Is there an ideal wheel width for a 37? Currently have 37" BFG KO2s mounted on factory rubicon wheel. I think these are 7.5"... or are they 7"?
Discussion with someone has me curious if larger contact patch wouldn't improve on road manners. I don't really want aftermarket rims but looking at options.
Mopar simulated beadlock - 8" width - $337 and only gains 1/2" width. OE look and ability to use as beadlock later if I want
Raceline 950B Guage - 8.5" - only 180$ and pretty light wheel at 31#. Unsure how they hold up off-raod
Raceline 928B Monster (simulated beadlock) - 9" - Looks pretty similar to the actual beadlock but 10# less.
Is there an ideal width? What about if I go to a 39x13.5 in the future?
Current setup, I can air down to 26# before i get a full contact patch but still you can tell the tire is bulged.
