THEY FIT: AR Chambers w/Teflon

[CrnCnn]

I found this pic in the gallery, I dont really care for the black rims...

Yup, I agree. The problem with most black rims is the glossy finish. And in the case of the generic steel rims, not only are they glossy, but they are generic looking too. They look like spare tire rims to me. Thats why the Teflon Chambers and Mojaves are so bad@55. They are flat, and more of a very dark gray than a black, which makes them match the cladding really well. These are the rims I would love to see on a Prot:



These have the same finish as my Chambers...

I had to crank the t-bars a bit but I just fitted 265/75-16 with the a 4.5 offset rim....

Ill get pictures up this weekend. I am also lifting it saturday myself.

wow, these chambers are exactly what I've been looking for...without even knowing it! I've been pretty close to getting those rock crawler looking ones. But now that you mentioned it, they DO look like spare wheels.

Question: do you know if any store offers AR Chambers locally? I (and the VX) am currently away from a permanent address and will be for a while. It would be neat if I could just pick'em out and get'em installed at some big tire chain store.

offset/backspace are diff than stock. Did you find the trimming necessary? I don't have a clue about non-stock wheels...

I'm assuming everything will be the same. I've got a 99 VX...running A/T 245/70/16...new tires I just bought a about 4 months ago. I wish you had bought your chambers then, and posted about it, while I was still at a perm address and had the time/cash allocated!

Cadet.......I have seen in local BIG-O tires they have the Chambers in stock.

I live in Southern, Indiana and I am sure this is the same for the KY stores.

Yup, Big-O out here carries them. But I have to say, you should order them from an online shop, cause you will probably save quite a bit of money. These retail for like $220 a pop, but online you should be able to get them for around $175 each. I paid about $192 each, including shipping.

From the research I did, the only ones that will fit the VX properly are the
AR3985-6883s. These have a 0 offset with 4.5 back spacing and look verrrrry nice indeed. I don't think any of the 17s or 18s will work.

I would call this place and see if they have them in stock. They didn't when I was ready to buy mine, but this place offers free shipping.

Hi, the largest tires you can use is the 255/70 R16 with a 0 offset rim. They pop out a bit more. I am currently using them. They are Yokohama. My original BFG 265/70 R16 AT had to be traded with my other truck, sadly they rubbed on the Vx. I'm waiting for them to wear out a bit then try them again
