I would love to have my tires stick out a lil farther too but I'm afraid to put spacers on, don't want to wear out my wheel bearings, and my ball joints, and basically my entire suspension system.

ive always heard its hard on ur front end. just basically cause ur not tighting ur wheel down all the way theres a spacer there and it puts NOT ALOT. but puts some strain on ur lugs and what ever else.. ive seen/heard of guys breakin their wheel off the lugs because of them

I thought you could run a different off set rim and avoid most of those problems

Yeah i run 32x10.50s and i love the way it sits. Just enough to get it dirty but not too much to look stupid.
