Re: Making your tires sit out further?
One of the good things I like about CJ's is they are narrow enough to
run on most overgrown trails.
You can use rims with more back space, but be aware they can be illegal
in a 'lot' of places because they can move the tire out past the fender
flares. This causes debris and water to splash and can/will give you
some nasty dings on the arm from flying rocks if you drive with your
arm/elbow out the window.
You can get extended fender flares for this.
Also the wider and bigger you go, the faster things like wheel bearings
and ball joints wear out.
