    You sir, are a disappointment to me...I fully expected a sermon on the evils of heavy wheels, tires & unsprung weight. With a sub sermon on acceleration & braking distance...sheesh, ya think you know someone...

    The wheel in the pic is an 8 holer, so the C-cap prolly isn't that big, but yeah spikes would be good...

    Well, to tell the truth, I'm trying to strike a balance...

    I have 33's on my stock 16's, & there is too much sidewall for spirited street cornering.
    I have 33's on my 20's, & they corner great, even with knobbies, but don't have enough sidewall for aggressive offroading.
    Soooo, 35's on 18's seems good middle of the road choice to me...that & I'm tired of maintaining polished aluminium, & I'm not a fan of too much bling, or the associated pitting & bubbling that evenyually comes with it.
    Also, bad trail dings could be touched up with a bit of bondo, some sanding, & bed liner...

    Boss man's pickin up what I'm puttin down......

    Besides, It's still in the "thinkin' about it stage"...keep the opinions coming...

    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
