Typically, any 32" O.D. tire is the biggest that can be fitted onto a non-lifted 100% Stock VX. To help minimize any rubbing, it's best to mount the tires only on OEM rims which have the correct offset/backspacing to help keep the tires neatly tucked inside the tightly cramped front wheel-wells of the VX.
For 1999 OEM 16x7 rims; use 285/70R16 (32" O.D.) M/T's from TOYO or NITTO brands (the only two manufacturers that make this unique rare M/T size). Or use 265/75R16 (31.7" O.D.) from any tire manufacturer for a variety of tread patterns (very common size).
For 2000/2001 OEM 18x7 rims; use 275/65R18 (32" O.D.) for maximum ground clearance without lifting. Or use 285/60R18 (31.4") for a wide stout appearance.
Generally speaking, the use of wider aftermarket rims that have non-OEM spec's will cause rubbing issues to appear.
