Off Roading on 18" wheels??
I finaly found some wheels I would like to get for the Alpha....
Problem is they only come in 18" and I will be taking this Hummer on more than a few off-road adventures, so I hate to go bigger than 17" wheels. Anyone off-road on 18's? I cringe just asking that question! [sm=smiley29.gif]

Larger rims limit the ability to air downfor traction and floatation as well, but I figure you guys know that, cuz that's a big part of selectingoff road wheels. As I understand it, 17" is the acceptable breaking point, but it is your rig and $.

the wheel size won't change your gearing, all that matters is the tire size. i had 18" wheels on the bus when i first got it, but didn't do any real offroading until i got my 17" rims on. i'd say keep on looking.

actually, none of those will change the gearing, but they'll change the ratios that the speedo relies on to maintain accuracy. bigger or smaller tire than stock will throw off the speedo, as well as your mileage computer.
