Ldub, now that's what I'm talking about!!! Those chromies on his VX look pure bad-@ss. More bling, less blah. Once you go black, you'll wish you went back.
In addition; for a 35" tire in a 285 series width (which will also fit on a 2000/2001 stock OEM 18x7 VX rim), please consider the TOYO - Open Country A/T & M/T and MAXXIS - Big Horn M/T in LT285/75R18 (35x11.50R18). Incidentally, the TOYO - O/C "A/T" is the only "A/T" made in this specific size in the world. That's my technical advice for you-- feel better now, Ldub???
