In Reply to: Question about Ride Height, Wheel Upsizing posted by JD617 on March 11, 2001 at 23:14:04:


Hello!

I was wondering if and more importantly WHY is overall ride height and/or wheel/fender gap INCREASED when a person +plus sizes their wheels and tires? Assuming I am intelligent enough to pick the right sizes for the upgrade and maintain the same overall wheel diameter (give or take less than a 1/8 inch) then why would the unsightly "truck look" be created?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

JD617
