Is it just my mind playing tricks on me?? Put my new soft 8's on today and it seems like i lost an inch or more?? When i got back in the truck i didnt have to hop up as much to get in. I've got the RC 4.5 on it.......

 

did u put smaller tires on the soft 8's?

 

i bet its because the tire is flattened out more bc the wheels are wider but a whole inch seems alot. Like b4 i bet the thread was mostly contacting the center and not so much of the sides and now it is nice and flat surface side to side.

 

Is it possible that a little wider rim expands the width of the tire footprint therefore reducing it's overall height?

 

ya thats why a 31 inch tire looks really weird on a 10 inch rim.

 

Nope still the same 32/11.50's but its a 15x8 maybe the wrangler wheels i had on there before were a lil narrower??

 

This is really weird... If you put up the same size of tires and rims then your won't loose height...

 

If you want to know for sure just measure http://www.mike-g.net/jeep/yinyang/techdex.html
