I thought the guys at Bobjanes where pulling my leg when he said that the TJ VRX has a differant offset to the base models. He showed me his computer screen and i said "what The ****".. It said VRX had a 6mm narrower offset.

I damaged my lower control and hub assembly arm last year and picked up a new one from a wreckers. i had everyone in the world tell me they are all same so i got and verada one as i had ordered the brand new Mits one and it was gunna take two weeks.. I though they where the same and was kicking myself that i just spent $250 and i didnt need too..

I fitted a set of 20x8.5 inch rims with a 225 tyre on the car to see if they would fit and they did but the one on the drivers side was so close to the guard that i didnt like it.. I just though it was the car as i had bend something underneath.. Yesterday we had my car on the wheel alignment machine and i had a mate do the front and check the rear for me as i wanted to know how bad it was bent.. He said the rear was goodand there was nothing wrong and i was puzzled.. Which made me spend two days thinking about what was going on..

It all makes sense now.. I have a Base model arm on that side which is making it a very tight fit for a 225/35 and a good fit on the passangers side.. Looks like i will be fitting the new arm after all and will try and get 245/35 on there on Wed and hope to god they fit as 225/35 are to small and look **** on a 8.5 inch rim..

225 on a 8.5inch rim is illegal anyhow.. They are meant for 7inch rims dood..

I know.. Try telling allthe wheel shops that.. :D

LOL, well you can get them for negligence if they fit them.

You actually need:
245/35/R20

245 30 20 yer?

245 30 20 yer?

yup......

245 30 20 yer?


Have you priced these.. heaps more expensive than 245/35.. :D

its the 20" that makes it expensive. not the 245/35 or 245/30

Yeah i know but 245/35 are over $100 cheaper then 245/30 :D
I was just baffled that the VRX had a differant Offset.. All Makes sense now..

Did anyone know that as i didnt think anyone did..??

I'm still not clear on what 'offset' you're talking about. Obviously not rim offset (?) - you're saying one control arm is longer etc - isn't that then a matter of more camber?

Offset is the distance between the two hubs which the wheel sits on(Studs).. VRX as a 6mm narrower offset there u can fit a wider wheel.. Base modles are 6 mm wider so the wheels are a tighter Squeeze.. Id Assume Ralliarts and VRX is the Same.. Not sure about sports..

U understand now Larry..?? :D

so what exactly is the different component? The hub? I'm still thinking that VRX are the same as all else but you've got a mutant car...

Its the whole arm thingy that the hub sits on. Dont know tech name but they do have differant part numbers.. :D

Ahh so its the mysterious lower control arm (arrowed X 2 in pic) - there ARE 2 types of those (one with bolts, one with nuts) but as far as I heard before it was a random plot as to which car got what of those.

I dont know what the hell that is Larry.. Is it the front..??


This is what im talking about.. The Nuckle thingo..

That pic is the rear suspension... is that what you've been talking about all along - the REAR of the car?
