Depends on where you are. If you have a cold winter, thicker oil is better for the winter. Here in south Florida, I run 10-30 all year

Thicker is better for winte? You mean thinner?

10/40 is the tickest i'd run. But, here in summer it has hit 110* and even 116*

Thinner for colder, thicker for hotter.

Would these be too much stress on the axles if i ran these just dd? I dont see off road to much lately and want to push my stocks out much furher.

Also would them not being hub centric be an issue or no if im careful when i tigten the rims down?

Don't go cheap on spacers. Spydertrax or bust.

SeriousOffroad has D-windows for $50ea, and SummitRacing.com has dozens of wheels for under $75ea.

But 12.5" wide tires should be on an 8-10" wheel anyway.

They're cheap with no verification of quality. But to be fair, I won't buy spacers, period. It adds another possible failure point, and it's one more thing for me to remember to check when doing maintenance.
