I ask cause generally IMHO wider is better offraod....and the engineers often don't like them being narrowed for onroad use....so I'm not sure what the benefit of narrowing them would be.....
The cj that I am building I want to be a old school setup, and it still needs to be able to drive on the road. I want to keep it leaf sprung so the pumkin in the front is to close to where the spring mount would need to go. I want to cutdown the long side about 4inchs to bring the pumpkin accross a bit.That will still be a little bigger than a tj trac (alot better than the skinny trac i had). Also the back 9in the pinion is offset about 4inchs to one side(not that that matters) but cutting it on one side would put it in the center. I will run + offset on the road rims to get it as close under the flairs as possible and off road I will run 15x11 beadlock I have with large neg offset. Any ideas are welcome.
