: The effect You describe is correct if You don't push mor air in to the tires.
: If You increase the preasure in the tire the patch area (contact area of tire to ground) will decrease and You will get the same pounds/sq. inch.
: On wider tires You often use more preasure.

: Spacers:
: The AEZ Paron rimes that I'm using have a offset of 15 mm compared to the original that have 19 mm.
: To make the center of tire to be on the same position on the car I have to move the offset by 4 mm.
: I also have a wider tire then original 245 insted of 235 which forces me to move the rim aditionaly 5 mm out ((245-235)/2) this gives me an required spacer offset of 9 mm, and the closet one is 10 mm.
