    I guess it's not a good idea though !

    I'm playing with two wheel sizes the 20x9 or 18.8.5 all around,but i don't want go lifted if the 20x9 is the choosen size.

    American racing have two nice models;The Jr cannon in silver & black & the assault also in silver & black which blend perfectly with my VX.

    But yet still is somehow hard to me to believe that adding 20 x 10" at rear & 20 x 8,5 or 9 " at the front can deffinetly make the TOD freak because of the dragging,the sizes difference aren't so huge + the weight can't be more then 1 pound.

    However i'll research for more info about this,make few calls here n' there for expertise opinion. Thank you guys !
    Dakar was just the begining.

    The problem you also might have is getting even wear when you rotate the tires. Obviously rears will have to stay rears and fronts will have to stay fronts, so you may wear tires out slightly faster.

    Why is that hard to believe, when a 3-4 psi difference in inflation pressure in tires of the same size will cause the TOD to malfunction?

    The tires are Pirelly Scorpion ATR 275/55R20 ( $ 125 each )

    The rims are the mamba M2 20x9" with 0 off set. ( $ 189 each )

    Owner update April 2016


    ============================================


    Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Owner David Lovatt, aka Monstertrucker since 14th May 2011.
    Previous owner was Paul Hayashi in Luton, Hertfordshire, (presumably after the one/s who took this pic as it looked newer here than when I bought it minus the wing mirror and with worn out side decals from too much polishing. Link me to new ones please?).
    Rims are Enkei Super Violence split anodised in red. Unsure of spec's but will try to update.
    Tires are now Cooper Discoverer H/T but not in this photo I don't think. Spec's as above.
    Stock height
