Suburban rebuild questions

so why wouldnt you want a wider rim for off roading? just wondering out of curiosity, like what not a 10 inch rim to pull those sidewalls a little more for a wider track and bigger footprint?

Yeah I'm a little too far. Right outside Nashville, TN

Shipping would ruin a good deal on those big parts.

wider foot print should be created by airing down... the wider the rim the more the bead of the tire tries to pull away from the rim bead, what ppl do in hawaii is an extreme case of this but this picture should show you what im talking about

Okay guys. I'm about to order the wheels for the swampers. I just wanna confirm that 38x16.50's will fit on 16.5x9.75 wheels and that ya'll think they will fit on the truck

 

[Cajun4x4]

Okay. Current status: Just ordered wheels, Going to get tires sometime this week(maybe tomorrow), and rear end swap hopefully starts tomorrow. He said he thinks he can make the T case work

Went and got tires last night from a guy in a monsterous Dodge 2500 cummins single cab short bed on 44's, and wheels came in at 10 this morning. Only took a day to ship

Well the axle he found turned out to have 3.42's instead of 3.73's. So he's still lookin for a rear end. But as soon as I get it back from him and throw the swampers on I'll post pics
