|
|
Hey guys can u tell me what kind of rail frame mine is?
And next how big of tires will fit on it? Like can I put some on the size of the ones with the 3 rails? it has an 1835 motor and right now it has 30x9.5x15 cooper discover mud and snows id like to put some wider ones on it and maybe go down an 1nch or two on on the heighth? I would like to put something with a low profile cuz majority of the time its on the road and if I go offroading I will swap them out and put the old ones on. But how wide do u guys recommend going
will tires this size fit? what size are they roughly?

| Yes you can go wider. Just buy the correct offset/size wheels. Be aware that the further out from the mounting surface the more side load your outer bearing may see. |
