    Running tires for 8.5" wide wheels on 9" wide wheels (is it safe?)

    I popped on a new set of rims. Now I am discovering that my tires are not rated for 9” rims, says max 8.5”. Is this unsafe or would it just make the tire “bulge” and have a wider stance? Asked the tire shop and all they could say is “it is unsafe, and your tires will ballon” but couldn’t say...

    CAI or factory air box?

    Watched the video. Very interesting stuff, as I live in farm country with A LOT of gravel roads. Guess I know which filter I am using from now on.

    CAI or factory air box?

    Was looking around at mods and stumbled across CAI. Is this a bad idea as I live in blowing snow country in the winter and always seems to be water on the road the rest of the year. So... stick with a factory air box and BETTER filter, or pop for a K&N CAI?

    Lift kit with stock wheels and 32” tire

    All the post say the backspacing is too large and there is a chance of rubbing. Or is that if I go too bigwig has tires on factory rims. Also was looking at pro comp suspension lift 3” With adjustable shocks with reservoirs. Also fuel wheels and 315 wild peak tires, with shaved fenders.

    Lift kit with stock wheels and 32” tire

    I picked out my 3.5” lift kit and am wondering after the install if I can get by for a month or 2 with the factory 17” wheel with 32” tire without any trouble?

    Gear confusion

    I have read every post on gears I can find! I have 16 Wrangler sport with 32” tires and manual transmission. I can’t seem to pull my boat and know I need to regear. Question is with it my daily driver and don’t intend on rock or mudding (much if any) what would be the best ratio? I could see...
