Negative offset--how much is too much?
I need to get further away from my springs to fit 15.50" wide tyres. Eagle have a wheel with -71 offset (17 x 12 rim). What would be the concerns with such a large offset as per steering, wheel bearings, load on ball joints etc?
Eagle also have -51 offset in 15' diameter wheels, and that would probably do for a 15.50" tyre, but I feel you'd have better bead security on a larger diameter wheel. True/false?
Finally, what are the issues re 12.50" vs 15.50" wide tyres in a Mud Terrain?
