Can someone explain to me the super offset wheels under the jacked up trucks?

As long as it doesnt change the axle angle shouldn't make much difference

Fronts hubs go out with the quickness as wheels with the wrong offset greatly increase the load on them.

Those wheels are meant for a rear wheel drive. 4x4's have a much different offset, just like front drive cars.

And frankly, tires exposed like that outside the body are illegal in most if not areas. Dangerous as hell in an accident.

It just seems like your truck would get dirty really fast.

That’s definitely not a stock suspension. If you are going to go with a setup like that, you spend a shite ton on suspension to keep the truck riding like it should.

Not if you like getting flung into the air and letting Isaac Newton take over.

ETA: I see you've provided the class a visual aid of exactly what we're talking about.

Don't you even Bro-Dozer bruh?

Funny that tire manufactures do so much to increase the durability of side walls for some idiot to just to expose his rims like that. They're hard as frick to mount. we sub them out. ain't no way i'm taking the chance of scratching his Luke Bryans.

they don't align worth a frick either. three months from the time of puchase/install, they'll be back complaining of uneven tire wear.

Saw a guy with extremely offset wheels break his axle while driving on the interstate.

I laughed.

Illegal in Louisiana. Legal in Texas.

Were you at the stars & stripes car show in your area this past weekend?

Not a fan of the offset look, but to each his own. His money, if he is happy with it then drive on.

shouldn't make much difference if you don't mind changing bearings, hubs, ball joints, etc etc. but past that, rock on.
