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.
Super VXer
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.

I'm hoping to use a SLIGHTLY larger tire...a 275/70/16 Yokohama. They may stick out a little, but hopefully not too much. Tickets suck.
As far as trimming the cladding, I'm going to try a slight lift first (OME 912 springs) and THEN see how much will have to be trimmed.

heh, years later, i finally get around to biting the bullet. And have found that the chambers have become an extinct, some say mythical animal.
My hopes were lifted when I found a cool looking teflon predator:

ONly to be dashed when I found out they only have them in the GM sizing for our offset/backspace/lug pattern.
I settled for the Victors. I hope they get to the house in a couple days. I'm still in Iraq. Impulse internet buying waiting for your flight is terrible. I want them to get into TX beforre my flight out to CA to see my parents. I'll only be stateside for a couple weeks... fingers crossed everything (fits!) and arrives shortly.
