Thanks. No, actually the booklet they sent me said that Kedge grip actually speeds up the wear on the tires, but increases traction.

Tires are generally measured in section width, IIRC.
Thanks.

Alright why can't I find 16x8 steelies in a 5 on 4.5 for less than 92 bucks a piece?

Also would 4.5" backspacing be too much for a 12.50? I think my current wheels are 3.75" BS with 10.50s and it rubs the lca.

I'd say 4.5" is too much yeah...

As I understand it 17" rim is more popular than 16" these days, may have better luck

I'm doing 35x11 and looking for 3-3.5 BS. Look at different wheel manufacturers; not just one or two major sites. I've spent hours searching for what I want at work, but I don't have any links handy on my phone.

Does it make sense that front shocks come with installation hardware, but rear shocks do not? OR did they screw up the packaging?

Unless there is no bushings or sleeves then I think its normal.

Maybe my googlefu is weak. If you could get a link when you can that'd be awesome.

I didn't even see a 16x8 in 5on4.5 on their site.

Summit had some US Wheel 16x8s with 3.75" BS a couple weeks ago for $52, but I didn't see the the other day...or any more at that price, actually. Whatever, maybe I'll get 17s. Big ballin' in the Comanche.
