Kinda doubt you will do much better. They should fit though, but will be damn tall.

They should fit the VHO the same as they would any 4x4 since you have the same suspension setup minus the front diff/transfer case etc. I ran mine on the stock rims for a couple months when I first got them. The VHO/SS might come slightly lower from the factory then a 4x4 but you can just crank the tb's if you need to.
