Found an interesting fact out about my Dodge rims I have on the front with the large AT goodriches. Granted they did help with the steering but I still have had all the symptoms of rut wander, just not as bad, and after the last 500 mile jaunt last weekend it all makes since after battling 2 hours of it on rutted out I75 in north Florida, I decided to came back the back roads which for the most part are in really flat shape and the drive was totally different. Got home and measured and found there is still 3 inches difference between the inside of the front tires and the rear. 1 inch was gained with these rims and tires, now the outside are an exact match though. My thinking is the inside is much more important than the outside. The Dodge rims and wider tires are what you need for wet grass and sand but I guess I'll be going back to the stock as soon as I can save up for get the spacers or another thought, has anyone ever run Dodge rims with spacers? The rear treads were 6 3/4 wide and the front treads were 8 1/4 wide. I wonder kind of a strain the extra 2" with the dodge rims be on stock bearings.
