will be more stable......until the wheel bearings fall out! wheels like this also place a heap of leverage on king pins. |

Chances are your bearings will fail due to the seal getting chewed out in mud and dirt well before the extra load of those rims get to them. Go for it. weaves |

You got that tin top from Cooroy hey... Nice clean car that one... Wheels with big(ger than stock) offset will reduce wheelbearing and kingping bearing life but they are cheap enough to replace a bit more often. I say save your wheel money and put WT diffs under it instead. You will eventually want bigger tyres and you'll need the spring clearance... Go WT diffs. |

The main advantage of WT axles isnt the width. Its the extra bonuses you get from that width. ie: cromo CVS and more steering lock without scrubbing on springs. |

wat ya mean taff? i trying to get more stability out of a wider wheel base? it just looks awkward with a high top. looks like it wants to lay over all the time. my wife works for Bundy motor group. i trying to get jeep flares to hide it all... |

With WT axles the knuckle is further away from the spring. They only make cromo CVs for WT axles. Thats pretty much what i mean

For future reference wheelbase is the length between both axles. "Wheel track", is the width of the wheels as such. |

To add to what Highway said above.. think of the model vairents we(as sierra owners) use.. LENGTH=SWBase vs LWBase WIDTH=NTrack vs WTrack HEIGHT= unmentioned vs Hightop
