I got a set of 44" s for free, one of my customers decided he didn't want to run tall tires anymore. The tires have like 150 miles on them and went through 21 mud pits with 19 wins. It's a pair of 44 19.5 15 boggers and a pair of 44 18.5 15 TSL"s .
I'm going to go with 12" wheels and double bead locks, found some weld on beadlocks on ebay for cheep, So since the tires will be off road only, plus the wheel will end up almost 15" wide.
These tires are just unreal I'm still new to this, still on my first build, I had planned on running 35"s, these are huge.
I have quite a bit of lift on my truck now and still have 6" springs to put in so I should be tall enough, I'm not sure about backspacing though.
I have the wider rear axle, and planned on spacing the front.
What is the difference between the the spacers that you use for the ifs hubs and regular wheel spacers ? beside the price.
I think the IFS hubs keep a better relationship between the stresses on the bearings and the wider stance...if that made any sense. Look at how each option actually works and you'll see what I mean.
