I am currently looking at getting new tires for Adry, and I was lookin' at getting black 15x8 rockcrawler rims with a 3.75" BS (which would also look mean as hell, but thats another issue ). But my question is, will I be able to notice the increase in stability?
I currently have the stock 16" tear drop rims and i've measured them to have a 4.25 BS (by means of a strip of metal and then measuring down to where the wheel meets the hub).
I guess I'm wondering is it worth it to get new (heavy steel) rims just to increase my track width by 0.5" per side (1" overall). I planned on going with a 3" BL to clear 32x11.50x15 on a 15x8 with the afformentioned 3.75 BS (which all that lift really isn't needed, but more lift never hurts), but am now reconsidering after calling around to local tire shops.
This truck is my DD so onroad stability is still a concern and rock crawling ability definately rides backseat to safety.
(I will also be upgrading the anti-sway bar bushings to a Energy Suspension polyurethane kit to help control body roll)
Anyway, those out there that have gone to a 3.75 BS, please chime in if you have noticed more stability in corners, less sway on on-ramps, etc.
Thanks y'all!
