Default Re: Another newbie wheel question

looking at those rims, they will put alot of stress on the hubs which means you will go through hubs more frequently than over stock.

now what you consider often is all up to you. maybe every 30k, 40k ,50k who knows.

you might go through ball joints and tire rods, but if you buy quality, you can reduce it

tire rods i would just face the fact you will need to replace them, so might as well buy some Krytonites HD ones.

your stock control arms will be fine, just replace the ball joints with MOOG ones.

hubs, you will need replacements, and to save you money i would learn how to do it, and get the tools for it.

i use Timke hubs, but also have a couple of hubs i bought cheap off ebay just in case. timke ones will run in the $200 range each, but i havent had any problems with mine now in 40k miles, and i have 37 inch tires on 20 rims
