Hello everyone, I’m new to the forums and I am in need of some advice - well more clarification than advice really …
I have an 87’ FJ60 on stock suspension rolling on 235/75r15 mounted on stock chrome wheels which are 15x6
I’m planning on installing the OME 2” lift kit and getting some 33x9.50-17 tires mounted on some 17x9 wheels
I’ve been looking online and everyone runs a wider tire on a narrower wheel and I was wondering why that is …
to me, the 9.5” tire on a 9” wheel makes perfect sense since the sidewalls aren’t stretched out but I’ve been thinking that the stretched sidewalls helps in off-roading situations where the tires are deflated
so before I pull the trigger and buy the 9” wheels can someone please explain the benefits of running a narrower wheel with a wider tire
Thanks
