Quote: Pretty common practice with the true 10.5 and 8.5 stuff to run a wheel widerthan the tire tread width. I have NEVER seen it as an issue. Our tires are always installed BY the manufacter at the track. In fact M/T suggests a larger size wheel to increase the footprint. Some folks just dont get it.
X2....
and your definition of larger size is....... and is it outside the tire manufacturers suggested ( ???? ) minimum / maximum rim width for that tire??? Ya, I don't get it, but I'm open for a valid explaination on just how a wider rim increases a tire foot print. Guess I'm just missing - something .
