Recently my wheels and tires were stolen, so I decided my next set would be 17's. But a friend said that you get less side wall when you air down to rock crawl and other things ( I understand this completely). So how much difference is it other than 2"?

I like to trail ride, rock crawl and play hard as much as the next guy. I usually air down to about 15 lbs when I play. Will the 17's not allow me to do this? Are they more prompt to loosing a bead since I probably wont do bead locks. Oh I do drive this on the street too.

 

Get a set of 15 x 8' s and a quality set of locking lugs. 15x8 accommodates wide range of tires perfect for airing down.

 

What size tires? And be ready be spend almost twice as much on tires
