Hello all,
I been reading everyones mods and noticed that nearly everyone who runs a big tire (31-33)runs a "narrow" rim with it(7-8") why? The reason that this seems odd to me is because before I purchased my money pit, I mean xj, I ran my toyota with 33's and 10" rims. And everyone that I know prefered this combination because of the wider footprint, not to mention the fact that it is a hell of a lot easier to mount the sensor from the alignment rack on a wheel that isn't submerged in rubber, and the fact that I could run a lower psi with this set-up on the trail. Is there a mechanical reason why the narrow rim is necessary or is it just preference? Please enlighten this young XJ Rookie.
