under a tree. When I came out it was dark and I could barely see the VX in the shadows. Its TOTALLY stealthy now....just the way I like it. I just need those dang clear side-markers and I am done.

Wow! How did you know CS was my favorite video game??? Actually, its much deeper than that. Aside from my VX, this is my other full time hobby:

GAS MASKS

That should answer your question and then some.
