it's nice to have a posse! lol

adsm, you know there's no getting rid of me...

not to mention pushing the center point of your wheel out from the center line of the bearings and steering adds a great amount of stress to the bearings, balljoints, and all other consumable suspension components...

hell, i've got wider tires, with the inner point of the tire being farther in, and the extra 3/4 of an inch they stick out has worn both of my stock hubs out, and needed replacing within 2 years

What he is trying to say is that if you have a rim with more offset than factory (or spacers) the further it sticks out from the factory wheel, the easier it is for bumps/dead animals/ other debris or imperfections in the road to push the wheel or cause the truck to steer unexpectedly. basically a wheel that sticks out further is like adding a cheater bar to your steering knuckle. further it sticks out, the worse it is.

to add a bit of info,,,


considering the steering geometry and stuff like that, look at the front of the truck and visualize the line representing the center line of the tire from top to bottom. take note of where that line hits the ground. now visualize a line going thru the center of the ball joints, thats the steering axis, take note of where it hits the ground. at the ground, for optimal steering stability, the wheel centerline needs to be inside the of the steering axis line. when the wheel centerline is outside of the axis centerline things get worse as the distance increases. various angles and stuff effect it, the amount of verticle angle in each line, and the height of the tires all change the situation.
