Dude, those would have to be hard on your wheel bearings. If I were you I would be seriously thinking about a dynatrac or spintech wheel bearing conversion...
Offset is everything! That wheel/tire combo might even stick out past your cut out flares.
In Alabama the tire cover doesn't matter and lift height doesn't really matter. The fact that the tires would stick out past the cut outs is what I want and like. My cut outs where delivered today. Can't wait to get them on. 20x14 and wheel bearing are the major concern. I don't want something I can't drive without constantly working on it.
I do not care if your tires stick out past your flares. Point is the farther they are out past your flares the larger the eccentricity on your wheel bearings, hence premature failure.
Right. Thank you Layson. Those are things I'm tring to consider. I have 16.5x12 rims in my shop I might use those. But if I have to use wheel spacers Im just about in the same boat again.
You ought to spend the coin and pick up the dynatrac pro steer ball joints too. They are expensive at 600 bucks but they are built for running big tires. You can rebuild them and you can do it without using a press to remove them.
How will the dynatrac or spintech wheel bearing kit help? Haven't really researched those kits yet.
Instead of burning through wheel bearings at 200+ each you can rebuild them for much cheaper and/or maintain them so they last longer. I have the spyntec conversion, same kind of deal as dynatrac. That isn't my truck below, but you get the idea of what they are built for.
I have the crossover steering kit in my shop but haven't installed it. Was planning to go to 12.5" then install it but I'm stayin at 10". Trucks steers great no problem in that area. To be honest it's not an Offroad rig. I have a 1985 Toyota 4x4 with 10" lift and 39.5" tsl's I use to bash in the woods. The dynatrac kit looks the same as the Toyota wheel bearing setup.
Yeah you won't believe how much better it wills steer with that setup. You really ought to try it. My 12.5" with 40's steers better then when I had my 6" and 37's...
I have crossover steering and long travel suspension from trail-gear on my Toyota. It steers like a Cadillac. One finger with 39.5's. I know what u mean.
