Hi all, wasn't sure if this should go in Brakes/Tires/Wheels or here but here goes.
I found a great deal on some 35s (315/70R17 specifically) and I've determined that with some new 0mm offset wheels they should fit with only very minor modification since I have it lifted enough. Before I pull the trigger, besides the obvious need to regear the diffs, are there any considerations about extra wear on engine components I need to worry about? Some users over at thenewx were concerned about the structural integrity of the R180 when going up to this size. Would a locker install alleviate these concerns? I understand there might be some drop in MPGs and highway speed but is there anything else I'm overlooking?
Thanks
