[QUOTE=mattdillon;322005]. also if you go with a 17" wheel compared to a bigger one like a 20" or bigger, then your rear end gear ratio will be higher or lower depending on how you look at it. /QUOTE]

Your gear ratio doesn't change by changing rim size. The tire height determines a change in gear ratio. I went to 20's but still run 35" tire so it keeps the same gear ratio as oem. If you go to 37's then it changes.

Thanks for the compliment. 18's shouldn't affect the offroad capability at all. Remember you have offset/backspace to take into consideration as well.

What size rims do you have on, I bought my Beast without the Roof Rack but I'm wanting to find a set somewhere but at the same time I'm wanting to get some Bigger Chrome Rims Its not going to be hitting any rocks our back trails, its more of my Lux. ride.

yours looks about like mine, i have about 1" clearance! I Made SURE it would fit when i added the Extra Double Garage! I like those tires but i bet they don't ride very smooth going 80-90mph do they? Thanks!
