Re:Got 2" Leveling Kit
[quote author=BadAss_2002 link=board=17;threadid=7128;start=30#78636 date=1039565741]<br>Do you think it would be possible to run a wider tire like a 35x14.50 if the tire co's start making them to fit 17" rims with just the leveling kit?<br>[/quote]<br><br>That's pushing it a bit too much for me. For one thing, the minimum rim width for a 14.50 is 10 inches. Putting a 14.50 tire on a 17-inch rim would create a significant side bulge and unhealthy tread wear.<br><br>And, I have no doubt such tires would fit the rear, but the front tires would be too close to chassis components and the rear leading edge of the front wheel well for my comfort.<br><br>I'm not saying it can't be done - and I'm sure someone will do it (if it's you, let us know the results, eh?). I'm just saying I would not feel comfortable doing it as it would put me into that "gray area" of the safety zone.<br><br>Best to y'all<br>Bill
