Increasing My Size!!

Just find a wheel you like with the bolt pattern and bore and buy it. You can make it work.

That's what I'd like to think. But, even though NTB shows several wheels to fit, they called HQ for me last week and were told NO wheels fit the VX from NTB.

NTB referred me to KCTrends -- a leader in custom wheel-fitment for our city. That's ALL they do. They looked up pics of the stock VX/wheel on the net and said only a few wheels (out of thousands they list) would work. And, that it would require a certain brand that sells a cap spacer.

People now-a-days don't know their butt from a hole in the ground! You probably wouldn't be surprised at some of the other web inquiries I've made about wheel-fitment for a VX. If I could see their face while they replied, they are probably running around like chickens with their heads cut-off!

The wheels I'm really leaning toward, have a 110mm center hole -- slightly larger than the 108mm stock wheel. I hope that won't A) cause run-out vibration issues or B) present a problem trying to find a center cap to work -- if the stock cap isn't deep enough. Welding?

LOL

No worries on the vibrating from a large center bore. My wheel centers are much larger than the hubs.. No problems other than being a royal pain to get lug nuts started. But once one is tight. The wheel centers and the rest are easy

Just about all wheels are lug centric nowadays. As long as the center bore clears the hub, the lug nuts will center the wheel and not vibrate.

As far as modifying the hub cap - entirely doable. I had AR rims on my Samurai years ago & didn't like how far out the hub caps came. A buddy of mine cut an inch out and welded them with no ill effects.

Usually that means the VehiCROSS model doesn't show up in their computer, so to save themselves the work of actually doing research, they just discourage you from buying anything altogether. Stupid, but sadly very common it seems.
