I would have thought that the 20" Fuel wheels would be lighter than the stock 18" wheels due to the material used.
- What brake upgrades have you done as a result of these wheel size/weight increases?
- What was the weight of the stock wheel/tire combo (per wheel)?
A lot of what you're talking about sounds like a drastic increase in unsprung weight with zero improvement to your brake system to handle what is essentially hauling around a LOT of weight at all times.
- What is the weight of your new wheel/tire combo (per wheel)?
Just going from stock tires up to a 20" tire will be an extra 13 lbs each, plus wheel weight. Then add rotational mass and inertia and you've got yourself a recipe for running into things (as you did and almost did again)
I will look at upgrading the brakes on Tuesday when they do the shocks if the tire shop recommend it.........at the end of the day I went from BF Goodrich to Bridgestone Duelers and it was like chalk and cheese as far as stopping and ride confidence.
Let's see what goes down on Tuesday
