15x7 wheels with 30inch tires.....
« on: November 11, 2015, 03:51:46 PM »
I have been running my 30 inch Hercules Trail Diggers on stock wheels for a several months now.  I have been flirting with buying 15x7 wheels since before I bought the tires.  Right now I am 1" spacers behind the stock wheels up front to keep from rubbing the frame when turning.  I am about to finally buy some 15x7 inch wheel with 3.75 backspacing if you can convince me it is necessary.  I am hoping the stability and on road handling will be improved with the wider wheels.

So who has gone from stock wheels to wider wheels and noticed and improvement in handling?

Thanks

Jon

I started with stock wheels and went to steel rock crawler wheels with 30" federal mudders loved them and with a lift body/suspension I noticed a huge difference on and off the road. now running ford aluminum with 30" bfg at, I like them they are quieter but miss the mudders
