Im running 16.5x14 rims on my 39.5x18 boggers at 12psi in the rear and 25psi in the front and have never popped a bead and Ive been in some pretty rough pits. I need to weld on some bead lock rings but thats mostly due to the rim slipping inside the tire.
I wouldnt think twice about running 14" wide rims with tires in the 17"+ advertised width flavor...especially with a more normal 20+psi in them.
Dillin,
Im at a loss too.

ok well just forget everything i have said no big deal...i was at work this morning. bossman told me he just bought a cut-out laser...hopefully dillin learns how to run this thing to make some wicked sweet parts. I was talking about redoing my radius arm c wedges, because i wasnt dead on. But im scraping the whole entire stock setup and making 100% custom ones if thats what you want to call them.

much better.
make something similar to this:
Axle link / coil mount brackets (2)
use good joints on both ends of that massive 2.5" DOM youve bought along with some decent 1.5 or so DOM with some kevlar heims for a track bar and youre golden.
Infact, I think Cheeto may have a set of these brackets he'd be willing to sell.
