Their is less surface area and thus more pressure per square foot to get down where the traction is.



Except when the snow is deeper than a foot or more.

PLenty of traction on top of a snow pack. Much less if your bumper, diffs and frame are plowing it.

Sans the occasional Crown King moment, I doubt it'll be in snow very often.

I did find an aftermarket rim with the correct backspacing and everything. Kinda pricey at 170.00 each though.




Meh.

Marchall, I followed John's lead and got a set of custom wheels for MUCH cheaper than that at Rocky Road outfitters. I think that was the name. Any width any offset. Black rockcrawlers and a couple of other styles.

Just takes a month to get them.

U.S. Wheel sells some wheels with lots of backspacing. Mine are close to stock with something like 4.25" backspacing. Check their web site and then order through Summit.

I think I found what I want at Summit, thanks Chuck.

4.75 backspacing, same rim that rocky road has, cheaper without the custom backspacing to 5.5.

Running 12.5's should be about right.




Meh.

Actually, your entire front suspension might come in handy, but I realized today that DL might have some ideas about that...
